There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

People got real mad at Biden for looking at his watch during a dignified transfer.

Looking forward to the same outrage at Trump for wearing a fucking hat

It's wildly disrespectful for the president to be wearing a baseball cap in this situation.

Some thought a press conference in a brown suit was undignified for a POTUS, you would think this would be a red-line moment for them.

He can’t even present himself with dignity before death. He is so filled with evil.

The baseball cap at the dignified transfer of killed service members is a bit small potatoes in the grand scheme of things but it's such bullshit disregard for military traditions and disrespectful.

This veteran is angry about it.

Although I am a confident
and self-affirming kind of guy,
there are times I need a compliment
so bad that I ache inside.
I don’t think I am the only one -
so I try to compliment other folks
whenever I can.
They may be aching too.

Another horrific and transparent use of the passive voice. You can’t write a headline this bad unless it’s on purpose. It takes too much effort.

I’m currently writing a book about what’s really wrong with #SCOTUS and how to fix it.

Suffice it to say, this ain’t it:

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

Good.

Noem egged ICE on as they arrested innocent children, violated Minnesotans’ rights, and harassed entire communities. She smeared Renee Good and Alex Pretti. I’m glad she’s going but the problem isn’t going away with her. My eye is still on the ball and I’m going to keep fighting for justice.

Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.

Pervert Politics: Trumpism’s Body Obsessions How Republicans went from the party of prudes to the party of perversion.

From Trump to Noem to Hegseth and beyond, we are being governed by a party of perverts who are set on making their own psychosexual derangements into policy

A legal observer in Cold Spring urged us to share that on 2/5, an ICE agent threatened to kill them. The agent purposely stood in front of their car and used the bogus fear of being hit to justify the threat. As the news cycle turns its eye away from MN, we will not forget.

Donate to Keep Diane's Sanctuary Dream Alive, organized by Beth Hyman Update: An extaordinary amount has been happening behind the scenes here at Squirrelwood… Beth Hyman needs your support for Keep Diane's Sanctuary Dream Alive

I've posted the heartbreaking update to the GoFundMe. The town is not agreeing to the HVSPCA using this property as a shelter. This is devastating. I'm at a loss. I budgeted to March 1st transfer. You've always been there for me and D. gofund.me/966bfb70e

For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were.

These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War.
Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35
Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42
Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39
Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20

Start by wiping your mouth of that orange stain.

Then reinstate all of your DEI.

Make amends to the community for the bullshit you pulled, including massive financial investment.

Then quit and install a CEO who isn’t a crony of previous rotten leadership.

You MIGHT get shoppers back.
