They are arresting U.S. Air Force Officers for free speech and U.S. Olympians for curiosity—but not rich men for raping children with Jeffrey Epstein.
In an age of creeping relativism, a universal moral law still exists. Threatening to end an entire civilization of 90 million people in order to bend a nation’s conduct to your will is grossly morally wrong. It is evil. And we should say this loudly.
“You're thinking of the $175 billion in tariff money all wrong. As if I had the money back in a safe. The money's not here. Your money's in the White House ballroom, the renaming of the Department of Defense, the $10 billion transfer to the Board of Peace, and a hundred other unauthorized actions.”
Pam Bondi is pure trash and an embarrassment to the legal profession and to what used to be a honorable institution - the DOJ.
“The only thing more powerful than hate is love.” MAGA wanted you to boycott this.
Abolish ICE, abolish DHS, redistribute the other agencies, prosecute actual criminals, such as people who commit execution-style murders of Americans in broad daylight.

La Máxima - Junior Caminero. 39 HRs and 94 rbis with a week to go in August and he's barely 22-years old. I can't believe he plays for our team. @RaysBaseball #LaMaxima
This Tampa Girl! Proud of Doechii for rising to denounce Trump and speak the truth. #BET
Bryan Graham@bryanagraham.bsky.social · last yr.With the BET Awards happening in downtown LA, I was wondering who was going to say something first. Doechii really is that girl.
Thinking of this guy today, my "fucking major professor," the late eminent historian James Pickett Jones, Jr. Dr. Jones would have railed against Trump's sorry ass every moment of this term, just as he did during the first and until his final breath in June 2020. He was a beauty. #OldSchool
Having not read as much literary fiction, at least recently, as I should, John Williams's "Stoner" satisfied. It is brilliantly written, sad, uplifting, and sorrowful. How I went this long without reading it is beyond me. Don't let it happen to you.
Actor Walter Goggins may have recently found deserved heightened popularity - SNL, White Lotus, Righteous Gemstones - but to me, he remains Harlan County's elusive bomb-throwing chameleon, Boyd Crowder. #Justified
I read David Joy's Those We Thought We Knew a year ago and was moved. The author's recent appeal on Instagram has reinforced the impression. It is prescient and timely, taken during an era when we are told to ignore the truth and turn from history. It hits! Read it soon. @davidjoy.bsky.social
@gabino.bsky.social What's everyone reading today? Smoke Kings is the shit. Get on it. @jahmalmayfield.bsky.social
Raymond Chandler, letter to a friend, January 1948. Seems relevant beyond the specific Hollywood context.
