Author of #MadeInTaiwanBook, a Vietnam-era coming-of-age tale of 5 years in Asia as a cop in radical and crazy times during a war. Wild & weird sums it all up.

Part 1 of a two-part podcast about my memoir “Made in Taiwan.” In Part 2 the hosts interview me. It drops next Thursday, Sept. 11. I’ll share that, too.

Maybe Republicans should spend more time condemning stuff like this and less time condemning the mayor of New York.

Robert DeNiro: "I hate to say it, but loving our country is starting to sound like an abused spouse saying they love their abuser… And let me just say it, I can't love the country that's led by Donald Trump.” 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Morning!

To the HOA Karen patrol:

I’ve gotten multiple notices telling me to take down my “Pride flag.”

First off…it isn’t a Pride flag.

It’s an altered American flag.

And if we’re banning altered American flags, let’s start with every fake-ass “250th,” “Freedom,” and other politically branded flag hanging all over this neighborhood.

Or is this one different because it reminds you that gay people exist?

I’m not taking it down.

Matter of fact, congratulations.

You annoyed me enough that it’s staying up all year.

Send another notice.

Send ten.

Hell, have your lawyer send one too.

I’ll be happy to explain why selective enforcement is a really stupid game to play.

You wanted a flag fight.

Now you’ve got one.

To Olympian David Hearn’s legal team: I took the following photos and videos of the Reflecting Pool on June 19th - same day that Hearn was arrested - and I saw that the pool sealant/liner was already peeling in multiple places.
I’d be willing to testify.

Respect. And thank you for defending not just Ukraine, but the feee world.

And my apologies that my country is not doing more to help you.

I am officially nominating Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) for the Nobel Peace Prize.

No President in History has ended the same war so many times.

Our Dear Leader has ended the war with Iran at least 38 times by CNN’s count.

No President has ever done this before.

And he is nowhere near finished ending it.

It’s a record worthy of the Nobel committee’s recognition. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

The Freedom 250 rehearsal stage falling apart is the perfect analogy for the Trump administration.

I don't believe people outside of the military understand how significant this is. He is willing to lose his entire future over this. That's bravery like we haven't seen in a long time.

Absolutely chilling words from Jack Smith:

“I think we are facing an attack on the rule of law that is different in kind and scope to anything I've seen in my lifetime".

Remember, this man saw firsthand how corrupt and crooked Trump was.

Last Monday afternoon, something happened—captured by security cameras at the Pine Hollow animal shelter in Bowling Green, Kentucky—that employees say they still cannot watch without crying. The man in the video is Walter. He is fifty-eight years old. Three months ago, he retired after working as a mail carrier for thirty-two years. For decades, his life had been defined by a precise routine: early mornings, delivery routes, familiar streets, familiar faces. Every day had a shape and a purpose. Then, suddenly, retirement arrived. His wife, Denise, later said that the silence in the house began to affect him almost immediately. Walter wasn't unhappy; he was just... adrift, without his usual points of reference. For weeks, he had been visiting a local dog shelter; one day, on his own, he found a dog that was even lonelier than he was, and they formed a bond the likes of which is rarely seen. So, we find ourselves asking: who saved whom?

🚨#BREAKING: A police officer in Phoenix has rented out an ENTIRE 144-SEAT MOVIE THEATER for over 100 middle schoolers after their end-of-year field trip fell through, so they could see Toy Story 5.

When they got there, he realized many couldn't afford popcorn or drinks...

..so he bought EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM popcorn, candy, and a drink too.

His name is Sean Reavies,

For many kids, it was their first time ever inside of a movie theater in their lives.

When the kids asked how they could pay him back, he told them:

"As you get older in life, help other people. As a payback to me. Would you do that? That's all I ask of you."

MORE OF THIS!!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

In 1903, John Muir did something no politician, no senator, no army of lobbyists could do. He took the President of the United States away from his entourage, away from the speeches and the crowds, and led him deep into the heart of Yosemite. Just two men. A campfire. The open sky above Glacier Point.

That night, dusted by fresh snow under the giant Sequoias, Theodore Roosevelt felt something shift inside him. Muir didn't lecture. He just showed him the truth a magnificent wilderness being eaten alive by logging, grazing, and greed. By morning, the President had seen enough.

Roosevelt later told a crowd that sleeping beneath those ancient trees felt like resting inside a temple built by God himself. Within three years, Yosemite Valley was transferred to full federal protection.

One man. No weapon. No army. Just an unshakeable love for the American land and the courage to speak its truth to the most powerful person on earth.

John Muir didn't just save a valley. He saved America's soul.

Father of the National Parks. Guardian of the American Wilderness.

I believe this is a Viktor Orbán moment for the United States.

Look at the polling data, the anti-Republican, anti-Trump sentiment is building exactly the way it did against Orbán before his eventual fall.

We’re going to beat them.

But the real question is what we do after that. How do we actually fix the system?

Here’s where I’m genuinely optimistic.

Trump has given us a complete template.

We now know exactly what needs to be codified and reformed to protect this country from the next miscreant who tries this.

He showed us where all the cracks are.

People are sick and tired of what’s going on right now.

That fatigue is the beginning of the reform.

I know Jack Smith is mentioned as a possible great Attorney General. I'd be EXTREMELY supportive of him. But personally, I'd pick Marc Elias. A generational legal mind who has done more than any human alive to fight for democracy in the courts. A living legend.
