Has anyone seen Dan Bongino recently? Do we have proof of life on that guy...or did he go into some sort of witness protection?

The Republicans that hold Office, are the same that burn crosses.

There is now a 100% chance Trump will never end the war with Iran. Every downed aircraft and damaged asset makes him look weaker and weaker.

Not every Republican is a pedophile, but every pedophile is flocking (or has flocked) to the Republican party...

DHS is a human trafficking organization. The agents traffic for others, and themselves.

Now that the U.S. has had multiple aircraft hit over Iranian airspace...it’s safe to assume we will not be out of the region for another 20+ years...

Quick reminder - Shady Vance is a puppet of Peter Thiel

If your idea of 'supporting the troops' is to blindly send them to their deaths on the orders of a pedophile and his protectors...then you don't support the troops, you support the pedo.

What do an F-15, A-10, and 2 Blackhawk helicopters have in common?

They were all downed or damaged by the non-existent air defense systems in Iran.

Don't want our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren to foot the bill for fascism? Reclaim all of the wealth being hoarded by the Epstein Class and return it to the people.

That Moment You Never Forget #substack #shorts

The toxicity of no self-reflection #substack #shorts

Intelligent Masculinity | With Forrest Page “It was a very unique spot. You could tell that they’ve been through something, some kind of trauma. There’s almost a look to trauma that I deal with a lot in my day job that you can usually see. But at the same time it was conflict-free. An event with thousands upon thousands of people in a small parking lot, shoved together in front of this space, and I just don’t recall conflict. I don’t recall yelling, anger, anyone having any sort of exchange that wasn’t positive.” ~ Forrest Page ~ Masculinity In Review Forrest Page walked into the George Floyd Memorial in Minneapolis carrying a camera and left carrying something he wasn’t expecting: clarity about what community actually looks like when it’s built to last. For 18 years, he’s been a teacher in Michigan - and is currently a physical education teacher at a Juvenial Detention Center. For decades, he’s been a father, a photographer, and a quiet radical. In this discussion, Nick and Forrest dig into what that means — through the work of raising kids, showing up to events, and building institutions that don’t replicate the failures of the men who came before. The spine of this conversation is privilege and responsibility. Forrest grew up in a home where his father chose teaching over money, where his mother held the household together while carrying an impossible load, where being “good” wasn’t optional. He internalized early that being a man meant sacrifice for others and willingness to grow when challenged. Those lessons shape everything: his work with Valor Media, his approach to parenting four children through a time of political violence, his quiet presence at events where the community is still processing collective trauma. Forrest doesn’t perform activism. He lives it — and he’s teaching his kids - both at home and as a teacher - to do the same without pretense or moral grandstanding. The Abolish ICE event forced Forrest to reckon with something deeper: the power of a community that has learned to hold space for trauma while refusing to reproduce violence. The thousands of people gathered in that parking lot had come through George Floyd’s murder, the uprisings, the backlash, and the ongoing occupation of their city by federal agents. Instead of fracturing, they held. Instead of cycling violence, they created something rare — a space where anger and joy existed at the same time, where people who had been traumatized by the state could still laugh, still sing, still recognize each other as human. That’s what Forrest photographed. That’s what changed him. But this conversation isn’t sentimental. Forrest is frank about what he can and can’t control as a white parent, about the limits of being nice, about the weight of carrying four kids through a moment when democracy itself is contested. He talks about traveling with his family knowing that ICE agents are at airports, knowing he has options that immigrant families don’t have, and committing anyway to being present — to using his privilege as a tool rather than a shield. That’s the work of intelligent masculinity: not the fantasy of standing apart from power, but the harder practice of standing in it and redirecting it toward what the community actually needs. Forrest’s father modeled this for him — a man who stepped off the ladder in his late twenties, took a pay cut, worked nights at a pizza place while going to school during the day, and chose to spend decades teaching kids in public schools. His mother modeled something equally important: the work of caring for a household, making good people happen, doing the invisible labor that allows other people’s dreams to matter. Forrest inherited a practice, not a checklist. And he’s spending his life teaching it — in a classroom, at an event, to his kids, to whoever is paying attention. The question at the heart of intelligent masculinity is simple but relentless: What are you willing to sacrifice for something larger than yourself? Forrest’s answer isn’t heroic. It’s domestic. It’s the disciplined work of choosing people over status, growth over ego, and community over the comfort of being right. Forrest Page — teacher, father, photographer, and activist — shows up to this conversation without performance and without pretense, and expands the series’ argument that the most durable form of masculinity is the kind built quietly, across decades, in service of people who are counting on you. ~ Nick Paro Support Our Guests Other Work Take a moment to follow and scubscribe to Forrest’s other platforms: * Valor Media Network * Forrest Page Photography Actions You Can Take * Check out the new: Sick of this Shop! * Check out the new network and affiliate calendar: BroadBanner Submit questions, feedback, and artwork for Notes of the Week with Nick and Walter: * Sick of this Shit Community Comment Form Call your public servants on important issues: * 5calls.org Join the efforts to unmask law enforcement and de-flock the States: * deflock.me Service members can get un-biased information on legal vs illegal orders: * Orders Project * Reach out on Signal: @TheOrdersProject.76 Learn empathy forward, human centered, experiment based Leadership & Growth Courses for Higher Ed & Non-Profit Professionals: * B.

