At a rest area in SC, I overheard an employee loudly telling a coworker that "he" needs to be impeached, he isn't doing anything, that prices are just getting higher, and that he doesn't care because he can't run again. If he's losing working-class white women in Upstate SC... Just hope she votes.

In 8th grade a friend accepted monetary pledges to shave his head except for a center strip. He followed through; the pledgers didn't. We then learned a yearbook photo camera had failed weeks before, so his photo was retaken. Anyone falling for FOTUS's new dividend promise, get ready for the buzz.

I wish the nice lady at Trader Joe's who complimented my choice of a Japanese pancake for dinner tonight had warned me that as soon as I sprinkled the tuna flakes on the cooked pancake, they would START FREAKING MOVING AROUND. (But it was really good so...)

1988, Memphis, TN. A friend and I were having dinner at a Chinese restaurant. I’d recently broken up with a guy, and so had he. He suggested we get married and live out our lives as companions on a peaceful mountaintop where no one else could break our hearts. I thought it was a beautiful idea. 1/3

I was a kid, oblivious, but I remember the bicentennial celebrations as unifying, hopeful. My sisters and I wore prairie dresses and bonnets and climbed on tanks. We decorated our bikes for our town parade. I got a smiling peanut eraser, and then Jimmy was elected. The utopia of ignorance, I guess.

It’s not over until they leave or vote, but SC Sen Richard Cash indicates redistricting is dead. “South Carolina citizens are going to the polls today. And neither my conscious or common sense is going to let me stop an election that is already underway” Cash said.

Cash says other republicans agree with him. When today started, SC Senate redistricting supporters could only lose one vote for cloture. Over 25,000 early votes were cast by noon today when early voting started. In 2022, there were 125,000 votes in the entire two weeks of early voting.

Moving Bovino out of MN is an attempt to make us believe things are improving, normalizing. They are not. They're holding our heads underwater, then letting us have a little oxygen so we lower our guard. The violence still exists. The concentration camps still exist. Children are still missing.

just a reminder that we aren’t even seeing the worst of what is happening in Minneapolis from someone detailed at the Whipple Federal Building yesterday
Eyewitness account:
Good morning,
My name is Brandon Siguenza, and l am a US citizen from Minneapolis. Yesterday, while doing legal observation, ICE stopped their cars to harass my friend and me. They sprayed pepper spray into the vent of our vehicle. We held our hands in the air and told them we were not obstructing, that the car was in park and they were free to drive forward and away. There was no active immigration raid. They returned to their cars, and drove forward a bit, then decided to stop again. They surrounded us, smashed the windows of our car, opened the doors (they were unlocked), ripped my friend and I out of the car and arrested us on charges of obstruction.
I was put in an unmarked SUV, separated from my friend.
As I was put in the back seat an ICE agent tore the whistle off my neck and said "I'll be taking this, I might need it later." My phone was knocked out of my hand while being arrested. As we drove away I asked the driver and the passenger if they wouldn't mind buckling my seatbelt, as they were driving erratically. I was ignored. I asked them if I could have the handcuffs loosened, as I was losing circulation, and was told no. At one point the passenger realized his own driver's license was in the backseat next to mine, and tried to surreptitiously grab it without me seeing it.
We were taken to the Whipple federal building, where I saw dozens of brown people being processed in an unheated garage. I was frisked, told of my charges, and saw buses and vans being prepped. I later learned that these were being filled with detainees and driven to the airport for deportation. As we were led in, I noticed that the building was very busy. I got the impression that one of the 2 agents bringing me around was being trained. At multiple points throughout my stay, government agents were unable to open doors, not sure where they were meant to be going, and overall confused and overwhelmed. They couldn't figure out how to use the building phones, or complai…

Was it “self defense” when an ICE agent repeatedly raped a detained woman? Was it “self defense” when it denied detainees critically needed medical care and killed more than 50 people in detention? Was it “self defense” when it shipped detainees to a foreign torture camp? ICE doesn’t “defend”
