Stop what you’re doing and read this whistleblower report. ICE has been training its agents that they don’t need a judicial warrant to break down your door - a blatant violation of the 4th Amendment. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

I don’t have a lot of time so quick thread on exactly WHY what I posted about today is so bad. TLDR: it’s like the most convoluted fucked up incestuous polycule I’ve ever heard of. 🥴🥴🥴 First who is everybody? Scott Bessent is the Secretary of the Treasury so cabinet member from hedge fund land.

“Who’s showing more spine now, eh? Some retired teacher with a vocabulary, shouting down people in power? Or CONGRESSMAN JACK BERGMAN (MI-1), who can’t bring himself to issue a statement about the President’s coverup of a notorious pedophilia ring in which he himself is implicated?” Fun times.

Called my damned congressthing (this is probs about the 50th call since Inauguration Day). Confrontational all around. Called for his resignation for “protecting pedophiles”. Called him a coward for never having in-person townhalls. Made the staffer READ BACK TO ME all my grievances.

A detail from a land-/skyscape I’m working on, as a gift to some lovely vineyard folk we’ve met lately. Just really decent, kind folk, who have extended their kindness and friendship to me, yes, but to my elderly father as well. Oil and lapis lazuli on tinted gesso ground

Detail of an oil painting I’ve been working on. Lavish transparent blues (real lapis lazuli!) to the left, interacting with opaque earth tones on the right. Works from a distance but strangely not so much up close? Brainstorming that as we speak

S: “I’ll give Mr. Bergman your message.” Me: “Let me hear you read the whole message back to me.” S: “[muttering] …moral DEFICIT…” Me: “May I spell DERELICT for you?” [yes, I know earlier in the thread I said “decrepit”, but I really did say “derelict”] Fuck these people very very much

S: “I’ll give him your message.” Me: “Read the message back to me please?” S: “You want him to resign.” Me: “Are you intentionally editing my ‘message’ to avoid mentioning that I think Bergman’s a coward and a moral decrepit for shielding a pedophile President from accountability?”

David Otto Scaer @davidottoscaer.bsky.social · 30/07/2025

Staffer: “Okay, I’ll let Mr. Bergman know your message.” Me: “…which is?” S: “That you want him to resign.” Me: “Were you going to tell him the rest of the message? How Bergman is a moral derelict if he can’t muster a statement holding a pedophile President to account?”

Yesterday’s call to do-nothing CongressThing Jack Bergman (Michigan 1st congressional). Ugly. Me: “Just a quick question: does Mr. Bergman still support this President?” Staffer: “Yes he does.” Me: “Then I must insist on Mr. Bergman’s resignation. He just whiffed the easiest of slow/

I also made a point to ask both offices when we can expect an in-person townhall, where Bergman can defend his vote in person? Both offices explained that they “don’t control/have access to his calendar”. Translation: we will _never_ be allowed an actual in-person appearance of Mr. Jack Bergman
