They've been taking over for years, it's more a defensive action.

What the fuck is “preemptive retaliatory de-escalation”???

Every day killing people in Iran could have been 3 days of SNAP.

Every bomb we drop is a huge pile of money we could have used to help humans. A $35 million fighter jet is money that would be transformational for a rehab clinic or food bank.

Polymarket to allow bets on the name of the new terrorist organization spawned by the war in Iran.

This is the FBI 302 in which a woman recounts her accusation that Epstein lulled her with the promise of a babysitting job only to drug and rape her. She says he tried to get her to recruit other girls her age. (She was 13 or 14).

This is child abuse at scale. I am ashamed to live in a country that treats children like this.

We could have this kind of leadership in every US city, folks. I'm here for it!

It is gross, and raises a million questions. If they say they are going to deport people, why would they need warehouses to store people??? If they aren't planning to deport them, then what are they planning to do with them? If they are in a warehouse instead of at home working, won't...

god this. and consider it in context of lyon's comment that he wants ICE to deport ppl like amazon prime.

NEW: The “centrist” Abundance think tank pushing Democrats toward deregulation is run by a registered corporate lobbyist for OpenAI, Larry Ellison’s Oracle, and a crypto think tank.

Is Discord shooting itself in the foot? Why? What good will it do?

‘He’s not the same’: Father of Liam Conejo Ramos says 5-year-old continues to suffer Some people thought they say the 5-year-old during the Super Bowl halftime show. But Liam is still in hiding with his family, after he and his father were detained and then released from a Texas deten...

Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family.

“He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

It could be really bad for Discord if Californians contact the office of the Attorney General to report the potential violations of CCPA and CALOPPA citing the recent breach from a few months back where 1.5tb of user data and millions of IDs were leaked, but who can say for sure?

Prosecutors Began Investigating Renee Good’s Killing. Washington Told Them to Stop.

Kash Patel stopped FBI agents from investigating Renee Good’s killing because the findings might’ve contradicted their narrative that she was a “domestic terrorist.”

We cannot trust a word coming out of this Admin.

DHS must allow Minnesotan authorities to investigate, NOW.

AI remixes old ideas. Eventually it gets cheaper & better at it than humans. What next? Everything published becomes AI, right? Good humans will start making bespoke stuff nobody ever sees but the client.

What will the next gen of AI learn from? Remixes. Nothing new will ever be made after that.

I'll take two.

I’m not on a JURY. Reasonable Doubt isn’t my standard. I’m deciding where to spend my money. Chick Fil A isn’t breaking the law donating to anti-LGBT groups, but I still don’t eat bigot chicken. Gaiman maybe didn’t break any laws, IDK, IANAL, but I still won’t buy his stupid ass book.

The thing about this Gaiman BS is that it doesn’t matter if he’s *criminally* guilty, or what the accusers are like. Even technodildo’s screed paints him as a dude drunk on power who doesn’t see a problem with being coercive and shitty to women, and that’s enough for me not to buy his new book.

their awareness that they won't get targeted for DOJ while the DOJ describes standing outside and blowing whistles as domestic terrorism is surely something

Heck yeah! All for this!

That’s all great!

But you miss the point that the Dems are happy to STOP there. “No masks” is their demand for $10bn extra funding!

They could say “we aren’t voting for a budget until we see these killer ICE agents charged.”

The point is minor reforms might help a little, but it's like pissing on a house fire. Until they face legal consequences, the needle isn't going to move.

Rep. Ilhan Omar attacked at town hall

I need one patio door replaced and just stumbled on this lol. I'll note that name.

Imagine if Pretti’s killers’ identities were known and they STILL didn't face consequences. They'd be emboldened. Other ICE agents would feel even more invulnerable than they already do. Heck, they'd run for office.

100%! What's the point of seeing their faces if they’ll never go to prison for their murders? It'll just embolden them!

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Practical lessons from art professors!

It's frustrating how little universities teach the practical side of creative and academic subjects. Academia used to be actively hostile to teaching practical skills, too. I'm so glad to see it. Thanks for sharing.
