ICE has become synonymous with the Stasi/Gestapo/KGB and other unaccountable police forces. It must be dismantled because it cannot be reformed or redeemed.

1000’s of %? This is the face of a man who knows his chapter in history will be one that embarrasses his family.His descendants will disavow him.Unrelated people will have to explain “no not those Rubios”.He has sold his everything for nothing.I’d feel pity except it was done will full knowledge

Sitting down to watch this Christmas classic with my wife who has never seen it before! Welcome to the party pal! #HoHoHo

In a world of Oscars, be a Carlos. #F1 #Formula1

In the almost 30 years since graduating from Northwestern I had always been proud to be an alumnus until today.This is weak,it is caving to a bully, and failing to stand up for students & the larger NU community.

The best part of holidays is all the random companies you gave your email to send you a "Happy Groundhog Day, save 10% on your next order" and you can unsubscribe

Watching OG The Running Man movie. It is completely disconnected and a shit version of the book. It is also a peak late ‘80’s early 90’s action movie and a great watch. Both things can be true.

Told a group of young Dems I was dressing as Indiana Jones from Raiders for Halloween and they asked if I meant Dial of Destiny Indy. No respect.

Happy Halloween.

Uh, thanks for the update.

What is the word/term for people questioning your qualifications because of assumptions instead of looking at your CV? Mansplaining comes to mind but didn’t know if there was another word.

Awesome, we made the @nytimes.com …oh wait. Shit www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/u...

Trash day in WNC.

Waffle doing what Waffle does. 🪦

I’m not an expert but I lived in NYC w/ Giuliani (1996-2001) & Bloomberg (02-04,10-12) and I think the person to make the big 🍎 work for the people who make it work is @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

Guy trying to slip into the HOV.

Couldn’t figure out WTF was going on in my feed and why everyone had gone insane then realized I was on Twitter.

My North Star is not making my daughter & her potential offspring ashamed of our family name. A low bar. I wish more electeds understood shame & its place in truly among our country great.

My deliver person caught on camera. Just glad she didn’t take a bite.

Jesus is there no limit to the pettiness? This is like blowing up the car and burning down the house of the guy who had 11 items in the "10 items or less" lane at the grocery store. What a fucking loser.

I’m ready for district courts to start calling for the impeachment of SCOTUS. Resistance is bottom up.

Moths just chilling in the light. Thx for the visit.

Not every day you get to host a Navy pilot/astronaut/US Senator at your house & I would gladly have Sen. Kelly back again. It is tough when you are in the minority (a feeling I know well) but he is working to hold the line against the overreach of Trump. A pretty awesome human being all around.

First snake of the summer.This was a good size one about 3 1/2 feet long. These are great for rodent control & are just fun to have around the house.They’re non-venomous & even if they were to bite you it’s like getting a scratch from briars.Please don’t hurt or kill them.

bsky.app/profile/turn... Hell yeah!

This weekend my wife Hope and four of her Deaf Mafia girlfriends descended upon ATL. Tagging the beltline and having a blast.

If you are 2nd in the line of succession and don’t know what the president is doing on a daily basis you shouldn’t be 2nd in the line of succession.

Grateful for the work of the NCGA today to help my hometown recover from Hurricane Helene.

Waiting for the @cubsbot.bsky.social to do a special jersey as the Chicago Popes.

1,500 new teacher salaries just fell into the ocean. www.cnn.com/2025/05/06/p...

Trying to find where the smell of death is coming from.

Cat (Waffle) goes outside to confidently explore.

Left a can of unopened seltzer in the car in Raleigh. The increase in pressure from the heat ripped the top of the can off. I would have thought the failure point would have been the drink opening. Boyle’s Law IRL.

If we’re making Govt more efficient will we now allow the digitization of forms 4473? Will the ATF be allowed to create a searchable electronic database in the name of efficiency & cost reduction? Asking for my #2A friends who are concerned about unfettered access to govt info by private citizens.

AI is the mayor of Uncanny Valley.

What’s next? Removing elevators, ramps, and braille? wapo.st/4jGZpAn

Be sure to tune in tonight at 7pm to catch me and Rep. Jake Johnson discussing Helene recovery with Tim Boyum on Capital Tonight #ncga #ncpol spectrumlocalnews.com/.../politics...

Folks headed to Costco for coffee right now.

I met the Other Brian Turner years ago, a great local musician who deserves to have his vote count. #ncpol www.citizen-times.com/story/opinio...

Damage from Helene was $60 billion (per NC OSBM). NC's entire budget 2023-24 was $34 billion. No state can handle these disasters on their own. #ncpol #ncga apnews.com/article/trum...

Me: which box one do you want? (sends pic to daughter) Daughter: the variety pack Me: they are both variety packs Daughter: the one with the red & purple can Me: 🧐

@npr.org interviews climate-denier Sen Johnson (WI) about withholding disaster aid to CA. Glad his absurd takes were aired but NPR should point out the Sen denier stance makes him unqualified to talk about what policies should be implemented to protect communities. www.npr.org/2025/01/15/n...

Not really sure what is going on here but Waffle (cat) is always watching and waiting.

I keep hearing on the news about cadaver dogs being brought in from afar for climate disasters like Helene, Milton, LA fires. The most grim climate change growth industry is searching for unaccounted people.

Opened up the access panel to begin faucet replacement & then my helper arrived.

Hey @washingtonpost.com you made it an easy decision. open.substack.com/pub/anntelna...

Finally got pressured/shamed into subscribing to @flaminghydra.com by @parkermolloy.com & @lukeoneil47.bsky.social’s posts.Worth it only to feel smug & able to scale the Everest-like paywall ($36/yr?) to read some good writing that I’ll only understand on a surface level. Thx for showing me the way

There is an art to starting a fire and there is an art to keeping a fire. Two distinct but complementary skills. I have done both tonight but have mastered neither.

Cat gives zero F’s that the house is being packed up.

We are moving and the folks from Asheville Area Movers are here packing. I can only imagine the crazy stuff these guys have seen over the years. I would absolutely read a collection of short stories written by movers.
