The Lieutenant Governor of Indiana is hosting a Nazi rally.

I’m glad Congressman Landsman & his team were able to help this specific constituent, but the Trump administration is deliberately delaying DACA renewals, and it’s affecting hundreds of thousands of hard-working people who don’t deserve to be treated this way.

These comments from the developer are giving OceanGate vibes: 😬 “Nathan Berman, managing principal and founder of MetroLoft, the developer overseeing the conversion, said on Tuesday that “this incident is nothing more than a typical construction mishap.”

Funny you should ask… www.nytimes.com/2026/06/18/r...

The thing is, legislators know that their vague laws don’t cover cases like this. They’ve been told. If they actually cared about women, they’d seek out experts to ensure that their laws protect exceptional cases. They do NOT care. They are 100% OK with women dying or having horrific outcomes.

Trump called up his Brownshirts. He sent them to attack the Capitol. He pardoned them of crimes they were convicted of by juries of their peers. Now he’s rewarding them, using taxpayer money, & empowering them to commit violence on his behalf again in the future. Following the fascism playbook.

“I don’t believe in building libraries, or museums…” i.e. He’s using donations to finance a new hotel, and the profits go back into his pocket.

If we’re lucky, we’ll look back on these days as the third rebirth of our nation. Minneapolis will have national monuments like Boston, and Philadelphia, and Gettysburg, commemorating the everyday patriots who stood up for liberty and justice for all.

“Residents will respond to Elflein's participation with Blood Tribe at a peaceful vigil at 7 p.m., Dec. 17, in the Glendale Village Square.”

My kid has been on a band trip to Disney, and now they’re supposed to be flying home. There are about 80 kids, plus directors & chaperones, so they are traveling in two groups. My kid’s group has a direct flight home, which is currently showing a 1.5 hour delay. (🤞) The other group, however…

I’m was at local marching band competition this evening, and one of the bands had a ceremonial human sacrifice where the flag corp killed off one of the drum majors.

No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings. Join the October 18th peaceful No Kings protests. Remind Donald Trump that America is still the land of the free and the home of the brave. @gtconway.bsky.social

“Committee Chair Jane Timken (R) argued that they don't need to consider “fairness” when making a congressional map. "The word fairness is not in the Constitution, correct?" Timken was met with extensive laughter and shock from the audience. Democrats were stunned to hear her say that out loud.”

I shouldn’t have to say this, but please do NOT take medical advice from someone who can’t pronounce acetaminophen.

For my first (non-reply) post, I’m going to live-tweet this extraordinary football game between our home team (SHS) and the away team (MHS) that is making this so spectacular. (Note: I am not a football enthusiast, and I’m only here because my kid is in the band.)

People who are looking for a way to fight Trump, I have it for you in one name: Kilmar Abrego-Garcia. He's the poor guy who got pulled off the street, declared a gang member for no reason, then sent off to that hell-hole in El Salvador. Fight for him because this case will unravel everything. 🧵

People who are scholars of European history, as I am not, point out parallels to 1930s rise of fascism there. I have spent more time learning about China. Which is why I keep thinking about parallels to Cultural Revolution nihilism. (Article Jeremy Mayer) thehill.com/opinion/tech...

I know everybody is well-read on WWII so it’s easy to come up with Hitler analogies, but I would propose that there’s plenty of parallels to be drawn from Mao’s willful ineptitude. www.goodreads.com/book/show/97...
