US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:
"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."
We need to abolish ICE
I bet cbc didn't edit out the opening ceremony crowd booing Vance, also
ICE slipping on ice

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

“In 2029 we will rebuild the White House as it was, and pay for it by seizing the assets of the Trump family.”
This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥
How about the sun instead
Fwiw, I suspect Ed agrees on the need for more reporting here
This is a massive, history making abuse of your power. It will define your legacy and one day you will come to regret punishing free speech and trying to destroy democracy.
A fact.
“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind
Xennials. There's even a wikipedia page: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xennials
Refuse to be called woke by someone who talks like a Harry Potter side character having a stroke. “Noshing on a poncy porous plimsoll?” Go to a hospital.
Right, like what happened on January 6th, 2021?
This article just reminded me of this old tweet
If Dems were smart, they'd create an ad with that clip and repeat it for the next, I don't know, 40 months or so
Sad that this is needed
Democratic politicians and liberal pundits bemoaning the LA protests need to understand that as *their* failure. None of this would be happening if they had offered effective resistance to mass deportation (extraordinary rendition, in truth) instead of considering undocumented people expendable.
My wife and I were just talking about this.
Whatever impostor syndrome you may have once had, dispose of it fucking immediately. If these people run the country, you deserve that promotion, you can run for city council, you can start that business. If this is the baseline, shit, you can do surgery drunk in an alley and you will do less harm.
I feel like I’m losing my mind with the lack of wall to wall coverage on disappearing *children with cancer*
i keep saying this, but it’s not 5% of the uproar that came from Biden’s debate.
“kids peeing in litter boxes”, a thing that never happened, got orders of magnitude more coverage.
It’s only getting much play in the trade/transport niche press. But pretty real product shortages beginning in mid-May or so are already locked in. They’re maybe a thousand miles out in the Pacific Ocean. Modern trade takes place in gargantuan container ships. There are very detailed records …
A TPM Reader shared this graph with me which strongly suggests that border immigration surges recently, which spur so many conspiracy theories in this country, are driven by periods of acute labor shortages in the US. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/its-t...

When I met with Mohsen Mahdawi today, we spoke about how appreciative he is to have the support of so many people in Vermont.
He said one of the reasons he wanted to become a citizen was because of his belief in American democracy.
He hopes that justice will prevail in his case.
