WATCH: “This is f*cking kidnapping! That’s not your badge… I do have a little bit of education… get the f*ck out of here, racial profiling is illegal…” A brave woman melts ice 🧊 💪🏽 www.instagram.com/reel/DLOWbEs...

I had to say to myself “Sir Arthur Conan …”

“U.S. Officials Concede They Don’t Know Whereabouts of Iran’s Uranium Stockpile” Mission accomplished! 🤦🏽‍♂️

when you become important at work

So glad that we got a seven game series. Congrats to the Pacers and to the Thunder.

i am BEGGING you before you pop off about paywalls to go to your local library's website and scroll through their digital resources. mine gives me access to NYT, WSJ, WaPo and if its linked with PressReader or a similar app, all the news magazines, sports, fashion, hobby etc. FOR FREE.

Saw a butterfly, my first of the year. Pretty sure it was a swallowtail which is the only kind I’ve seen in my neighborhood the last few years.

What am I worried about? -Safety of 30k US troops in the Middle East -cybersecurity (since CISA was recently gutted) & homeland security (as HLS focused on immigration) -Economic strength (oil prices and tariffs) -Allied assistance (we’ll need that now) -Domestic intell (leadership at FBI/DNI)

And here I stand both to impeach and purge

This boy’s father was killed so that Trump friend and ally Benjamin Netanyahu could avoid prison for his many felony fraud offenses. That’s what it comes down to. Netanyahu is committing genocide just to protect himself from accountability for his own crimes. Among the most evil men alive today.

The road unravelled

i’m against it

REMINDERS: - Americans opposing bombing Iran outnumber warmongers by a margin of 20% (45-25) - ONLY 25% of Americans support airstrikes against Iran at this time.

STORY TIME: ICE rolled up. The city of Bell, California said, “Not today!”

Personally I am unfamiliar with any legitimate activity that requires switching license plates, which by the way is illegal.

it me

We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.

Old enough to remember when Kristi Noem shot a puppy

Ran into someone I hadn’t seen for a few months. They’re probably just on Ozempic/Wegovy but if they’d said “I dying from __” I’d have believed them.

Today is summer solstice in the northern hemisphere, the longest day of the year. But our latest sunsets are next week, Monday (June 23) through Saturday (June 28). What gives? Sunrises are already getting later. Today sunrise and sunset are at their maximum separation.

Any real fan of The Who will agree that their best song is Teenage Wasteland.
