Newly released federal data shows immigration agents booked roughly 1,900 immigrants in the first half of Operation Midway Blitz – two-thirds of whom had no known criminal convictions or pending charges. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/12/01/o... by @joemahr.bsky.social @lauranrodriguez.bsky.social

It’s important to note from a military perspective that if a subordinate is about to give an unlawful order & his senior knows about it, it’s also a requirement for the senior official to stop him from executing it. And then counsel/discipline him. So there’s that, too.

How many news outlets will run with "Second Strike, Hegseth's Third Strike" when he gets canned.

How do we know he's not drunk when he gives KILL orders?

The FAFO sequel

How many days until Trump pardons and repatriates him? 🤔

The U.S. is just going to invade another country, killing many innocents in the process, to steal its fossil fuels for profit (and plunging their government into a generation of chaos). Trump is just a common thief on a global scale using an already failed plan.

National news broadcasts: "The Chicago area is getting a few inches of snow tonight." Chicago area:

We need Congress to read this and the actual definition provided into the official record for history and for evidence of future Congressional/criminal investigations & trials. @RobinKelly.house.gov #RemigrationIsEthnicCleansing

First 4" shoveled. Another inch down by the time I finished. Just 14 more hours before it ends. #Snopocalypse25 #Chicago #SouthSide

So this is what the National Guard has been reduced to, being beat cops? So what happens when there’s a natural disaster, which Guardsmen assist with. This is demoralizing and disgraceful.

Why is he ordering "a lot" of new cutters when we're just blowing up everything that floats?

So why is Trump blaming Biden & not Lindsey?

So if all the people from “third world countries” should be banned from migrating to America because of a deadly shooting, what are we going to do about all the armed and alienated young white men?

Then all of Trump's J6ers have to go back to prison, too.

This fuckin' guy ...

Thanks to right testicle Moses Mike ascending into the Felon's body for longer than an ark-tic excursion, Trump's annual War on the War on Christmas will be preempted by the opening salvos of the Great Redaction-ary War. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

With Bondi Blandification in full force, whatever the public sees is going to read more like the Warren Report than the Pentagon Papers. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

I have a sickness. A self-inflicted compulsion. Despite my 5x-weekly routine (mostly light) visits to the place where they put food items in bags—there must be a shorter name for that—I can NOT help myself from conjuring a reason to go to there on Thxgiving, the worst of all the days for such acts.

Just saw the Felon's response. Interesting name check on Somalis in MN. He probably wasn't s'posed to mention that. "Oopsie, Stevie. I tipped your hand for your anti-War-on-Christmas surprise."

I realize it's a matter of national security and they can't just blurt out that he's incapacitated. Still, the Constitution offers mechanisms for removal and replacement for "them" to enact. If only their bank accounts weren't tied to his coattails.

😡

Will he even call their families on Thxsgiving Eve? 50-50. But if he does, surely he'll blame Biden and Bowser, and probably Pelosi, too, and rave about tariffs and crypto, and probably email to each mother a commemorative condolence NFT of buff Trump dining on a lion he just wrestled and killed.

Kristi has no budget. She’s got the nation’s American Express Black card for domestic terror expenses.

Israel has held 16-year-old American, Mohammed Ibrahim, without trial, for 9 months. He has been denied contact with family & his health is deteriorating. He says he falsely confessed to throwing a rock after being beaten. America needs to secure his release NOW.

All these end-of-year predictions about consumer holiday spending are framed as some sign of growth. "... projected to spend $x *more* than last year! (Yay!)" Could it be, maybe, perhumps, that shit's just more expensive this year and unit volume will plateau or drop YOY?

Why are FBI dir and Noemland Sec pretending they're part of some Taylor-esque entourage?

When I first started flying in h.s., I wore my suit & tie (hoping to meet girls, iibh). I later ditched the suits when the "privilege" became more like packing my 6'3" butt into the trunk of a Geo Metro for six hours at a stretch.

Illegal and shameful and just how police behave in authoritarian regimes. And also wildly unpopular and not the country Americans want.

Trump wrongly indicted me. I’ll rightly impeach him. Impeachment isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent — but is it working?

The Regime of Unintended Consequences rolls onward.

Trump is "trying" to do something to address our national healthcare nightmare before ACA subsidies expire on Jan. 1? I'm sure whatever he comes up with in the next 37 days that he hasn't come up with in the last 11 years will be perfectly fine.

Did MSNOW lose a bunch of advertisers in the transition? At the end of one of Velshi's hours yesterday, they ran a loop of several of their station promo ads for a solid 6-7 minutes. Maybe a technical error?

And, gee, I wonder what China might do in its backyard to distract us if Trump goes to war in our own. Xi can claim that Trump's Venezuela folly is precedent for finally attacking Taiwan. If only we had a Congress that could stop our felon.

American Airlines ✈️ honored Bessie Coleman, the first Black woman to earn a pilot's license 100 years ago, with a flight operated entirely by Black women, from maintenance crew to the all female crew from Dallas to Phoenix. ❤️ This is special, this is newsworthy. #Pinks #ProudBlue

She turned toward him. In her hand, his rolled up copy of Forbes magazine came into view. He beamed thusly.

Does Trump call him Mamdadi from now on?

Up next from Forbes: "Fire Hot"

Who voted for this?

Band Aids, Benadryl, and beef broth in every pot, most likely.

Ayo @npr.org did y’all ever apologize for this? 🤔 Talk about aging terribly. Yeesh. Maybe it’s at least time do a little introspection? www.npr.org/2024/08/25/g...

This is powerful prose. Read it. Sit with it. And be cognizant of the (un?)intentional subtext. (Several passages had me thinking I could be reading something exactly like this *about US* in the near future.)

So damn sad. #ETTD

I was a front line nurse during Covid. Wearing trash bags, wet masks, NO adequate PPE to protect me. I worked a 60 day stretch over the holidays because staff were sick or had died. I pronounced more people dead than I can count. Donald Trump didn't give a damn if we lived or died. Now THIS?
