Until they find, I duuno, 1000 real voters (not DC insiders, pollsters, lobbyist, media types) who want Rahm Emanuel to run for president how about no stories or interviews? The legacy media look like morons slobering over him.

True dat! I don't dislike him but when he was mayor ✶✶✶✶, he DID piss me off. His drivers regularly blew stop lights while driving him around. I know that that sounds like nothing & it probably is, but it just got to me. I think there's better people than that who can be president. 🇺🇸💙☠️

Watch how much federal emergency aid (from El Niño disasters next year) gets _not_ sent to red states that swing blue this year. Trump does not take disloyalty well.

Good news: Wilber Garces Perez finally had surgery to remove the bullet that was in his back for 11 days. It took far too long, and it's more proof of ICE cruelty. But we kept up the pressure, and Wilber got the care he needed. Speaking up for our neighbors works.

OpenAI is tempting federal prison sentences & the corporate death penalty for any more of this invasive horseshit. "An [AI Agent] must not make management decisions because an [AI Agent] is not accountable." No more "Oops, we crimed, tee-hee" from sloppy human management. It's garbage.

The ICE standing orders: the use of extreme brutality and violence is always appropriate when confronting a person with dark-colored skin, even if he's a US citizen. That was on full display in the Evanston assault on a citizen making his way to a local drugstore. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

"Trump cheats in every aspect of his life. He cheated on his taxes & wives. He cheated his way out of military service & into the WH. He cheated contractors & donors who made contributions to his now-banned charity. And he cheats at the sport that distinctly relies upon personal integrity: golf."
