The Swalwell story brings up an issue with a famous medtwitter doctor Josh Mugele. He was PD for an emergency medicine program and admitted on twitter to having sexual relationships with multiple female physicians that were in the residency program. He stated that the encounters were consensual.

The horror of sitting across from a Trump voter is the realization that they do not believe in universal human rights. Simple as. They believe in a tiered, racist and patriarchical system of humanity, and they're voting to ensure they remain at the top of it.

This is no way to live, man

I am not one of those who believes that history repeats, but consider the following from Herodotus: the Oracle at Delphi told the fabulously wealthy King Croesus that if he invaded Persia he would "destroy a great empire." Croesus invaded and lost--the empire he destroyed was his own.

Constitutional lawyer here. I don't think it would violate the Constitution for the VP/Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, but the intended constitutional remedy for this behavior is impeachment & removal. The fact that that remedy is politically impossible is a scandal and a crisis.

it probably isn't helping anyone's mental state that the news every morning is like "Things Have Gotten Much Worse Again! Further, No Sign of Anyone Attempting to Stop It" great thanks

Court: "Are you here for moral support? Because you're not going to speak." Off to a great start!

I wrote about Kat.

SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors. My report:

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Marimar Martinez, shot 5 times by Border Patrol in Chicago, speaks out after Renee Good, Alex Pretti deaths 'I am their voice' NEW w/ @adrianacardmag.bsky.social: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Father at toddler swim class with his lawyer’s phone number conspicuously written in dark sharpie on his arm

If you think covid fucked up a generation, wait until you see the long tail of psychic damage from years of “the masked secret police could come to your town and randomly kill you and blame you for it, no one is telling them not to”

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

ICE agents are America's failures, basically indistinguishable from lazy school shooters, losers who want to play Call of Duty on our streets against people who can't fight back. They have unlimited ammo and toss tear gas like they're pressing L1. They have to be defunded and jailed. All of them.

Finally, if you think they wouldn't shoot you in a heartbeat because - I dunno, you're a white dude, or you voted for this - you are deluding yourself. They don't give a damn about any American. They know that the walls are closing in and are petrified about the accountability that will come.

Breaking: jury finds Chicago resident Juan Espinoza Martinez NOT GUILTY of placing a hit on Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino.

My kitchen table issue is “don’t shoot people at their kitchen tables”

Ever relevant, this poem by Mary Oliver, especially today.

“Of course, it doesn’t feel right to want IT to HAPPEN. And it’s obviously not okay to try to make IT HAPPEN. That’s not what this is ABOUT, just to make things CLEAR LEGALLY as far as VARIOUS AGENCIES are concerned.” www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/whe...

My sense is that the “male loneliness crisis” is not really about addressing men’s emotional needs but rather the relatively newfound absence of having someone to perform domestic labor for you quietly in the background now that there is a longer gap between your mother and your wife doing it

Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

Happening right now. Community members in Elgin, IL are in a standoff with Feds who are trying to abduct their neighbor. ERO guy in picture on left just peppered sprayed person I screencapped.

Tis the seasona and all that, so I put together a little gift guide of cool artists, makers, authors and other good stuff I like a lot. All rad, no bad. dansinker.com/posts/2025-1...

Did the turkey also storm the Capitol on January 6th?

Yes, HID headlights are very bright but the bigger problem is the proliferation of gargantuan vehicles with 5’+ hood heights so that if you’re driving a normal sized car their headlights are at your eye level rather than seat level like they’re supposed to be.

Federal immigration agents were confronted in Oak Park on Saturday morning by residents blowing whistles as local Girl Scouts collect food for local pantries, rattling some girls and their parents. trib.al/ADixIUH

"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”

NEW: Judge Gettleman just ordered ICE to improve "serious conditions" inside its Broadview facility in Chicago. Yesterday, people testified in court that they were crammed into overcrowded and filthy cells for days, with little access to lawyers, and pressured into deportation.

I am really trying to get people to understand how much what is happening to our children in Chicago with regard to ICE abductions is like school shootings/gun violence: the random and massive exposure to this particular violence will imprint on a generation and no privilege can fully shield you.

Big day at U.S. District Court in D.C. where Sean Dunn, the D.C. Sandwich Guy, is on trial for misdemeanor assault of a federal officer. Border Patrol agent Gregory Lairmore is on the stand narrating surveillance video of the sammie toss. 'Now he’s struck me with the sandwich,' Lairmore says.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

🚨 There’s still time to support the transit bill: 1. Fill out your contact information 3. Under "firm/business" put "self" 4. Under "representation" put "self" 5. Under "position" choose subject matter "SB2111" and "proponent" 6. Under "testimony" choose "record of appearance only" 7. "Submit"

THIS is the reason why I have consistently tried to emphasize that Border Patrol and ICE are different agencies with different duties and different leadership and different styles. Border Patrol are the aggro cowboys compared to ICE. Now they're going to be the ones running the show.

ICE has been cracking down hard across the vast expanse of the greater Chicago area, and I wrote a little bit about what you need to understand about what it’s like here now. Plus, I compiled some resources for locals to get alerts and whistles. dansinker.com/posts/202…
