I've been catching up with DS9 recently. Season 5 "The Ship" is one of the best episodes of the season.

“I promise you, it would have been a war crime.” that’s what Alejandro Barranco told me what would have happened if he treated a detainee when he was deployed to Afghanistan with the Marines like federal agents treated his father.

To every Democratic Party consultant, candidate, staffer, and operative I have ever said “money doesn’t vote” to, I would like to reiterate…MONEY DOESNT VOTE.

@joyannreid.bsky.social Just gave a clear and articulate history lesson about Iran to a bunch of talking head idiots on CNN and it was so satisfying. I hate corporate media but it was nice to see Joy slap around the meathead mouthpieces.

The Supreme Court just ruled that Trump can deport people to countries they’re not from. He can now deport you to a gulag in Russia or Saudi Arabia if he wants to.

“DEI” wth a hard R

Translation on Trump's position on Iran: "based on the fact Putin threatened me and Israel also threatened me, and they both have my Epstein blackmail records I'm going to chicken out and pray this blows over in two weeks."

Trump has been walling us off from foreign-made goods, ideas, and most significantly, humans. This month, Trump banned entry from most or all nationals from 21 countries; leaked memo suggests another 36 to be added. Trump is finally building his wall, and Americans will pay for it.

The “Appeal to Heaven” flag, a popular symbol for Christian nationalists that was waved by January 6 rioters, was raised over the Small Business Administration headquarters last week. www.wired.com/story/far-ri...

Today, more starving Palestinians were lured into “aid distribution sites”. They went in hope that they might find a bag of flour. They were gunned down and murdered instead. What utter inhumanity. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday. This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.

My Pet Goat, the epic novel edition.

When you spent $25 million on your birthday party but the tanks were old and the clown wasn’t funny and the taco bowls didn’t have enough cheese and all the cool kids went to a different party.

Bot-like tweets aside: At least they're being more honest about their immigration objectives. This was never about "law and order," coming in the "right way," or cracking down on "criminal illegals." It was always about keeping brown people from "sh*thole countries" out.

It's somehow ALWAYS the job of the protesters to de-escalate as if we're the ones with the tear gas, rubber bullets, tanks, and a proven record of murder. Cops however are ungovernable rabid dogs, who collect salaries from us but over whom we have absolutely no control. Good deal huh?

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

ICE raids hit across Los Angeles today—and locals are rising up. This is what resistance looks like. ✊🏾 This was about an hour ago…

The most striking thing about the LA protests is how many people just dropped everything to show up and yell at federal agents. There are people in suits, and carrying dogs, and wearing flip flops or bike helmets. These are not people who planned to do this today. But there they are.
