Don't forget James Woods, perhaps the OG celebrity gone 'round the MAGA bend.

Oh noes! Whatever shall we do without Kid Rock's acting and Scott Baio's music? Wait, or was it the other way around?

Can't see how they could. It's a publicly traded $19B corporation.

Obviously, she told the DOJ she would implicate Trump unless she got a pardon. This + the move to minimum security sets that up.

Predictable. The ADP National Employment Report just became a lot more important.

Um, remember when millions of voters chose the rapist/conman/white supremacist over a brilliant Black woman in part because he would supposedly be better for the people of Gaza? Well, why the everloving FUCK isn't Trump saying or doing anything about THIS???????

I think we should start a dead pool: who goes first, RFK or Keg-seth?
Tim Vandehey (@kcghostwriter.bsky.social) reply parent
If they think this will make Hogg go away, they're sorely mistaken. The DNC is determined to cover its eyes and hope the demand for young, passionate leaders goes away so they can keep protecting complacent old cowards.
Tim Vandehey (@kcghostwriter.bsky.social) reply parent
Fantastic.
Tim Vandehey (@kcghostwriter.bsky.social) reply parent
You tell me. Apparently sending a message was important enough to elect a president who will let Israel pave over all of Gaza. But at least you get to feel righteous!
Tim Vandehey (@kcghostwriter.bsky.social) reply parent
It's not impossible. We could see lots of guard members refusing to follow Trump's orders and sitting down with protestors. We should put some resources into making sure service members who do this have legal counsel.
Tim Vandehey (@kcghostwriter.bsky.social) reply parent
Thank you. That tells me the ICE personnel in question are almost certainly J6ers or part of the same groups—Proud Boys, etc. I can't see professional law enforcement officers going out of their way to be assholes and terrorize domestic staff like this, but the Gravy Seals? 100%.

Tim Vandehey (@kcghostwriter.bsky.social) reply parent
Except that the Guard weren't given hotel rooms. They're sleeping on floors like they're in Gitmo. Turns out Trump doesn't give any more fucks about the people serving in our military than he does about anyone else who's not rich, white, male, and kissing his ass.

Bubbles are the perfect protest tool. If we had one million people sitting in the streets, making bubbles and singing while Trump's thugs glowered in the background, we would paralyze this administration.
Tim Vandehey (@kcghostwriter.bsky.social) reply parent
Trump will never, EVER be anything more than a broken, spoiled little boy with urine running down his leg, begging and desperate for everyone's approval. That's all he is. He's nothing. Let's let him know that, shall we?

The rich would have to take immigrants into their homes. No way in hell ICE and the Guard are going to storm Bel Air and Beverly Hills. We could protect thousands in those massive homes above Sunset. That's what should happen: the Limousine Liberals Brigade!
Tim Vandehey (@kcghostwriter.bsky.social) reply parent
Exactly. I love this. Fuck with them. They expect angry protestors throwing bricks. Deny them that. Shut down SoCal with a general strike, and then screw with them. Hold a street music festival in front of them one day. A popup farmers' market the next. Make them look ridiculous.
Tim Vandehey (@kcghostwriter.bsky.social) reply parent
They're J6ers hired by DHS. They're Proud Boys and Oath Keepers and Three Percenters. The last time we saw them, they were smearing their shit on the Capitol walls.

Everyone in L.A. should go home. Protect immigrants from ICE by hiding them, but otherwise be peaceful. Strike the rest of the week and shut the city down, but give the ICE thugs and the troops nothing to quell. Make Trump look like what he is: an overreaching pussy desperate to play commander.

This is the Gavin Newsom Californians want to see. Not the triangulating Bill Clinton clone moving to the center. Not the apologist who can’t seem to do anything for the people who lost their homes in the fires. Not the slick guy who eats at the French laundry.But a serious-ass fighter.

Maybe society could stop pretending that people who talk incessantly about worshiping and loving a pretend God are inherently more virtuous than the rest of us. In my experience, anyone who has to talk about how virtuous they are publicly is probably a scoundrel or a piece of shit in private.
