Hitting the road later this month with @cryptsofgolgotha for a west coast tour. Hoping to catch up with friends in NM, AZ, CA, and Oregon. Let me know if you’re down for a hang.

Don't sleep on Widow's Bay. The writing, the acting, the horror and humor, love it.

I often forget that BlueSky exists and then remember to check back in every three months or so. So, hello again.

Every time you give a billionaire a microphone, they use it to tell you that there's no such thing as an ethical billionaire.

All the big Hollywood stars in super awful commercials: recession indicator.

The Bud Light commercial was giving “mayoral party in Eddington” vibes.

Gotta be wild to be a football fan who is afraid of chemtrails from the flyover.

Especially funny bit to have football legends walk out on stage while Green Day played “American Idiot.” Should have had them spell out CTE as well, but that might have been too on the nose.

I heard that TPUSA originally wanted to call their halftime show Burning Klan.

In this late capitalism, billionaire-era, it seems like the game plan is to gut every industry, leave everyone jobless, and force us all into a new era of feudalism.

I went to Minneapolis last week. What I saw was horrifying and inspiring in equal measure. Gift link to my latest column: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/o...

From now on I’m declining social invitations like I’m a foundation who is no longer gonna fund your organization: “sorry, but this event no longer lines up with my recreational priorities. Feel free to submit an invitation in the next invitation cycle.”

Instead of writing a year-end book, music, or movie list, I think we should annually share a year-end enemies list.

You all have that one friend – be honest, it’s a guy – who very confidently gives you the wrong or vague answers to most(all?) questions and inquiries because he usually doesn’t know what he’s talking about. That is what Google AI summary is like.

Pro-tip: this winter, use the seat warmers in your car to keep your fresh tamales warm on the drive home.

This never got off the ground last year, but starting earlier this year: Denver-based folks - Looking to snap pics of Latinx families and our holiday meal traditions(making tamales, ponche navideño, coquito, buñuelos, making cookies, etc.) hit me up if you’re interested.

Important lesson of last night's elections: progressives won across the country because they didn't water down their message and their values.

I feel bad for all the folks who were unable to flush their Wi-Fi-connected toilets because of the AWS outage.

“This is the first time I’ve seen so many pregnant people in [ICE] detention,” said Tania Wolf, the Southeast advocacy manager at the National Immigration Project. interc.pt/48WWErA

Aging gracefully into the thrift store old guy rummaging through random wires and electronics.

Traffic is bad this morning, but not in a “the rapture happened and I have to dodge cars and fight for my life” way. Bummer.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot. one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

Always good to see the homie, @gustavoarellano.bsky.social

The way folks are lifting Charlie Kirk up like he was MLK Jr. is wild. He was a transphobe and misogynistic racist who didn’t see so many as human, as deserving of love or grace, of deserving of their rights.

Liking your own social media posts: morally gray behavior. Liking your own LinkedIn posts: morally depraved behavior.

Writing Superman fanfic about another being from Krypton by the name of Dean Cain who doesn't have any super powers other than being the stupidest Kryptonian to survive the planet exploding and leverages that talent to become a Lex Luthor bootlicker.

DACA Isn’t Enough, We Need Stronger Protections from ICE

DENVER — On July 4th, I was out picking up tortillas for a family barbecue when I saw two ICE vans pull up and take someone away. My heart stopped. I felt angry and helpless. I wanted to do something,...

For this week’s newsletter I wrote about the story in the quote skeet below and how it is a sobering reminder that for many, Latinos will never be truly American www.latimes.com/delos/newsle...

Commentary: For some, Latinos will never be truly American

A wrongful eviction lawsuit turned nasty after an attorney involved suggested the plaintiff and her family could be detained by ICE and deported.

Latino tenants sued their landlord. A lawyer told them they would be 'picked up by ICE.'

Sure, America is a Christian country, it's just that the particular brand of Christianity that people practice here has a basis in genocide, lying, in theft, in oppression, in capitalism, in upholding power structures. Maybe the American brand of Christianity isn't Christianity?
