There was a video on Insta yesterday of a clean cut Nazi in a white button down and khaki pants proselytizing on a NYC train. In any other timeline this MFer would have gotten his lights knocked out. In *this* timeline?? Folks were silently listening to him like he was selling Amway and they were considering signing up. A young Black guy even said, Well I think everyone has to make up their own mind. The ONLY person who was a speedbump to the Nazi's coercion was a woman yelling that he w...

Also, I hope the fucking #Cornell7 never know a moment's fucking peace ever again. Fuck them. Ruin their nascent careers. Humiliate and shun their families. They raised violent sexual predators. I hope they become nothing but desolate.

The story of Bear 610 during #FatBearWeek made me cry just now. Abandoned by her mother, injured, not adopted, and survived on her own against all odds, 610 now has two cubs of her own and is protecting them and keeping them safe. I might be latently ovulating or just really emotional because everything is terrible.

Some of y'all are main characters in Nordic noir. Just negative and bleak AF. Damn. If I was leading a team of resistance fighters I'd kick you out. 'We're doomed and there's no end in sight' is NOT how you fight the power. Jesus christ. Have some fucking grit and hope, for fuck sake.

ICE is deliberately digitally disappearing thousands of detainees to escape oversight and accountability. When this is over and all these bastards are held to account, the fact they have digitally ERASED our neighbors and community members so they are denied their constitutional rights is *criminal.* HOW will families reunite? How will we know how many people have lost lives, livelihoods, homes, family members? This fucking administration is corrupt and morally bankrupt to its core -- everyon...

Yesterday I wrote a FAQ for folks in the kinque community on how to anticipate their ballot being frakked with by the postal service and the multiple different ways ordinary voters can get their ballot depending on their state. If there's enough interest, I'll find a way to share it publicly so folks can share widely. It's up to us! #voting #BlackMastodon #BlackFedi

Wowww. Lookit what they did to the Old Post Office. And coming in from ORD last night/this morning, I saw they did something to the old Morton Salt building too. I really dig how Chicago redevelops its big old buildings. #Chicago https://post433.com/

I have found my Gabapentin limit. I used to take 5/day. Then I stepped down to 3 for 2+ years. Then, earlier this year, I dropped down to 2. This summer, I&#39;ve gone down to 1. This week, the nerve pain came back in sharp twinges. So 2 it is.

A new cozy mystery series: The SCOTUS Murders - It&#39;s 70 days before a major election and a controversial right wing justice who has handed the dictatorial President several victories is found dead in his offices from choking on a too-large throat lozenge. Several days later, another justice on his way to a right wing podcast recording to brag about his new gift from a super donor has a near miss with a black-robed figure on a scooter on K Street. DC SCOTUS watcher and NPR corresponden...

Do want to see how janky Benson looks in his busted down hand-mended muzzle? I mean, he&#39;s a visual deterrent, right? You wouldn&#39;t walk up on a woman with this dog at her side. #BensonUpdate #Schmoopie

And none of this would be possible without collaborators -- like cops, sheriffs, junior DAs, fed attorneys, and other folks in the court system snitching on their neighbors and innocent people coming through the courts keeping their appointments. Congrats, snitch a$$ bishes. https://apnews.com/article/border-immigration-customs-enforcement-data-statistics-f07f56a34bda225e5afa356781ac1740

When Benson wakes me up it&#39;s usually a sign of imminent explosive poo. So when he did it tonight I grumbled but hustled. He froze when he hit the air. He freaked out that it was dark. So we went back inside. And tried again. And now we&#39;re trying again. I&#39;m CRANKY.

Whoever is advising the Dems... I would certainly be coordinating and quickly rolling out friendly messengers to make and post videos thanking the long-deployed service members of the USS Lincoln for their extraordinary deployment, to say a few additional words about how a country is measured by how they treat those who make the biggest sacrifices, and saying something like 'We have your back. Especially when those who should, don't.' Past Commanders in Chief. Retired Admirals. Hig...

Workers are struggling to get by. The government should be using every tool to fight discrimination that costs people jobs and pay. Instead, the EEOC is bent on erasing the data that proves discrimination exists. (Surprise.) Boost or take action and submit a comment of your own to the EEOC. https://equalrights.quorum.us/campaign/166996/

New obssession: *Diarra from Detroit* If you took Nancy Drew and the Scooby Doo gang, made her Black, put her in Detroit, made her an elder Millennial, gave her an insatiable desire to investigate things, added a hot boyfriend with ptsd from being kidnapped as a child, and tossed in some noir touches you'd get this show.

WHYYYY has no enterprising and 'fuck-it' journalist camped out in the bushes waiting to get a shot of this man supposedly being 'discharged'?

AIPAC//Izzy desperately wishes none of us saw what we saw. Sadly, they can eff off because we DID. We saw it. We ARE seeing it. They may have succeeded in cutting the balls off the DNC, the GOP, the ICC, the UN, the US, Germany, and the UK but they can't get all of us. I wish #Abdul4Senate EVERY success in his road to the Senate.

Benson begged to have a walk. We go outside. He pees. He sniffs. He immediately nopes out after half a block. We turned back and so here we are. On the stairs enjoying the breeze until he feels spiritually motivated to amble upstairs or our dinner arrives. (I felt like Filipino food from FOB tonight.) #BensonUpdate #friday
