“The Venezuelan man and his family were released from detention in Frio County after 23 days following the Hays County raid. They came home, wearing ankle monitors, to find an eviction notice on their Pflugerville home and a stack of past due bills.” They did nothing. He had two tattoos. 23 days.

Flour massacres right at the beginning, flour massacres still.

I didn’t wait, ate the taco for a snack and it was spiiiicy.

A city sleeping.

Totally dead out there, but of course it was great. I already ate, but a guy insisted on buying me a taco to take home so I have breakfast.

I’m not sure I have the energy for a rainy moon walk tonight, but the night sure is beautiful in its way.

Ugh. It’s even worse. I didn’t realize Tristan is trans. When he said Jonathan died protecting him, he meant he thinks he was the true target.

I’ve been thinking about Misty Upham, who was mocked by police when she needed help. They didn’t believe she was a movie star and told her that maybe should ask George Clooney for help.

Palm trees in the gloom.

What network?

I can’t read any more about the broligarchy. Someone, take the wheel.

Yes.

“Has anyone been quicker than Gavin Newsom to erode their once-strong prospects for nomination for the presidency?” @mirandayaver.bsky.social (There is a screen shot. I’m not posting it, but you can see it at the account above.)

This is from earlier.

Maaaan, don’t read statements from cops as fact. You all know better than that. If it’s a quote in a news piece or a transcript from a trial, it’s still a quote by a cop. Disclose sources and consider when there are motives for spokespeople to be less than truthful.

Awwww. My favorite anecdote about Welch is that he was the father figure to Huey Lewis, who named himself after the poet. Also, Ring of Bone Zendo named after him. Such an important figure.

The journalist Allan Nairn used to talk about how a presidential candidate had to prove that they were willing to shed blood, but now all candidates need to affirm that they’d be willing to help our political ally shed blood against Palestinian citizens. How did support for Israel become a fit test

Flood advisory, huh.

"HAPPY" 3rd JUNE Y'ALL

MAHA language enters the cuts: bloat, fat, optimize etc. It’s all emotionally directed.

Always carry a Sharpie.

It says that “consumers” (middle class people? Idk) are catching up to what poor people have *been doing.*

My bestie calls me a gloom merchant because I really love this weather.

If you ever watched Cops as a kid you were being groomed to root for state thugs on your little screen today.

Anyone on the ground at the Minneapolis ICE protest can reach me via Signal: signal.me#eu/VssgH88q6...

As long as they have him watching his reality TV shows (us), the broligarchy does what it wants.

This.

Meanwhile:

It has to be. This is all about optics. The reality TV that Noam was talking about: we’re in it.

It’s about to get wild.

Stones for the planting.

As the late-great Bill Hicks might say, that terrorism dollar is a good dollar.

“[At a meeting for Animal Industries], members discussed their difficulty getting prosecutors to charge activists with crimes, with one industry representative saying the issue was their lack of legal standing…. The rep suggested calling on law enforcement to deploy “terrorism” charges instead.”

“The birds Rosenberg removed, she says, were all smaller and weaker than their flockmates, showing signs of what she believed to be infection and dehydration, along with open wounds and other visible injuries.”

If you live long enough you begin to see horrors ripple out into the future. I remember someone telling me that essential to the skull & bones secret societies are rituals to “kill all feeling.” I thought of the Bush family & of their casual cruelty, jokes about Katrina “the little brown ones” etc.
