Nick @npadiak.bsky.social · 24/09/2026This hed and post would’ve earned me an immediate failure in journalism school. You, the reporter, cannot write that ICE “mistakenly” did something; you can write that an ICE spokesperson *says* the action was a mistake, but you cannot assert this as truth. 010

Nick @npadiak.bsky.social · 18/08/2026These are the kinds of “Yeah, of course” statements that bear repeating—often and as-is. During an argument w/ a MAGA former friend about voter ID, I just kept repeating “Voting should be free.” Any sputtering, contrarian caterwauling or what-abouting was easily defanged by this plain statement. 000

Nick @npadiak.bsky.social · 08/08/2026This is an undeniably true and provable statement and because of that, it can be reasonably inferred, SAT-question-style, that anyone who votes GOP is either racist or is OK with racist policies and leaders. (Does that make the latter group racists? I say yes; not sure of the SAT logic, though.) 010
