To anyone who wondered, what could go wrong if we elected as president a highly volatile, deeply dishonest, simple-minded cretin with a revenge fetish, the answer is THIS. All of THIS.

ATTN: If you’re a member of the National Guard or you work for ICE and you’re asked to violate the law or your oath, contact Whistleblower Aid to safely, securely, and legally blow the whistle. You can support Whistleblower Aid HERE: whistlebloweraid.org/beans

"In our federal system, the National Gov. possesses only limited powers; the States and the people retain the remainder. The States have broad authority to enact legislation for the public good—what we have often called a 'police power.' The Fed. Gov., by contrast, has no such authority."-SCOTUS '14

Best sign I saw today: Los Angeles is in Spanish for a reason. The only people ruining the city are the gestapo kidnapping our neighbors.

We’re deeply disappointed in much of the U.S. media. Grateful, however, to international journalists who are telling the truth.

We Have Lift Off... Early evening. Hector The Great Blue Heron (Cousin of Henrik), in perfect form, taking off, to enjoy the fresh air & scenery, of Southern, Ontario. Incredible plumage. Very handsome. 📸🇨🇦 #GreatBlueHeron #Photography #Wildlife #Birds #BirdPhotography #Nature #OntarioParks #Canada

BREAKING: Kamala Harris issues statement on Los Angeles.

Everyone should say it: The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism. Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that's not what's interesting about Miller. It's not brains. It's bile.

Zelenskyy: "Trust me, we understand the Russians much better, the mentality of the Russians, than the Americans understand the Russians. I know for sure Putin doesn't want to stop the war."

True or false?

"Tanner, a chemist at the Univ. of Mississippi working to develop a novel approach for treating glioblastoma, was notified in April that the grant was terminated. “I would like to cure brain cancer,” Dr. Tanner said. “I think that's not particularly controversial.” www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

“Why are ICE & local police acting like hostile forces, invading & occupying our communities, ostensibly to kidnap our immigrant neighbors?” That’s because ICE and local police ARE hostile invading and occupying forces in our communities. They ARE intent on kidnapping and disappearing people.

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

So grateful to be beginning another family summer at #CapeMayPoint Enjoying life here since 1961. 🩵⛱️☀️☀️🌊

A parody from former MAD Magazine editor John Ficarra. But is it? #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #TrumpIsACriminal

Driving rideshare last night, picked up a young passenger who was going to Buona Forchetta for the first time, because she wanted to show them support after last week's ICE raid. The kids are all right.

From a week and a half ago: “As of Monday, the model shows, about 96,000 adults and 200,000 children have died because of the administration’s cutbacks to funding for aid groups and support organizations. The overall death count grows by 103 people an hour.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Tiptoe through the tulips only it's flailing through the fuckery.

We were warned. People chose to ignore it. Now this is our reality.

My sister-in-law sent us a surprise today. While going through some old stuff, she found this picture of me and my wife when we dated in high school. Year would have been 1992. Such a trip to see this after so many years. Only the third picture we’ve unearthed from that time.

Our newest foster dog, Pork Chop, is part Pug, part Pomeranian. Very agreeable guy, seems smart. Maybe he’s your next dog. See other dogs in need of fostering in the Twin Cities: www.thebondbetween.org/foster-dogs

OUR HERO, BALTHAZAR: I loved this movie, felt it was a real bolt of indie lightning. Stars Jaeden Martell. It made me think of MEAN STREETS.

Whenever law enforcement agents are given a quota of a specific number of people to arrest or detain, especially with the WH policy director screaming at their superiors to hit those target numbers, bad things are going to happen. Quotas always result in civil rights violations.

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"

If you really want to drive the point home about how fucked up ICE is then people should start forcing Star Wars themes on ICE. Protesters should start playing the imperial march whenever ICE shows up and should also start dressing like the rebel alliance.

Just a quick, pictorial reminder of what happens when the national guard and military are deployed in response to protests…. #LosAngeles 8647

I got involved in faculty governance 5 years ago because libraries and IT were both vectors of corporate influence over the core functions of the university that went mostly unnoticed by faculty. And now here they just come out and say it in the NYT. It’s not too late to get involved, y’all.

Very strange.....
