Wow.
how am i suppose to feel patriotic when the founders of my country set up a system to give privilege to an already privileged elite through a series thinly veiled lies about liberty?
it was never really suppose to be about us common people, was it?
why isn't there creamed corn with electrolytes? what are we afraid of
From Senator Chris McDaniel: “Lately, some folks have taken to calling ICE “the Gestapo.” It sounds fierce. It feels righteous. But it isn’t true, and it isn’t harmless. The Gestapo was a secret police force. No warrants. No courts. No lawyers. And no appeals. People vanished in the night, not because they broke the law, but because the law no longer meant anything. The knock on the door was the sentence. ICE isn’t that. Not even close. ICE is a public agency enforcing laws passed by elected officials. Its agents file reports. They seek warrants. They lose cases. Judges stop them. Lawyers challenge them. Some detainees go home. That’s not tyranny. That’s bureaucracy, for better and worse. You can hate immigration policy. You can argue enforcement is too harsh, too sloppy, or too broad. You can work to have the law changed if you wish. That’s a republic doing what it’s supposed to do. But when you call ordinary law enforcement “the Gestapo,” you cheapen real evil. You turn history into a slogan and suffering into a metaphor. And once every badge is tyranny, no tyranny is left to recognize. In Mississippi, I was raised to believe words should earn their weight. This one hasn't yet. It throws around the language of dictatorship while living under a system where courts still rule, lawyers still argue, and the government still loses. That difference matters. Because the day enforcement becomes secret, unchecked, and answerable to no one, we won’t need to borrow names from history. We’ll know exactly what we’re dealing with. And we’ll wish we’d kept our words honest.”
“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)
What I’ve learned about American politics the last decade is there is an annoyingly sizable population that does not actually believe in anything and simply imprints on the latest thing they heard on the radio like a duckling

Adding on to the clip @parkermolloy.com found where the dumbass OU student admits she just rushed through the assignment.
This isn't an issue of a trans instructor trying to force students to adhere to their worldview...it's a moron student half-assing an assignment and trying to shift blame.
Worth noting that the student admits that she just threw the thing together in 30 minutes without reading the paper she was supposed to be responding to.
Its true. It is.
If you’re white, your accomplishments are your own and you can resent and criticize the country all you like, but if you’re black and successful you should be grateful to white people for allowing you in their presence. bsky.app/profile/jess...
I had SO MANY of those comic books when I was a kid.
I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
I recently went to a McDonald’s where you don’t interact with anyone, you just go to a kiosk and then they put your order on a rack, and the thing that gets me is that nothing on the menu cost less because of it. No benefit for me! Doubt the people in the kitchen are getting paid better!
33 years ago today, Ron Simmons became the WCW World Heavyweight Champion.
History was made.
Mamdani: I would say that for the former governor to have spent an entire day speaking almost exclusively about me and barely about the New Yorkers who have been killed is indicative of the very politics New Yorkers want to leave in the past.
Because theres people who stand to make a lot of money off a lot of shit being destroyed. Those people are insulated from the consequences of decisions like this. Its always about money.
I REFUSE to believe that trump supporters really dont know that they're they bad guys. I will simply not hear of it. They HAVE to know...
Fucking hilarious.
Its punk rock, dude. We kinda DO have to see eye to eye on a few KEY things like sexism, racism, and fascism, just to give a few examples lol
If you're constantly angry that journalists sit on stories until they can publish them in a book, Hulk Hogan is the reason why.
Oh yea, these were it

bless this dude, he was in full audition mode the couple of times he got to talk. you get the ball, you try to run with it. go get 'em, kid.
This is driven home by the fact that a lot of countries dont do homework.
Kinda feels like sitting there and intensely learning shit for 7 hours is enough for the day. Especially when its gonna happen again and again for the next 4 days.
There's a lot of things where I look back on myself as a teenager and think "ugh, what an idiot", but one of the few things I agree with teenage me about is that it's fucked up to make kids go to school for 7 hours and then expect them to do MORE work after school.
lol
An endorsement from the largest local union of professional musicians in the world sounds a little different than the others but the meaning is the same: solidarity forever. Thank you Local 802 AFM!
