Just to be absolutely clear:

The President of the United States has absolutely no power to “take away” any right enumerated in the Constitution from any person.

And that is how every single article, blog post, and social media commentary should start when discussing this ludicrous statement.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

It's a beautiful feeling to be inspired enough to write, but choosing not to.

I would like to learn a bunch of songs I haven't played live before. Spent too many years playing the same tracks and it's time to stretch (even if I am horrible at learning new songs, perhaps due to forever making newer ones?).

sure seems like escalation

If police, who receive ample training, still have issues with fatalities, I can only imagine what happens when these Dudley Do Wrongs get their fourth Monster before the mask goes on

Another incident of federal agents pointing guns at Chicago area residents.

Tweet from @laura_n_rod

Text: A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them.

Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.

Considering his reliable incoherence, would it be a stretch to envision he has a Musk neural implant being fed AI prompts?

Trump: "We don't know anything about defeat. We heaped honor upon honor and carved greatness and splendor into the pages of history. We only talk about the Navy and only use the word, splendor. We also say victory because that's the other. We have splendor and we have victory."

I was sad as hell when we lost the neighborhood cat we would feed. I can't even imagine what it would feel like losing a pet I lived with.

There is no way I can do what I do, releasing this much dope music, without having two talented friends Chef Mike and Tali Rodriguez, essentially on retainer for graphics wizardry and engineering.

Shout out to dope friends who make this possible.
