The goons should purify themselves in the waters of Lake Minnetonka

It's the 3rd of January 1939, your name is professor James Smith and you are staring at a drawing of a fish. It's not a regular fish. It is a completely impossible fish.

You assholes put Rümeysa Öztürk in an unmarked van for writing a milquetoast op-ed

I have to think that there are a lot of grandpas in a lot of outer ring suburbs eyeing their deer rifles and thinking dark thoughts.

These problems are bigger than any individual so this isn't a solution but I do think Schumer and Jeffries should be replaced by any two Minneapolis residents who are out doing ICE patrols right now

this, driving a person to suicide because they had the temerity to want to work in public service, is what russ vought hoped to accomplish

I was surprised during Trump 1 that there were so many perfectly normal-seeming Americans who had just been waiting for someone to hand them a pair of jackboots. It's not a surprise anymore, sadly.

I DM'd him on Facebook to tell him his name had been released, and he may want to private his socials. His response was to change his PFP to this. Absolute king shit, gives zero fucks

The latter part of this tweet has gone under the radar but it's an alarming escalation. The Trump admin has already detained dozens of people with full refugee status, seemingly those who had not yet adjusted to green cards, and is detaining them in Texas and seeking to strip them of their status.

CBS, you're clearly hurting so you can have this slogan for free: "Get Dokou-Pilled" Trust me, everyone who respects Bari Weiss will love it.

To any ICE agents reading this who are from down south—you have never experienced anything like this cold. Our European climate equivalent is literally Stalingrad. It will hurt to breathe. You will be outside in it. So will we, but we are used to it. Next week is what will break you.

Republicans in Congress:

I have no idea how valid/invalid this study actually is, but it sure feels RFK-coded. And I hate that this is something I have to consider now.

I wanted to write about ICE and CBP terrorizing my friends and in the process ended up talking about how suck I am of these guys defining what America is, because this is the opposite of how we learned to be Americans growing up in Minnesota

I post this all the time, because this article comes to mind all the time.

"I'm giving her all she's got, Captain!"

It feels like someone told the Golden Globes they had to do a podcast award, so they just looked around the room to figure out which people they already knew happened to have a podcast.

Geopolitically, it would mean the US divides by zero. We do not know what will happen, and anyone who claims to know what comes next is lying to you. But I have a strong feeling that it's not a world I'd want to live in.

lmao Mad Magazine has still got it

I do not think anybody is prepared for how quickly and how thoroughly things we've taken for granted our whole lives could change

I saw this video of a Vietnam vet in the fur coat yelling at ICE and thought to myself, "this is missing something," before I realized, "Ah, of course, the Ether instrumental. It's so obvious."

I love passing this bridge and realizing that if a whole city can be this petty, I am not holding onto too many grudges.

"If you consider all the people we put out of work to be less than human, then really we've hardly destroyed anyone's jobs."

The media is not equipped to deal with anything happening right now.

Someone should be looking into pardons for this goon's other victims.

Not really on topic, but it reminds me of the folks who love to say "molon labe," but leave out the part where immediately after the Spartans told him this, Xerxes did in fact molon right over and labe.

it is the policy of this government to treat democratic-led states as conquered territories and the people therein as something like hostiles or even enemy combatants

Really, ChatGPT is just giving you a luxury experience that is normally only accessible to the rich and powerful -- the experience of filling your life with butt-kissing and sycophancy until you completely lose touch with reality.

I am outside Roosevelt now, my daughter goes there. Talked to staff, ICE was in a car pursuit of someone and they crashed and went up on school property. Teachers formed a circle around the person to protect them. Ice releases tear gas and took two people

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

This is such a monumental loss to information history, journalism & education. Hard to imagine we're living through this period in our country's history. Dismantling all that's good about America brick by brick.

God

Newhart is the first thing that comes to mind.

If the US wants Greenland's minerals then any American company can simply have them. This is much uglier and less rational than that.

Palantir co-founder says it exists to kill communists.

Cites Schoolhouse Rock!

If I remember my Thucidides, when a democracy decides to explicitly become an empire, the results are fun and good

This is uncomfortably reminiscent of some of the reporting on Russian troops looting washing machines in Ukraine: the vibe of "how dare they live so well"

Since they're all on the same side now, I want to know if the Q people ever got that guy they think is JFK Jr. together with actual RFK Jr.

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

Just about the best minor luxury in the world is having your dress shirts professionally laundered, starched, and pressed; rather than trying to iron them yourself.

My bet is that the real "Hampton Inn Kicks Out ICE" story is: some goon forgot to make a reservation and invested an excuse. Before that comes to light about 4 people are going to suffer some combination of firing, doxxing, and harassment. At least 1 will have never had any connection to the hotel

Somehow this is not a joke.

it is incredible that the entire high level legal apparatus of the United States is "anything that helps people is impossible, anything that kills people is permitted"
