It was a smoky dawn at the lakefront in Evanston. It was mostly just that ominous, very slight, orangey-brown haze that makes everything a little surreal.

Everyone needs to stop what they’re doing and watch this video. “It seems like there’s a lack of diversity here today, and it’s mostly people who look like you and me, and I just…?” This lady’s response is🔥

As a young child, my sister hit Huey Lewis right in the sack while deplaning at SFO. He patted her on the head as he doubled over.

New at The Watch: I dug into archival witness accounts of the British siege of Boston prior to the American Revolution. They are remarkably similar to what we're seeing in Minneapolis. open.substack.com/pub/radleyba...

Two cities under siege
Remarkably similar scenes from Boston and Minneapolis, 260 years apart, show a federal government betraying its founding principles.

1/ Another pressure point outside of a general strike is the public and private shunning of anyone who still supports this administration. I made a clear "MAGA not welcome here" policy long ago, and that has included family members. They need to feel societal pressure. They need to be shamed.

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

Fifteen years ago a friend told me the reason she doesn't shower at the health club. "No one needs to know how thoroughly I dry my vagina." I think about this every time I shower.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.
Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

Sadly, you might wanna hold that thought. Video exists of a 15 yo girl being kidnapped from her car in Hoffman Estates yesterday and of a woman grabbed getting into her car on a quiet street in Kenilworth. Houses were breached in Elgin recently. The suburbs are not necessarily safer.

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.

Old school? Mostly massage & acupuncture & meditation groups. Everyone I've known through the center is pro-vax and it's one of the few places in town that doesn't ostracize masking. Sure, there are likely some quacks but at no greater rate than your average Primary Care practice at this point.

Movie still of Wilford Brimley as Blair in John Carpenter's "The Thing." In the scene, Blair has been quarantined in the shed due to the suspicion that he may be harboring a murderous alien in his bowels.
