Man.

The world fucking is on fire.

So go be as corny and cringe as you wanna be without hurting people.

Live whats left of your only life.

If you can’t be free in your body at least go be free in your mind and soul.

Fuck the haters.

From the folks (no really, the exact same people) who will use any excuse to sideline voices from the wrong side of their prep school fences in the name of β€œobjective journalism”

You'd *still* rather have Fetterman in the Senate than Oz.

You'd WAY rather have Cortez Masto than Adam fucking Laxalt, who's insane.

Corey Booker? Are we pretending he's a problem now?

Newsom is a slime - and still a better governor than Brian Dahle would've been

THINK! CRITICALLY!

It is absolutely a choice.

One of the most powerful, if not the most powerful, forces in public opinion is elite leadership. Partisans largely β€œfollow the leadβ€œ of their side’s elites.
Arguing Dems shouldn’t try to shape opinion is arguing they should give up this power voluntarily. That’s dumb, not to mention morally vacuous

DHS: Our officer was ambushed and beaten with snow shovels and broom handles. This was an attempted murder of federal law enforcement.

ICE says federal agents appear to have lied about confrontation that led to shooting

Agents had initially said that two men β€” Alfredo Aljorna and Julio Sosa Celis – assaulted them with a broom and a shovel before one of them shot Sosa Celis. But that account was quickly called into question, and prosecutors now say β€œnewly discovered evidence” contradicts the officers’ story.

The default assumption should be that they’re lying

Anyone currently involved in federal immigration enforcement, every officer, every bureaucrat, every lawyer, every judge, is a member of the most evil group of people this country has seen since Reconstruction. Darkness personified, every one. Doing this to children is beyond depraved.

Age group medals in 5ks, etc, also much more obtainable. Love to get to the age where "participation trophies" mean "You're still doing [x] at your age? Great job!"

Be careful, folks. ICE is still out there, circling the schools this morning. Even if this withdrawal is happening over the next week, some of the agents want to get their last bit of being shitheads in.

I will always consider it a failure of both legacy and new media that they did not understand who this man was, what he was capable of, and communicate to the public the threat he posed and what it would mean to reelect him. Not to let the public off the hook, but the media arrogance was staggering.

This isn’t over. People on the ground are staying vigilant and taking nothing for granted and aren’t ready to be duped by these proven liars. However, still: trump got his ass kicked this round , sustained resistance works

What I appreciate from Wired though, and what sets it apart ethically, is that they just don’t tell a vague story about expansion but explicitly list out the locations to help the people preparing to resist this state violence. It’s very courageous.

So, it's racism as policy.

Can confirm, and I can confirm that this is true way outside Minneapolis or even the Twin Cities metro.

Just something deeply wrong when a government cannot follow processes and values that most human beings would deem minimally acceptable.

If I was a Democratic politician I would consider that the thousands of brave patriots in this city are America’s most visible and hardened cohort of anti-Trump resisters, and if you tell them you’re going to stand with ICE, they will never care about anything else you ever do again

Eliminating ICE is the modern equivalent of opposing the Iraq War, and right now there are two types of Democrats: those who can see where the ball is moving and go to it, and those who will be swept away because they refused to do so.

I’m sorry but people talking about talent as an unfair quality that needs to be Harrison Bergeroned away by AI have exactly the same energy as people saying it’s unfair that attractive people have more people attracted to them and the government should legislate their right to a hot wife

The entire anti wokeness nonsense of the past decade was about making this kind of gutter racism broadly acceptable again bsky.app/profile/adam...

I cannot stand the "this is a good start" discourse. The Democrats in Congress do not want to abolish ICE. They have proposed a series of bog-standard reforms regurgitated by a think tank. Everyone knows they do not work. The Democrats supporting this do not care. They just want to move on.

My feeling is that attorneys on these cases should be filing contempt motions every single time that the government fails to comply with a court order.

feeling sad must hit incredibly hard for a rich guy. Imagine thinking you can buy your way out of anything but you feel like dogshit on some random day. You think feeling bad is for poor people. This is why you should always find what a rich person hates about themselves and pick until it bleeds
