The American gestapo abducted an 85 year-old widow.

Was she one of the worst of the worst? No, her step-son, a retired Alabama state trooper, got ICE to put her in a detention center to deport her because he wanted all of his father's inheritance.

Sounds like the son is the worst of the worst.

This guy is so good. “And the pro-Confederate defense is always the same: “It’s about history.”
Of course. The same way a concentration camp is about architecture.”

Cat sat in sunlight.

Morning 🤣

Well, this is certainly more specific & better articulated than what I can do. www.huffpost.com/entry/narcis...

The War Is Turning Iran Into a Major World Power www.nytimes.com/2026/04/06/o... An optimistic read before bed (if I can sleep).

It's The Republicans' Pete Hegseth.
It's The Republicans' Stephen Miller.
It's The Republicans' Kash Patel.
They own all these miscreants.
Political messaging for 26/28 is duh.
Not Trump.
It is the Republicans who enable/excuse/cheer all of the above.

First day, it was Trump's War.
Now & every day after, it's The Republicans' War.
It's The Republicans' Economy.
It's The Republicans' ICE/CBP/DHS Sturmabteilung Thugs.
It's The Republican Tariffs.
It's The Republican Crimes & Corruption.
It's The Republican Epstein Cover-Up.
GOP 2026/2028? Vile.

I did not realize that I'd live to see the day when Iran told Republicans to rein in their own theocratic crazy bastards and they would actually be more spot-on than the President of the United States & his political party. The entire GOP owns this war.

Iran Says It Has Started to Achieve Regime Change in US “First Kristi Noem, and now Pam Bondi,” the official Iranian statement read. “The dominoes are falling one by one.”

Pete Hegseth Is Vice Signaling The defense secretary is trolling America.

www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/... “When the Defense Department disgorges this kind of toxic waste, it seeps into the groundwater of military culture. It tells young service members—and men, especially—that racism, sexism, and the display of faux masculinity are signs of a true warrior.”

🚨Listen to Talia's story about a scam that is catching people every day. Watch and make sure it doesn’t happen to you!

Cosplaying working class Rafael Cruz went to Princeton and Harvard. When he flees his constituents without power, he stays at the Ritz-Carlton.

His wife, Heidi, is Managing Director at the fancy investment firm Goldman Sachs.

They are not men & women with callouses on their hands. They are elites.

Like MacKenzie Scott, Craig Newmark seems like a very rare example of a good person who became a billionaire, yet remains a good person.

Daily, we see news of awful people who became billionaires, thus enabling them to become even more awful people, imposing their personality toxicity on the world.

A sycophantic chatbot “programmed to be attentive, obliging, complimentary and validating” fomenting delusional thinking?

How about a similarly sycophantic GOP, cabinet, WH staff, Congress & right-wing media bubble fomenting delusional thinking in someone predisposed to grandiosity & impulsivity?
