I’m a comic in Austin, but not *that* kind of comic in Austin.
What if we had a whole bunch of kings and they fought each other in a sort of king Thunderdome? That would be sick.

While some voices on the left demand that we have *no* kings, the Democratic Party should be asking why a pro-monarchy message is winning elections.
As Bismarck famously stated, “Politics is the art of the possible….”
-Ezra Klein probably.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

It’s such a weird move to taunt Trump for chickening out of disastrous and harmful policies.
“Oh, you didn’t completely destroy global trade or start World War Three yet? Fucking chicken… bok bok bok. Follow through and destroy our entire way of life or you’re a little TACO bitch.”

The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought:
- 1.65 million deaths from AIDS
- 500,000 from lack of vaccines
- 550,000 from lack of food aid
- 290,000 from malaria
- 310,000 from TB

Killing children is by design, I'm afraid. "Pro-natalists" like Musk claim they aren't racist, but their pressure to have children is solely focused on white women, while they back policies that literally kill of non-white children.
He's a eugenicist.

Opinion | Musk Said No One Has Died Since Aid Was Cut. That Isn’t True.
A journey through the front lines of global poverty shows that when the world’s richest men slash aid for the world’s poorest children, the result is sickness, starvation and death.

Arlington National Cemetery has scrubbed information about prominent Black, Hispanic and female service members and topics such as the Civil War from its website, part of an effort across the Defense Department to remove all references to diversity, equity and inclusion from its online presence.

Moving a detainee around to evade judicial review is classic authoritarian behavior.
The government claims Mahmoud Khalil was already in NJ on his way to Louisiana by the time his habeas petition was filed—an argument that the NY federal court lacks jurisdiction.
But Khalil's lawyer checked the ICE locator when she filed and even 4 hrs after, and he was listed as still being in NY.

A few years back, centrist Democrats & the Very Serious People mocked & dismissed the slogan ‘abolish ICE’.
Today’s actions are a reminder of how ICE is a rogue, lawless agency that is easily weaponized by an authoritarian administration & that it very much should be abolished.
