They hate us for our way of life, which is hamburger fifty dollars and die of mumps at casino
The thing that pissed me off the most about that Pod S*mave America clip the other day was that they presented ‘that something needs to be done about the border’ as an indisputable fact that nobody could possibly disagree with.

I disagree with it. I think it’s all imagined & perpetuated by bigots
'Hitler was “awkward,” Dorothy wrote. She had been told he was the epitome of a virile male but she saw him as “soft, hysterical, embarrassed, unattractive.” She couldn’t carry on a conversation w him because he ranted & raved & pounded the table; preferred to dominate a conversation with monologue'
Thank you!
Thank you!
Going to Cahokia with a friend this summer. And recommendations for reading to prepare? Things we can’t miss while we’re there?
He is at this time transporting large Armies of ICE agents to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
Turns out oil companies have little interest in investing in Venezuela given that Maduro's entire political apparatus is still in charge of the country. Oops. www.wsj.com/business/ene...

New to the Court Street Cafe menu: spaghetti with homemade meatballs.
Thank you, Dan Miller, for passing along this sacred ancient text.
My new year’s day project. Feline door defense.
All thoroughbreds have the same birthday so that their ages can be standardized for comparison because of the historical lack of records of actual birthdays. january 1 in the northern hemisphere and august 1 in the southern hemisphere

Home cooked chicken Marsala with homemade baguette
New year’s eve chicken Marsala. It’s fancy, so it goes on the Bistro 312 menu instead of the Court Street Cafe menu.
Goodness, if you were alive in the 80s in Iowa you watched town after town whip-sawed by legacy packing house closings after they had first exacted concessions from the unions, broke them, and drained town coffers to boot. This is a cyclical curse and will never not be.
Something very funny about de santis praising Coolidge for “immigration.” Coolidge’s immigration policy was that people named de santis shouldn’t be allowed to come here bsky.app/profile/anth...
People have historically, and rightfully, seen the evil of Guantanamo, Abu Gharib, and now CECOT for what it is, but I wish more people would also see the evil in our domestic prisons too. How we treat our most vulnerable, including prisoners, really sets the tone for our whole society.
Happy Festivus! Air your grievances!
I'll start - Hallelujah is not a Christmas song and the Pentatonix version is awful.
I think Republicans are overestimating liberals' emotional attachment to Bill Clinton.
Seriously. I just took our garage to the curb and it was miserable.
Wet and foggy morning today in Iowa.
IUPAT President @jimmy-iupat.bsky.social is right:
Temporary Protected Status recipients are rigorously vetted, pay taxes, and do work in critical industries. They are part of our communities and our unions—they deserve respect and protection.
America’s unions will keep fighting for them.
It took years of militant pressure for union managers to recognize & support immigrant rights. Good to see some are standing up to the current repression of immigrant workers. They better, because they're next, alongside Trump's political enemies! Tim Mason, Social Policy in the Third Reich (1993)
