Just something so intense about mugshots of twin rapist/sex traffickers. This country is a lot right now

Arguably what came before was even worse

We were recently rescued from similar situation by smarter parent friends who had stashed a bag of extra clothes in the car. Otherwise would have been mud butt all day

Surf And Turf Before The Storm A longstanding military belief links steak and lobster meals to impending deployments, with recent rumors claiming troops near Iran were served surf and turf amid rising tensions.

This is so bucolic (aside from baby maybe wishing she’d brought a second pair of pants)

Surf & turf is the classic meal they serve when they’re about to tell you your deployment has been extended so…

Is he snorting it? Building weapons out of it? Giving it to Russia and Israel? I do not understand

$6.9 million of lobster tail in a month????? What would you even do with that much lobster

The thing is, there can be a piece of decent writing made by AI, but there is no brain on the other side. Turns out that’s what I wanted all along

Some ICE officials call Sheahan "Fish Cop" behind her back because of her previous stint running the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries in Louisiana. Sheahan knows there are people who think that, without any law-enforcement background, she isn't qualified for a job usually occupied by veteran ICE officials. "I absolutely think I'm qualified for the job," she told me. "Because at the end of the day, what really makes anybody qualified for any job?"

I was going to say this is un-American. Obviously this country has done things like this before (Native American genocide, slave trade, Japanese-American internment), but I thought we had agreed those things were not, in retrospect, good

How ICE Plans to Put 8,500 Immigrants in This Georgia Warehouse (Gift Article) Experts say the initial designs raise health, safety and security concerns.

I happen to be reading a book involving millions of people deported to the Siberian gulags, where some concentration camps at least had mitigation of disease due to fresh air. This one not so much www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I’ll be honest, I would like the Trump administration to back way off on war and rounding up American residents to focus on DC fountain restoration
