Since 2019 I've liked to remind you that we should work to break up not just ICE, but abolish the entire DHS. It's a post-9/11 reactionary agency that needs to be destroyed.

The only two permutations of this that work are: 1) Biden stays in 2) Biden steps aside for Harris but remains in office Everything other permutation of this idea is either a fantasy or propaganda whose discussion is designed to get the Dems to lose the election and usher Trump into power.

So, I've put together this book of common prayer and we've decided it would make more sense if everyone did the same ritual. King Charles is cool with it too. (English Civil War references for the uninitiated)

Respectfully: What's happening to Alex Jones is an undeniable L. He hates it, it's embarrassing, he is losing his property. No one is saying he's gonna be on a street corner wearing a whiskey barrel, but ffs, please stop trying to figure out a way you can insist "No, he won, actually." He didn't.

What's cool about looking back at the history of college protests is that 19 year old students have been right about every single American war, and the esteemed Harvard educated opinion writers at the New York Times have been wrong about every single American war.

I have tried to care about the British royal family. I will politely humor my friends who babble on about them. But I just can’t do it, I read too much about the history of the monarchy when I was younger and there simply aren’t enough arbitrary executions or locking people in towers anymore.