ICE protects pedophiles? #substack #shorts

Notes of the Week | E27 - Supremacy As Policy Notes In Review Walter Rhein and I welcomed former U.S. Border Patrol Senior Agent and author Jenn Budd to dissect how the legal and institutional architecture of CBP, ICE, and DHS protects Agents who commit violence, sexual assault, and murder — as the deliberate design. Jenn traced the through-line from internal cover-up teams called Critical Incident Teams (CITs) — now rebranded as CBP's Office of Professional Responsibility — to the ongoing obstruction of state investigations into the shootings of Alex Petti and Renee Nicole Good, connecting these cases to the broader pattern of federal agencies blocking accountability through selective jurisdiction. The conversation shifted from exposé to strategy: Jenn announced her forthcoming ICE primer ICE: What Everyone Needs to Know and explained her pivot from documenting individual agent misconduct to targeting the policy and legal frameworks that make accountability structurally impossible — specifically the Federal Tort Claims Act, which effectively bars civil suits against federal agents for assault and battery. Walter's note landed the episode's most disarming gut-punch: his seventh-grade daughter, told that the U.S. is the only country to have dropped nuclear bombs on civilians, responded, "Well, who else would it be, dad?" — a moment the panel read as proof that the next generation already sees through the indoctrination. The discussion closed with a clear call: film federal agents when you can, primary spineless Democrats, support independent media, and show up in community — because peaceful, visible resistance is both strategically superior and the only thing authoritarian systems can't easily justify crushing.

Time For Meditation | Seascapes Welcome to our Seascapes meditation. Join me by taking a deep breath in through your nose and slowly exhale out through your mouth. Take another deep breath in and slowly exhale out. One more deep breath in and slowly exhale out. Imagine… you are sitting on a quiet beach with your feet nestled in the soft brown sand. You feel the warmth of the sun on your skin and hear the ocean waves dancing with the shore. The seagulls welcome your presence. Notice the gentle ocean rhythm, the ebb and flow of the tide. You are part of this rhythm. Notice the vivid blue sky and the sunlight glistening off the water. Feel the calm wash all over you. You are safe in this moment. Give your body permission to soften. As you continue this journey, gently adjust your sail and head into the wind’s flowallowing the ocean breeze to take away all your worries or stress. Allow yourself just to be. There are no meetings here, no deadlines, only peace and calm. Take another deep breath in and slowly exhale out. Notice your feet back in the warm, brown sand. The sky is now painted a pale orange and yellow as the sun sets in the distance. Take this feeling of calm with you in the remaining part of your day and in the weeks ahead. You can always return to this space whenever you need. ~ Beth Cruz Time For Notes * Check out the new: Sick of this Shop! * Check out the new network and affiliate calendar: BroadBanner Learn new skills: * B.
