I am obligated to note that the Fort Bliss camp already exists and was used by the Biden admin to hold migrant children and teenagers. In 2021 I got whistleblower recordings of officials discussing filthy conditions and lack of medical care: reason.com/2021/05/24/s...

Basically every CPAC speaker is doing the Dwight Schrute Mussolini bit, and the media is so afraid of getting yelled at that they're just writing, "much gesticulating and passion at CPAC this year."

I spend a lot of mornings writing about what's going on in my backyard. It may seem useless, but one day I'm going to write a scene in a park, and the reader is going to be like, "Now there's a son of a bitch who's observed some trees."

An ability to describe things in the world is a basic creative writing skill you can isolate to learn much as an artist learns by, say, sketching a bench or trees in a park. It requires sustained practice and it's easy to tell who hasn't done it.

Loveline gave me a lot of good info I wasn't getting anywhere else when I was a teenager, but damn it was toxic. Also, Dr. Drew turning out to be the bigger P.O.S. in the duo was a harbinger.

There's actually a rich history of small towns abolishing their corrupt police departments, and in some cases disincorporating entirely. I wrote about it a few years ago reason.com/2022/05/08/1...

"The Phoenix Police Department retaliated against a Black man by throwing him in jail for asking basic questions about why he had been stopped, according to a new lawsuit." His attorney also highlights the officers' use of "racially-tinged" comments. www.abc15.com/news/local-n...

The Mississippi Legislature is NOT a "public body" and NOT subject to the Open Meetings Act under state law, a judge has ruled. That means a quorum of House Republicans will be able to continue to meet and make key legislative decisions in private. #MSLeg @nickjudin.bsky.social reports:

By the way, the Chief of Criminal is a hugely important person in a U.S. Attorney’s Office, one of the 3 most important people. The involvement of someone that high-level in a decision about a prosecution suggests shenanigans.

One of the great joys of modern online is doing all the masculine stuff that conservatives performatively value (I have a wife and kid and change the oil on my own car!) and then catching hate from unfuckable weirdos who've never had a real job.

What's the difference between filing a civil lawsuit & filing a charge (criminal complaint)? Civil cases involve disputes between individuals or organizations, often seeking monetary compensation or specific actions, while criminal charges involve offenses against government. No charges filed here.👇
