Pretti clearly did not brandish his gun. Which means the government is saying he was killed for legally exercising his right to carry.
It’s as clear-cut a violation of the Second Amendment as I can possibly imagine. And we’re about to see the bulk of the gun rights crowd defend his murder.
I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.
If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.
Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.
All hail Saint David on the 10th anniversary of his passing. Feels like we need his intercession now more than ever as the world accelerates into decay. In any case, I’m headed to Treasure Club in NYC to drink a fancy cocktail and hear my bandmate Frank DJ his final all-vinyl Bowie night.

My Goodreads 2025 "Year in Books." Was pleased to note I upped my count from 25 books read last year to 43 this year.
MAGA faithful reading his Rob Reiner reflections
No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.
I was at this show. Me and my friends were high school seniors and huge Ramones fans. This was the third time we’d seen them that year. Only saw The B-52’s this once.

Give me a reality check here folks. Is it no longer considered obnoxious and lacking in courtesy to play music or videos out loud on your phone without headphones, in a place like a doctor’s office waiting room?
I doubt I have very much in common with politically, but this is freaking beautiful. Go Massie.
A scumbag. Also his art always sucked.
I did OK I think.

I was there
I proudly participated in tonight’s protest outside Huntington Town Hall against this month’s outrageous election fraud. My sign made it on to News12.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

More anachronistic boring colorless leather shit. Bronze Age Mediterranean warriors were blazing with color! I hate this.
That would be way too mild an epithet should I ever have this opportunity. A truly evil dipshit.
Enjoying a nice glass of prosecco, sitting alone at the tiniest table known to mankind at Song e Napule, my favorite Italian spot in NYC. Makes me miss riding my Vespa!
The important thing is not whether the Trump performing sexual favors for Bill Clinton thing is true. The important thing is that we all pretend it’s true, and that someone asks Trump about it every day.
Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:
