You know that old-timey car horn sound? “Aroogah!” It’s called a ‘Klaxon,’ and was originally a brand name. We do not yet have an entry for ‘Aroogah!’

“ICE in just a few weeks has transformed itself into the closest thing that the US has ever had to a ‘secret police,’ with more seemingly culturally in common with the Klan nightriders of Reconstruction than their federal agency brethren like the FBI or ATF.” @garrettgraff.bsky.social

I've made it clear that I don't believe in any of this supernatural hocus pocus bs but I've noticed that so called believers, Trump cultists, qanon, conspiracy theorists etc have carefully avoided addressing how similar the word "MAGA" is to "Magog"... Just sayin...

ICE agents are complaining that every time they go out (unmasked/in unmarked cars) protesters are dumping pounds of glitter on them. So people can identify them as ICE for days afterward. Time to buy glitter . . .

This article details how Trump has sidelined two of his worst cabinet choices—Hegseth and Gabbard—during deliberations over Iran. Everyone knew they should never have been appointed. But Trump did it anyway and now it would be embarrassing to fire them. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Ukrainian girl dances her prom waltz while clutching her fallen father's uniform. 💔 The girl's father lost his life defending his country, defending Ukraine. And russia is to blame for all this, and it continues to terrorize an independent country. Russia must be stopped.

Sen Mike Lee & the silence from Republicans made it clear: decency is in the rearview mirror. After he mocked a political assassination, Ed Shelleby, a senior staffer to Sen Tina Smith, wrote to Lee’s top staffers. @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com read it on-air, and honestly everyone should hear it.
