Becoming the Joker by visiting a Danish shopping area in a small city that would be illegal to build in Saint Paul. … there was a goddamned woodshop, record store, taco joint and stage all next to one another.

you quite simply love to see it
And yet, as he ringleads Trump’s vengeance campaigns, Miller actively fears retribution will one day come for him. In his more honest moments, he has told confidants about how afraid he is that liberals will try to throw him in prison after Trump is out of power, even if Trump preemptively pardons him, which will almost certainly happen.In these private, candid moments, Miller has told others that he’s convinced Democrats are going to be coming after him, his family, and his colleagues maybe for the rest of his days. Miller has talked about civil lawsuits, and Capitol Hill investigations and subpoenas – but perhaps the thing that stands tallest in his mind is local and state prosecutors who he says want to put him in a “prison cell.” Federal pardons can make it harder to prosecute former U.S. appointees locally, but such clemency does not preempt local and state prosecutions and investigations in the same way that it would federal probes.Miller has also privately said he’s worried that Democratic members of a future federal administration may try to get creative, and hunt for ways to get around Trump’s federal clemency actions. (Trump himself, thanks to his far-right pals on the Supreme Court, enjoys an expanded protection of presidential immunity; his underlings, however, don’t enjoy the same privileges… at least not yet!) Miller has also lamented the possibility that liberals will be filing lawsuits against him for years, if not decades, and complained about how the left will try to use “lawfare” to bleed him and his wife – former Trump official and current right-wing lifestyle podcaster Katie Miller – dry financially. (The Millers have a lot of money between them, and they lead at times extravagant lives and enjoy projecting an image of being some of the nation’s top MAGA socialites.)

This week's column is about the misguided insistence on pretending that sports is some safe haven from reality outside of its stadiums, a neutral area where politics don't exist. Column @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/football/202...

MLS’s political speech policy is untenable – just ask Austin FC fans
The protests around an anti-ICE T-shirt show that politics can never be separated from sports, especially now

Found my way to a cocktail bar that served mainly aquavit takes on standards and it was great. Also talking to european service industry folks is just a different world. Imagine being able to bartend with health insurance & a future pension.

I’m outraged by this attack on Representative Omar. Trump and his DOJ have a bizarre obsession with tearing down Minnesota, our leaders and our communities. This latest action, even as voting has already started in Minnesota, is a transparent attempt to interfere in our elections.

I went to a cocktail bar in Copenhagen that spins vinyl exclusively and only serves premixed cocktails, so as not to make too much noise to interrupt the music. It was like achingly hip, and the cocktails were decent. But also the perfect type of place for vacation

At the last Austin FC home game, an Austin FC supporter was tossed from the stadium for wearing an Abolish ICE shirt, days after ICE shot a man in Austin a couple miles from the stadium. Supporter groups have tried to have a dialogue with the FO, but are unsatisfied. So tonight…
