I adore living in a timeline where I am not sure if that was an actual response from the secretary of defense.
Like,that could be a factual response from him and it would seem pretty tame.
Looking to speak to immigrants rights groups and immigration lawyers ASAP for a story about ICE/DHS and mass surveillance. If that’s you or anyone you know, DM me your best contact number!! Or tag ppl below who would be good to connect with.
That hardly seems fair to be suspicious of this pose.
Every pose Newsom strikes is solely because he believes it will drive his political ambitions.
The case against talking about impeachment is telling someone who is being abused to only ask your abuser to stop when they might listen to you.
"Shut up and take your beating in silence" is what abusers & those who accept their powerlessness preach.
Fuentes then fantasizes about “breeding gulags”: “So just like Hitler imprisoned Gypsies, Jews, communists, you know, all of his political rivals, we have to do the same thing with women… They go to the breeding gulags. The good ones will be liberated. The bad ones will toil in the mines forever.”
"Some were as young as 13, and at least half of those taken in so far became pregnant as a result of rape, sources said."
WaPo editorial board when TX imposes a legislative gerrymander: don't freak out guys! Not a threat to democracy!
When VA responds to TX with *referendum* on their own gerrymander: brass-knuckled hypocrisy, anti-democratic gamesmanship.
There is hypocrisy here, all right, but not from VA.
I think this is great news.
Protesting had become so normalized that clueless billionaire lickspittles think they can get one going for absolutely anything.
As things get worse even more people are going to be in the streets for real issues.
I hate that this has been the thinking of Democrat "leadership" for a few decades
From the NY Times: It was unclear it Mr. Trump was aware that the clip had been included in the video before he shared it. It was unclear how the clip was made, although it appeared to have been generated by A.I. The clip appeared to have been taken from a video that was shared in October by a user on X whose watermark is shown, with the caption "President Trump: King of the Jungle," and an emoji of a lion.
It was unclear if Mr. Trump was aware that bullets were in the gun before he fired it. It was unclear if he knew that firing those bullets into a random person on 5th Ave might cause their death. It was unclear if it was Mr. Trump’s finger who pulled the trigger, or that of an unnamed staffer.
"I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!"
Lots of us feel the same way.
I'm pretty sure the answer is money & power is what's wrong with them.
Turns out that neither religion nor lack thereof discourages sex pests.
It has more to do with power imbalance than beliefs. Power imbalances are both a goal and requirement for serial pests.
The pest without power faces consequences swiftly.
I get this impulse but I think that focusing on the Kleins & Kirks misses what it does for the people who agree with you & people likely to agree with you.
People protesting strengthens your side. Yesterday someone proudly told me that they were teaparty & then Trump.
It's for us, not them.
"look what you made me do."
If you work for DHS and hate your boss / leadership, you have the chance to do the funniest thing.
Be a legend
One of the things I adore about these suggestions is their specificity.
Nothing listed would be radical by any reasonable definition of the word.

I love this photo of today’s anti-ICE march in Minneapolis. Despite the frigid temperature, tens of thousands of people gathered with unity, righteous fury, and inspiring signs. And other kinds of signs.

This reboot of the xfiles is hitting different than I expected
Roger's, Sesame Street were very political but we were kids, we didn't know.
fundamental problem for centrists (no idea if Sanchez is centrist):
Fights leftist win become norms then "centrist" think the left has never done anything.

For those outside the Twin Cities, the person posting this GoFundMe is a member of Minneapolis city council (and among the many locals doing absolutely heroic resistance to ICE), so it's legit.
This will die in obscurity it know that your hard work will be remembered
I was *certain* this post was a metaphor for modern politics
The fact that they were describing real life events is just amazing
You bring to mind a lovely point: when anything works we will not hear about from any official sources.
Nothing in large media will allow anything effective to spread if they can help it.
For example I suspect that I will not hear from media about people on MN using waterballoons in winter.
Chuckling at the Nazis being hit with water balloons and then crying 'please stop'

Damn it, I knew I wasn't being snarky enough.
I was just being tongue-in-cheek that since they hurt cops they weren't all bad...
But thanks for answering honestly!
Okay, so what's the argument against flashbangs?
I completely do not get it
