My best friend’s sister, who CBP has been telling us different stories all day about, her phone just got turned back on. She is a US citizen born in Evanston. They said she was never detained at O’Hare after telling us she was, they said she was not transferred to Broadview, and now she's in a detention facility in WI.

nope, definitely planes - i live underneath an approach route (when i fly in sometimes i can literally see my house!) so i'm used to the sound - it's different from the helicopters and follows a different route

vet is doing a few extra tests to see if there's a reason she's gotten so intense about trying to eat things that are bad for cats, AND they apparently forgot to charge me for her distemper vaccine last time, so once again HERE ARE THE VARIOUS PLACES TO BUY THINGS FROM ME: bsky.app/profile/afir...

okay so this seems pretty clear. he knows what it is, he did it on purpose, he chose keeping it over his career with the Marines, if we know this then Susan Collins will also know it, it will 100% come up in the general, let's be done talking about this guy as a real candidate

I think if you’re OK with Graham Platner working for Blackwater, you have officially lost the moral high ground required to yell at anyone else for working for a military contractor or being in the military ever again

Like sorry you gotta choose!

my bandmate is a tattooer and i literally cannot count how many stories he has told me about having to talk customers out of an idea because of how it will be perceived — not just nazi shit, but any ill-considered idea in general. it's a service-based business!

this whole thing is incredibly insulting to everyone's intelligence, but i'll say, from experience, that if you get a tattoo which might have even the slightest hint of a hidden meaning, every rando who thinks they know anything about tattoos is going to mention something to you about it

Two stop signs with a red “ICE” sticker under the word “STOP,” one further away from the other, but due to the magic of forced perspective, it looks like there’s a big stop ice sign and a little baby stop ice sign.

Don’t talk to me or my son ever again.

I do think “Graham Platner was a bartender who personally served some DC pundits and reporters and was known to them” is a pretty big part of the skeleton key to unlocking how he got so much cash and media attention so fast and why they’re so determined to stay all in on him now

The video of the bounty hunter in the fake plumbing van pointing a gun at the protestor nonviolently blocking his car seemed ripe for charges. (I’m assuming it was a bounty hunter.)
