The idea that they want only legal immigration was a lie from the start.

Kinda hard to argue this point.

This DHS post in a fashy font features the sizzle reel of the raid on the Chicago apartment building, set to a cover of “Jesus Walks,” a song by Ye…an artist originally from Chicago who is now best known for his “Christian,” pro-Hitler stance. Very subtle.

“Traumatized, humiliated, degraded.” The nurse, a US citizen, 4’11”, 85 lbs, says she was following orders when she was dragged out of her car by masked immigration agents in Florida. It was the 3rd time she had been stopped and told to produce ID. Free link ⤵️ www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Wow, that’s a pretty big point of disagreement, NPR. Maybe someone could investigate which point of view is correct and report on the truth of the matter. Do you know anyone who does that sort of thing?

Bibi’s long term influence operation targeting US Christians & their faith & political leaders continues to pay off for him & the extremists he’s empowered.

America's real welfare queens are wealthy landowners. Here's how it works in the western US, and echoes the way in which it works for corporate farmers in the mid-west. They get bailouts and sweet deals while railing against the working jobbers who do the actual work. www.hcn.org/issues/57-12...

You see, when an asylum seeker tries to get money to survive and buy bread, that makes them an economic migrant smart smart smart a Real Asylum Seeker would starve win win win get to starve em or deport em lets goo

I give it six months before he’s donning a military uniform and giving four-hour speeches from balconies.

Getting major Bankman-Fried vibes out of this. I wonder when Americans will realise that maybe letting this class of people run their economy is going to cause other countries to decide they can't be worked with. S. Korea's already there and that lots of others have "quiet quit" on it.

Rand Paul could have prevented Pete Hegseth from being confirmed as Defense Secretary. Instead, he voted for him — a manifestly unqualified candidate — to run the Defense Department. Now, we're here.

Some of y'all didn't believe me 2 weeks ago so I'll reshare in light of the hilarity above bsky.app/profile/bake...

Reimer is right about the near-term risk of losing US flu sequencing. It makes vaccine mismatch more likely. But the deeper issue is epistemology. Immunization decisions have always leaned on an assumption that the US science apparatus would remain politically insulated. That assumption is gone...

Google's AI search is the acme of enshittification (with apologies/thanks to Cory Doctorow). What a joke that outfit is now. Further to this, this tells you how much credence you should give to anyone citing an AI/LLM for an argument they're making. AIs say what their owners want them to say.

“That was the day that it hit: UCLA has changed forever. It marked a turning point in the militarization of campus.” Read Will Alden's deep dive on political dynamics at California's largest public university: jewishcurrents.org/portrait-of-...

Thread to find out just which <koff koff> "titans of industry" were all on board during that brutally bigoted rant today.

It wasn't random. Rather, yet another textbook example of governmental abuse of power for personal gain.

I see the Libertarians are at it again. Here's a recent post on faeceplant, and I'd like to compare to obvs doctored pic from their post with some real ones from Toronto in 2012, where the analysis and inspections were not done properly.

Thinking a lot about this moment from literally the first chapter of "1984."

To give you an idea of how ridiculous the gerrymandering in Nashville is, here’s our district. They diluted a third of Nashville into a rural area about 50 times as large that extends north to the Kentucky border and about a third of the length of the state to the east.

She is a criminal and the US is a run by a criminal regime.

FYI the whole point of Fox News is to reinforce the message in the video below

Time to invoice the telegraph for using my illustration, I guess

No matter how bad you think it is in the US, it’s worse.

It is who they always were.

Wow, the new "AI overview" that I have to scroll past to get to my search results is terrible, and it seems to be getting worse in real time. Like, literally trying to steer me away from the very thing I'm searching for bad.

It's really looking like Harvard is turning out to be the Oprah Winfrey of the Ivy Leagues.

Witkoff, for his part, is a corrupt dupe. The Russians routinely play him like a kazoo. Now he apparently thinks he's some kind of genius because of the Gaza negotiations. So he's throwing U.S. interests under the bus, presumably with an expected payout from Russia.

Read the whole etc.

If people are not committing murder, correctly telling them that murder is illegal is, itself, illegal.

If the government won't bail out my crypto losses, I'm going to become an even bigger libertarian.

You’re a pretty shitty lawyer, Mike.

Hahaha they’re are terrified Mamdani is going to humiliate Trump

This should be understood to really mean “punish people who are unhealthy.”

The New York Times really should be called the Ollie Follies.

The phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121. #epstein

Somehow I'm just completely unsurprised by this. She probably should be referred to as "Linda (Bathory) McMahon".

Surely this cannot be!

Jaw dropped. Trump Administration Removes Report on Missing and Murdered Native Americans, Calling It DEI Content

More American institutions fall. I think we can safely conclude that it's a problem with the culture. Their culture leads them to knuckle instantly if doing anything else will lead to any kind of discomfort or, even worse, damage to their wallet. What a pathetic display by the AMA.

The New York Times knew that Epstein was a pedo and sex trafficking since 2008. They knew that he and Trump were besties. Dean Baquet, AG Sulzberger, Patrick Healy, Joe Kahn ignored all that and focused instead on a bullshit vomited by republicans (Benghazi, emails) and a book published by Bannon

8 years of "What is a woman?" and now it turns out that the comeback was "define a child"

From the FT: looks like der Drumpfenführer is taking the people's money to bail out his fellow fashistas. So much winning for America's beef and soybean farmers! I wonder if Milei slicked his willy for him. Seems to be the way these ollie handmaidens make deals.

It's why they want abortion illegal. Because a desperate mother trying to save their baby will put up with really gross stuff. All of their politics that 'dont make financial sense' make sense when you realize they want to create a target rich environment for victim hunting.

Rod Dreher putting on a hot dog costume as he sits down to type this out..

Thread's worth reading, even if you're a country fan, because while the country folks take a beating, it's not as much of a beating as the people running the music industry take.
