Lifelong nerd and liberal. I’m happily married, not looking for a side piece, GRQ scheme, bitcoin hustle or any flavor of life coaching, so if that’s what you’re pushing, don’t DM me.

I love how they're implying he insulted Natalie Harp by saying that their boss wants to travel with her. Not that she wants to travel with him, although the fawning letters she's written would support that. Ossoff just said he wants to travel with her.

Contrast that with infrastructure projects that Biden targeted especially for Red states because "they need it most". They didn't vote for him. He cared about jobs and improvements for them anyway. He also didn't hold up FEMA in NC, FL, anywhere. Remember when we had a president for ALL of us?

“Pro-life” House fascist republican Kat Cammack tried to hide her life threatening pregnancy complication in 2024 where she needed an abortion in order to survive. So abortion healthcare services are okay for them when they need it, but not everyone else? Evil hypocrites.

⚠️ WARNING: ICE abducted a pet owner, leaving two dogs to starve for a week. Only the landlord saved them. This isn't a mistake; it’s a sickening pattern. When agencies treat people as disposable, innocent lives become collateral. This cruelty must end.

Markwayne Mullin: "We are currently drawing up plans to say, listen, in these sanctuary cities where the local radical left Democrats aren't allowing us to do our job and enforce federal laws, then we shouldn't be processing international flights into their cities."

The Voting Rights Act is essentially dead and it’s quite possible that we will, like when a similar SCOTUS gutted civil rights at the fall of Reconstruction, see a disappearance of much of the Black congressional representation, especially in the most heavily Black states, which are in the South.

From a post: “Told my wife to have dinner ready by 6 or I'll obliterate her entire civilization. So anyway, she now charges me a fee to use the bathroom that used to be free, and I didn't get any dinner, but I'm pretty sure I won that exchange.”

If you haven’t heard about it yet, the youths are super into IRL human interactions, no AI, and “physical media” (vinyl! DVDs! tapes!) right now and it’s glorious. Like there are 20yo influencers that just read old paper books and talk about feelings.

Andrea Grimes@andreagrimes.com

This weekend I gave a presentation to a group of mostly college-aged folks and had a little line at the beginning of my slides that described it as an "AI-free presentation made by a human, for humans" and I had to pause for clapping at that part you love to see it

Okay this isn’t really happening anymore so I can tell you how l had “internal ICE sources”: the 3000 very stir-crazy ICE agents were all going wild on Minneapolis Tinder. Local girls would match with them and string them along for intel. They loved to brag about what they were doing all day

Will said he’s in communication with ICE, who are federal agents, which is frankly just as bad.

Trump went from making insane genocidal threats this morning to hyping the “golden age” of Iran hours later, and he received no concessions in between. He’s an absolute basket case who needs to be removed from power before he follows through on one of his mass murder fantasies.

New DHS Secy Markwayne Mullin, in an interview with Bret Baier, says he wants to consider pulling Customs out of international airports in “sanctuary cities,” which would effectively shut down a huge amount of international travel to the U.S. LA, NYC, BOS, SF, Chi, SEA, Miami, DEN, Phil, SD….

Read the thread.

Given Trump’s Easter threats to carry out new war crimes in Iran, we should think one or two steps ahead about a coup attempt connected to the war. And then deter it. (1/17)

- Iran won’t close the Strait because that would be very bad for them - we knew they would close it, I expected oil prices to be worse - the strait will open itself - we don’t use it, allies should open it - OPEN THE STRAIT RIGHT NOW OR WE’LL DESTROY YOUR POWER PLANTS

ICE is buying industrial warehouses across the U.S. and converting them into mass detention facilities often without notifying local officials. A thread on the "ICE Detention Reengineering Initiative" and what it means. 🧵

Man can't talk about anything without it sounding like he's describing sexual assault.

Trump: "I do believe I'll be having the honor of taking Cuba. That's a big honor. Taking Cuba in some form. I think I can do anything I want with it, if you want to know the truth."

Sundowning Grandpa McBefuddlepants still thinks that asylum seekers means they were from insane asylums.

Trump: "They emptied their mental institutions. They emptied their insane asylums. That's a step above a mental institution. They emptied them all right into our country."

So just magical thinking then? Tots and pears? "We have a goal, but it's not our job to see that it's achieved." Sure, that makes a helluva lotta sense.

LINDSEY GRAHAM: Our goal is to make sure Iran cannot become again the largest state sponsor of terrorism. WELKER: Does the the president have a plan to guarantee that happens? GRAHAM: No. It's not his job.
