1/ Reading a lot about conditions on Lincoln this morning. This isn't going to be pleasant, so I'm just going to start. First, sewage and water problems are endemic issues. Not just on carriers, but every ship I was on, regardless of class or age, had some sort of issue.

Replying to @radiofreetom.bsky.social

The fact that the two networks that chose to air the "event," CBS and Fox cut away and, no mention of it on Fox this morning should tell anyone all they need to know about last night.

A reminder that as you see photos of those Patriot Front douchebags today, they are marching on a holiday because none of them have anywhere else to be. None of them have friends or family who want them around on a holiday. No one is missing them today. They're already with their only friends.

Some day we'll all regret this & we'll hold hearings & rend garments & pledge "never again" & we'll be just as full of shit as we were last time.

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses? Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards My new column on the camps www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

In 1930s Germany Nazis sent brownshirts into left-leaning areas to trash property and instigate street fights. Then they would tell the press that only they could save Germany from "violent communists" and other dangerous leftists and restore order. I mention this for no reason at all. None at all.

If Xi Jinping invaded Taiwan right now, and toppled the president there, on what grounds would the United States object? Or have any credibility to say anything?

Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

Trump: I demolished the People’s House for my big beautiful ballroom paid for by my rich friends so we can throw lavish parties while millions starve without health care. Tonight… The People: Our turn, motherfucker.

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry began on this day in 1859.

People living under fascism didn’t survive by giving up joy—they protected it. They held onto the things fascism tried to erase: art, friendship, jokes, rituals, language, memory. Not as escapism but as resistance. As proof they were still human. Joy isn’t frivolous under fascism. It’s strategic.
