Boring, Nerdy, husband and dad. Would much rather not be living in interesting times. In simpler days I enjoyed DnD, video games, fantasy novels, hiking, shooting, and over priced whiskey and craft beer. When in doubt, eldritch blast a fascist. He/him.

Honest to god a DCCC text saying "[Name], we are going to crush these motherfuckers in November. I know we've been sometimes desperate sounding in these texts before but right now I'm telling you if everyone kicks in $30 we can rip their still-beating heart out before their eyes" would work on me rn

Re: live-streaming the execution of Hasan. This is the perspective of nurse from the icu that took care of him in after his killing spree. He understands not just the gravity of Hasan’s actions but has obviously meditated on the consequences of our own. If only our leaders would do the same.
Hasan walked into Fort Hood expecting to die.
He believed his death would be rewarded. At his trial, he called no witnesses and offered no detense, and his own court-appointed lawyers worried he was seeking execution. He failed at martyrdom once. Now we're about to hand it to him, in high definition, for every extremist with an internet connection to replay, manipulate and celebrate.
We supply the footage. They supply the meaning.
Long after the politicians finish congratulating themselves, that video will still exist. Their moment of bravado becomes somebody else's recruiting material for decades. And this failure to think past the immediate display of power reaches far beyond one execution.
We count the enemies we kill. We rarely count the enemies we create.

The "Party of Reagan" has the United States siding with Russian aggression against NATO allies and a brutal war on a European democratic US partner. Yes, the whole party. If they didn't, they would impeach and remove the president who is blatantly breaking US law to help fund Russia's war effort.

10. Within three (3) days of the date of this Order, and every seven (7) days thereafter until Plaintif's return to the United States or further order of the Court, Defendants must file a status report, supported by a declaration from an official with personal knowledge, stating: (a) the information known to Defendants about Plaintiff's current location, custodial status, and physical condition; (6) the steps Defendants have taken since the prior report to comply with paragraph 5; and (c) the further steps Defendants intend to take and the anticipated timeline. Plaintiff may respond to each status report within three (3) days.Pursuant to the Court's order issued on October 6, 2026 (Doc. 14), Respondents hereby inform the Court that Respondents are working collaboratively with Petitioner's counsel who shared valuable information to help Respondents attempt to locate and contact Petitioner.
Respondents had a conference with the relevant stakeholders within the government and are beginning the process to facilitate Petitioner's return.
Respondents will provide a more substantive update next week along with a declaration regarding specific steps that are being taken and the most recent updates on Respondent's efforts to facilitate Petitioner's return.
