23 year old Ruben Ray Martinez’s last words? “I’m sorry sir”.

ICE shot him 3 times and killed him.

Renee Good’s last words? “It’s ok I’m not mad”.

Alex Pretti’s last words? “Are you ok?”

These are the people DHS calls domestic terrorists. Threats. Aggressors.

Abolish ICE

Avoid being predictable as within story when a reader can move ahead of your prose, they may resent this. Boredom or lack of creativity are reading downers. The reader wants to feel like there are hidden tricks to suss out in the story. Give them more meat.

Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.

Review: A Woman's Guide to True Crime, by Mary Thorson Violence is interesting, but violent people usually aren’t.

Incredibly kind review from Cold Caller Magazine.
“Thorson provides us sixteen different windows onto something beyond the violent and even the violence. Through these fictionalized stories of crime, Thorson gives us a glimpse of the truth.”

He ended up loving it. But confused at first. He's young. 😊

Hegseth just shot down a DHS drone with a laser because he thought it belonged to a Mexican cartel, but let’s let him preside over a radical shift to unrestrained AI on our most advanced weapons systems. What could go wrong?

Today we got another reminder that the legacy media is being taken over by pro-Trump owners or corporate interests that are too afraid to stand up to him.

This draft Trump EO on voting is even nuttier than you imagined. Zeroing out all voter rolls and making everyone re-register in person. Mandatory annual online re-registration. Requiring anyone casting an absentee ballot to find a notary. No dropboxes. All post-election disputes federalized. 😟

Undo the horrible things.

I would, but I never did learn how to add photos in Bluesky. 🥸

An Epstein survivor made serious allegations against President Trump that she says happened when she was a minor — serious enough that the FBI interviewed her multiple times.

Yet, those files have now gone missing. There has never been a bigger cover up in modern American history. End it now.

🚨BREAKING: Donald Trump is plotting to steal the 2026 election and his buddy David Ellison and Bari Weiss just won control of CNN.

Oh gosh, "threatening to."

The only winning move is not to play.

Humans were always the problem. Not automation.

Skynet won't happen: We will see our narcissism reflected in a chat interface and worship a non-sentient computer that flatters us.

We will have LANDRU from Star Trek.

With AI being forced on us everywhere in everything, I ask myself, "Didn't these people in charge see the Terminator movies?!" Now, with this news about AI, war games, and nukes, it's more like, "Did AI see the Terminator movies?"

Yes.
Yes, they did.
And they didn't root for the humans.
