Just tuning in but I see you’re going to talk with Mike. That’s a good idea. Let me know if you end up meeting more Oregon specific help.

Among the many, many issues here, it's clear that ICE has way too much money to play with.

If you’re going to argue about the execution of America as an idea, then you aren’t understanding the power of internal mythology and you’re part of why conservatives can keep claiming it. The point is the promise of America, and the discussion should be how we can better live up to the promise.

This 4th of July, take a little time to think about how the Left can try to reclaim patriotism from conservatives. Seems like the story of a country that cast off a king and fought a civil war to free the slaves is fertile ground given our present moment.

We miss you. I think you would love the completely new vibe that Shelly and I have brought to Fair Central for the last couple of years. Consider it sometime. Take care.

One thing that annoys me about the Democratic consultant class is how they act like they're brass-knuckle streetfighters and yet don't have the stones to run nonstop ads about Trump's extensive connections to Jeffrey Epstein. It's all true! It's documented! There are photos!

It also makes me feel insane that the rat fuck around Biden’s age and mental capacity is being uncritically spread around by Democrats when Trump is *incredibly obviously* grotesquely mentally incapacitated, in a way that is genuinely terrifying.

If only our news media institutions found "ex-president promises to jail and try opponents for treason if he takes back power" as newsworthy as "unnamed aide said current president gets tired after having a full day of work."

I am an upper-middle class white guy but it consistently blows my mind that the Trump plan to put a permanent ICE contingent every Latino neighborhood (because that's what it would take to deport every illegal immigrant) has garnered almost no coverage. They're aren't kidding, they're gonna try.

Trump gritting through the pussy tape is illustrative here. He refused to drop out & a few weeks later his polls rebounded & the press just dropped it. Obviously the fact that the press likes fascism & wants it to win is a factor but the fact it didn't change anything was EMBARRASSING for them.

At this point my standard response to doomers in my mentions is “fuck you, grow a spine, coward”. Because their shit is just cowardice. They’re scared and hopeless and want everyone else to be as devoid of hope and light as they are. Fuck ‘em.

what left and the right both understand is that we are approaching a moment of constitutional rupture. what the right understands and the left does not is that extraconstitutional violence is not some magic "i win" button. rather the rupture will proceed through the forms and orders of american law.
