Vote for me and I promise you a chicken in every pot; a car in every garage; a banshee crouching ‘neath the burl of an ancient oak betoking death for all those who hear her mournful lamentations piercing the dark of night

*pushes up glasses* this is what a lack of local cultural competence in an occupying force looks like. Everyone in the state knows how dangerous dat ice der is.

"No one here has symptoms” isn't a reliable way to rule out COVID when around 40% of infections are asymptomatic. Please don't say this to dismiss others’ precautions

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Watch her skate, it's glorious

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

"The legal team said they submitted her US birth certificate along with additional documents they say establish her citizenship – but those materials were still insufficient to secure her release from ICE custody." 25 days. TWENTY-FIVE DAYS they kept this woman after kidnapping her.

You lying piece of shit. I chaired the Minnesota DFL for all three of your runs here. I watched you lose. Three times. Minnesota never bought your con. And now, as Chair of the DNC, I’m looking forward to ending Trumpism for good in 2028 — not with lies, but with votes. Again.

I love all of these 😂😂😂

File this under "reasons why no jury should assume an ICE officer's injuries occurred in the course of the incident before the court"

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

The creators of these apps make choices. Grok was created with the production of deep-fake abuse imagery as an option and that was a choice. The fact that the app is still producing these images, for free, with no restrictions, for anyone who wants them, is also an ongoing choice by its creators.

Miller: “By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland?" Vikings settled there; Danes colonized there; the US traded any claims we had there in exchange for the USVI; and Greenlanders have a recognized right to self-rule (and to independence if they choose to exercise it).

Because the woman below survived, the Federal government was obligated to charge her with the crime she was allegedly committing when shot, meaning they had to investigate it. That investigation showed she was innocent. Since Ms Good did not survive, they don't need to investigate what she did.

The purpose of journalism, especially when reporting on authoritarian actions, is to say what happened, not say what a wrong or lying person claims happened

The government is saying that violence rules. That snatching foreign leaders and territories, and shooting US citizens in their cars at point blank range, is justified. That resistance is not only futile, it is dangerous. They can say these things. But they cannot force us to believe them.
