Us Weirdos always knew they'd come for us Weirdos because they've always been coming for us. Now they're just saying it loud & in public & in power. What fringe/marginalized group has been surprised by any fucking thing we've witnessed the last decade? Why do you think it's us Weirdos out there?

For years, Monet feared eye surgery more than blindness. 🏥 At age 82, cataracts had clouded his vision so badly that he finally agreed to operations. The surgery restored much of his sight—but left him seeing the world with a bluish tint.

No law enforcement officer operating in Connecticut—federal, state, or local—can wear a mask on duty. ICE and CBP agents have to show their faces and badges. And when an officer assaults someone recording them, commits false imprisonment, false arrest, or malicious prosecution, they lose immunity.

substack.comConnecticut Just Told Masked ICE Agents to Show Their FacesSB00397 bars masks on every officer in the state, forces feds to show badges, and opens state courts to sue them. A first in the country.

To everyone who demanded that Dems fly back to DC to push for impeachment, 25th and/or a war powers vote: They did. Republicans blocked it. If you're not praising them today just as loudly as you were ripping on them a couple of days ago, guess what?
