    I don't think so. Once I figured out who she was (years later), I googled around and found an interview where she said that back in the day early OKCupid was a great place to meet friends in LA. I coulda been one of those friends, if I only I had known.

    Trump is planning on taking over the DC police department, installing a particularly cantankerous member of the police union to run it (by which we mean exact his revenge on people in the department he doesn't like), order the FBI to patrol the streets, and deploy the National Guard. The pretense for these actions is crime in DC being "out of control" after hitting a 30 year low in the last year of Biden's term.

    They've already got gangs of vest-clad DEA agents wandering down the National Mall: https://bsky.app/profile/drewharwell.com/post/3lw4wywph7c2t

    If you've ever been to DC, you know that the Mall is the most touristy spot in the city. It's got the US Capitol at one end, the Washington Monument at the other, and is flanked by like a dozen museums.

    We call those places “fake news outlets” now, I think.

    But I don’t live in DC, so none of this is anything to be concerned about.

    The National Museum of Trump-never-got-impeached-what-are-you-talking-about. As well as the Don't Measure Air From Space Museum.

    It’s a good thing for these people that none of them have souls, otherwise they might actually feel bad about the atrocities they’re committing.

    We planned to go to DC in two weeks when my daughter goes back to college. I’m no longer certain I want to do that. The sight of the military in and around the city is going to be both depressing and infuriating.

    And I’ve said it before and I’ll continue to say it to their faces- I’m still waiting for the Second Amendment/gun rights pussies to step up. This administration is EXACTLY what that amendment was created to address. Where are all of the tough guys now?

    Those people are currently thinking “Well at least The Man is being racist, so it’s win-lose.”

    Aren't those the same guys joining ICE so that they can beat up brown people?

    The 2A crowd is eating this up, because it's "their side" doing it.


    You know, maybe Democrats demonizing gun owners and trying to ban guns wasn't such a hot idea after all.

    The last administration to enact any sort of gun control was . . . . Trump 1.0. Before that it was Reagan after the assassination attempt.

    No mainstream democrat has suggested taking away everyone’s guns , although some have suggested banning certain kinds of guns. You know who else did that? Reagan.

    The idea that Democrats will take your guns and Republicans will protect them is just as much nonsense as the myth that Democrats spend extravagantly and Republicans don’t.

    Anyone else find it weird that an actual white supremacist is running the DHS social media channels? The accounts are actively quoting white supremacist literature and posting a lot of images that treat American culture and whiteness as the same thing.

    YES. I, FOR ONE, ALSO FIND IT WEIRD.

    God fucking damn it.

    Our out gay Jewish Chief Security Officer is leaving the Agency on Friday. Can't imagine why that job was untenable, suddenly, three weeks after a bomb threat.

    I am begging y'all, please take hurricane and wildfire season seriously. All the rhetoric and bullshit aside, we know what is happening will cause people to die unnecessarily. Just don't let it be you or yours. Get ready, because it's not just the feds that are caught up in all this, as a single county Texas flood can attest.

    I did, by moving to a part of the country that doesn't get hurricanes or wildfires.
