Bruce Springsteen has released an anthem for our time … again.

“Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Singing through the bloody mist
Here in our home they killed and roamed
In the winter of ’26...”

The federal agents that executed Alex Pretti are with the US Border Patrol. Minnesota is nearly 300 miles from the nearest international border. That border is Canada.
“Prelimiarily”?
I am convinced that this 2011 image is why Donald Trump ordered the capture of Nicolás Maduro, so that Trump could also have a photo showing him being all presidenty, just like his hero, Barack Obama. It’s the same reason Trump covets having a Nobel Peace Prize to put on his desk.
Today is Sunday January 18 and it has been 11 days since Renee Good was murdered by a federal agent. #RenewGood
We need to talk about this. No, strike that, we need to scream about this. We are now in a completely new paradigm, where armed federal troops have invaded American cities and are gunning down protesters. Other than the scale, what separates us from Iran?
Under normal times, everything would have stopped and a mournful nation would examine the events leading to that moment. That is where we should be, but because we're not, then that reckoning needs to come from the ground up, from us.
A woman was shot to death by a federal agent on the streets of her hometown, a wife and mother driving a minivan, and the only person being held responsible is her widow.
I can't stop thinking about the murder of Renee Good and neither should you. This is not "political". There are not two sides to this issue, as much as Trump and his Confederates would have you believe.
Federal officers are openly assassinating soccer moms on the streets of America. Serious question: where the hell are the “Don’t Tread On Me” folks?
I don’t know what your final legacy will end up being, but if I had to guess, you mainly won’t be remembered.
RIP Scott Adams. Once, you wrote a pretty funny comic strip in the waning days of print, then you put your racism and bigotry on full display, denied science and at the last moment in your life, gambled on Pascal’s wager.
If I claimed that I could do my job only if free from possibility of prosecution, relied on the military to quell perceived opposition, issued orders that had nothing to do with my actual responsibilities, and blamed everything on my predecessor even a year later…
I would not be very good at my job.
AI is good for reimagining:

Sometimes local news is still the best source for breaking
"...to the video of a woman smiling at a masked agent and saying: "That's fine, dude. I'm not mad at you," only to have him shoot her in the face and then spit out "F*cking bitch" after he killed her."

Professor Heather Cox Richardson on the murder of Renee Good: "…the shooter and his protectors are clearly so isolated in their own authoritarian bubble they cannot see how regular Americans would react..."

Time-travelers from the future came back to warn us about Trump but overshot their mark and became TV writers in 1958. It's the only explanation that makes sense.
I started watching a new Christmas movie tonight with Zooey Deschanel and Charlie Cox brought back together by their despondent puppy but about thirty minutes in I died of hyperglycemia.
Also, that whole "socialized medicine" thing where people in other countries can have treatments and not go broke at the same time. Weird!
This teaser for Avengers: Doomsday, features Chris Evans as young Steve Rogers. Presumably, this clip takes place sometime after Cap returned to 1949, so the *SPOILER* he is holding would easily be in their 70s when this film opens in December of 2026. Time travel is confusing.😵💫

Or…! That song inspired him to make admiral. 😏
Every time I hear news reports about Admiral Holse, I scream at the radio that he had to have a berth or he couldn't get to sea. Then I have a cup of tea and a butter pie.

If the job description had made clear that staff meetings consisted of everyone praising me while I take a nap, I might have applied for that position myself! 😴 #SnorerSchnorrer
“He’s got a million things to focus on! When else could he sleep?”
I give it a 6 out of 7 … which also won’t make sense next year
A UOK student claims she's the victim of religious discrimination because a psychology instructor gave her a zero for citing the Bible in her essay: “the lie that there are multiple genders is demonic.”
Way to take a bold stand in your claim that there is only one gender!

Five years ago this week … just in case you need reminding that Trump Confederates are not evil geniuses:

If I were in Congress, I'd be publicly railing against my fellow Democrats for caving and voting with the Republicans while secretly relieved that they're taking the heat.
