And just like that everyone has forgotten that the thug running ICE took 50 grand in cash and there’s a tape of it. And the DOJ refused to look into it. Where the hell is the outrage?

MAGA is defending Chief Deportation Officer Tom Homan taking 50k in cash-on video. We are living with the most corrupt administration in American history. BTW, Homan needs to self deport.

It’s horrible about how Jimmy Kimmel was treated, but hey—what’s going to happen to Guillermo?

Trump if he knew history or spoke French: L’etat c’est mol.

Nancy Mace and Laura Loomer both need to be involuntarily committed to the same mental health facility- one that takes their phones away.

We are in a very dangerous place right now.

Mainstream America has no idea how Latino communities around the country are being terrorized. It permeates work places, shopping centers, homes, schools, courthouses, and even churches-regardless of immigration status. Put yourself in those shoes.

On top of everything else, he’s a pig.

Beyond disgusting- U.S. officers shaking hands with an indicted war criminal and butcher.

As my colleagues at @steadystatevets.bsky.social, point out, much of Kirk’s rhetoric was divisive, and Vance and MAGA world are twisting his words to be even more divisive and partisan. Scary times.

Another extrajudicial killing by American warships in international waters. This will go over well.

Every once in a while, one of my posts on Elmo’s hellsite goes viral. I had one this weekend, while it’s good that so many appreciate it, the replies contain incredible hate, threats, calls for deportation, etc. I also found out I was part of a CIA plot to flood the US w cocaine. Insane.

Massive effort to get folks fired who said mean things about Charlie Kirk. Meanwhile, Brian Kilmeade openly calls for the killing of homeless people on the air. Make it make sense.

It’s almost as if it’s being done intentionally.

As my colleagues in @steadystatevets.bsky.social point out, this is straight out of the authoritarian playbook, and is ultimately frightening.

Assassination/murder is heinous, not acceptable in any society. I condemn it. I disagree with celebrating his death. But I’ll be damned if lunatics like Laura Loomer can tell me how I should feel and whom I should mourn. F that.

The face of the man who completely terrorizes the entire GOP. Sad, so damn sad.

This…

Good to see that somewhere, a high level government official is being held accountable for his close ties to Epstein.

We are in a very dark place. Will we find a way forward or continue the downward spiral?

So at this point, Putin is simply shoving it in Trump’s face. What a farce.

Two peas in a pedo pod.

So the Supreme Court has made it official. Your name, skin color, language you’re speaking, can make you fair game. America, 2025.

It used to be a slowly boiling lobster. It’s now a four alarm blazing inferno.

F-35’s to Puerto Rico to assist in counter narcotics operations. Right. Maybe we should change it to Department of War.

No country in the world has a Department or Ministry of War-none. The United States of America will be in its own bubble of idiocy, mocked by absolutely everyone. Performative, useless inmates are running the asylum.

I did a couple of short media comments on the whole Venezuelan business, wrong on many levels. But what burns me, is that no one mentions the worst part about Maduro. He is an illegal president who stole an election, imprisons or kills opponents. Edmundo Gonzalez is the elected pres, not Maduro.

What does it say about the state of our country when there is more outrage about Cracker Barrel changing its logo than Congress refusing to release the Epstein papers?

Not as much on here, but, man, after a brief scroll through Elmo’s hell site, you have to wonder how much better off humanity would be had the internet not been invented.

I like my version better.

Reviewing books for @booktasters.bsky.social has been one of my best internet experiences- period.

And Elon Musk is going to have a lot to answer for.

All I can say is that hope springs eternal. On the other hand, “La mala hierba nunca muere.” If you know, you know.

With few exceptions, (notably @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social) Congress has completely relinquished the role of a separate, but equal branch of government. This will be ruinous, Russia, China and others can’t believe their luck. Truly frightening.

Robert F Kennedy Jr. is going to kill all of us.

Pete Hegseth’s warfighter doctrine in full view.

We shut down cyber/influence operations for Russia, and instead target a NATO ally to feed Trump’s “fantasy island” of Greenland. And we got caught. Embarrassing, humiliating and just plain wrong.

So damn depressing…

Good friend,(latino, foreign affairs professional) texted me in the very early AM from DC.The guy was frustrated, & slightly spooked. Related that coming out of the gym, he ran into 4 Guardsmen standing shoulder to shoulder staring him down. Knew that a wrong word would be bad for him. America 2025.

MAGA world has given convicted sex offender, Ghislaine Maxwell far more consideration than her and Epstein’s child victims. That narrative needs to be turned around, and there are indications that this will actually happen. Fingers crossed.

The racist, gleeful replies to the news of Abrego Garcia’s arrest and pending deportation to Uganda on Elmo’s hellsite is beyond infuriating- it’s just plain depressing. What have we become?

@gtconway.bsky.social and I have something in common.

The next Bud Light, Cracker Barrel, Sydney Sweeney, cause celebrate for the moronic MAGA culture warriors.

I understand it’s Russian Flag Day. Congratulations, Vlad on your 72 hour special military operation.

“Nothing can make you prouder than serving your country with honor.” Words from Bill Burns’ father that guided his entire remarkable career. His insights here are a must read.

“We will take you over without firing a shot.” Nikita Khrushchev,1956, and an increasing reality today.

Here’s the thing, and I hate to say it. Due to the media and especially, the so- called White House Press Corps, Trump has been able to divert attention from the entire Epstein scandal. We can’t let this die.

We are such a sick nation in so many ways.

This needs to be a five alarm fire.

Heavy “Open City” vibes, Paris, 1944.
