guy who has only seen boss baby and has been shot in the gut during a heist gone awry: oooohhhhh…aaaaaagh…they’ve killed me. this is just like the wikipedia entry for reservoir dogs

Without a US market mRNA vaccines don't make financial sense for a lot of things. This decision will not just mean Americans die, it means a versatile effective series of new vaccines will not make it to market worldwide. Our ignorant fear kills across borders.

Once the corps and oligarchs 100% took the news mass media it was really game over wasn’t it? Reagan killed the fairness doctrine. Clinton & Repubs then scrapped rules prohibiting media consolidation. Followed by 25 yrs of mergers, hiring careerists & firing real journalists and here we are.

ICE and CBP haven’t withdrawn from a single fucking U.S. city that they’ve occupied.

We've gotta get figure skaters into better music. A lot of dubious choices being made.

Lyons says ICE agents actually "took care" of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos when they detained him, before shipping him off to a horrific Texas ICE facility. He says ICE officers "comforted him" as they chased his dad, put him in their car to play "his favorite music, then took him to McDonalds."

nothing will convince me shit like this isn't partly downstream from watching Bradley Cooper shoot an Iraqi kid with tears in his eyes

What will those feisty Gen-Zers purchase next? Recklessly splurging on the $1.50 hot dog at Costco? An actual vegetable every other day? Perhaps even a second serving of gruel?

WHERE IS JONATHAN ROSS? He should be in jail awaiting trial for the murder of Renee Good. Where is he?

Police lie so often that lawyers have a term for it: Testilying. Keep that in mind when moderate Democrats say that ICE and CBP agents should be held to the same standards as police.

Obviously exercise is an outstanding partial treatment for mild depression and is generally a great thing. However, huge problems arise when people expect that exercise will help people with moderate/severe depression the same way. Exercise DOES help me, but it's a teensy drop in a bucket.

How fucking disconnected from day to day life for human beings do you have to be to call a fucking big box store rotisserie chicken a fucking splurge it’s the new living on peanut butter and ramen you sociopathic fucking alien machine. What fucking hole in space wept you into existence.

Breaking MS NOW: In a major defeat for Mike Johnson, 3 House Republicans bucked their leaders to block legislation that would have restricted Congress' ability to strike down Trump’s tariffs. The final tally was 214-217, with 3 Republicans joining Democrats in opposition.

how go the marches of gender and genre, comrade

Helluva statement from Colorado Rep Crow (D) on the Trump administration's failure to indict him and others

"If you tax billionaires, they'll just leave!" Well, if they don't pay taxes, there's no net loss, so happy trails, motherfuckers.

The Stillaguamish Tribe has been buying back ceded lands for floodplain restoration, benefiting salmon and nearby farmers. “It is a bit of a bitter pill to swallow to buy back the land that we essentially traded for the resource, the fish, but it's what we have to do to get things back on track."

I keep rereading this paragraph expecting the words to change

The vast majority of Democratic politicians, including many who fancy themselves ICE opponents, remain deeply invested in the narrative that some immigrants are bad guys and others are good guys, and that the bad guys deserve deportation. Here's a story about what this kind of thinking can produce:

Thread. If any candidate on the ballot this year isn’t 100% committed to closing these monstrosities with the same urgency in which they’re being set up, then they shouldn’t be on the ballot.

Thinkin about how we used to dogsit my brother’s dog when he went out of town, and the dog did NOT want to eat. So we would pretend to eat his kibble to make him jealous, and sometimes we sang “happy birthday” to him. It worked

What shade of lipstick is that? Could be a huge clue.

This was a failed coup by the Trump administration against Democratic members of Congress. Everyday Americans on the grand jury stopped it. The 6 targets were right all along—don’t follow illegal orders. Speak truth to power. Because it will prevail.

hahaha not scary at all

Consistent with Project 2025, the Trump administration has managed to capture, commandeer, or corrupt every important social institution -- every important social institution except juries, that is. Project 2025 didn't have a plan for juries.

new jersely delicious

I think it should be legal to slap these off someone's face and smash them with a big mallet if you see them recording you without your permission

Whale evolution makes me uncomfortable

We really do need to rebuild the capacity to meet strangers in public places, and stuff like this ruins it for everyone.

BP agent Charles Exum bragged about his shooting skills and putting seven bullet holes in Marimar Martinez. Bovino emailed him the day of the shooting calling his service in Chicago “excellent.”

everyone with an IQ above paste could have predicted this would happen: anyway; these Meta glasses are ontologically evil and anyone who wears them is a creeping blood-worm who should be chased from society with stones and sharp sticks

An agent told the teen to call her family and ask them to pick her up. But the agent said that if they came, ICE would send the entire family to Texas. The girl writes “My family decided not to come and pick me up as a result of this threat. ICE decided to take me to a hotel.” tinyurl.com/3nkf9sbd

This is the second time an ICE employee has been arrested in in a Bloomington, MN underage sex trafficking sting www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

Age verification? My palace economy was decimated by the Sea Peoples

"Discourse Bait" is kinda funny like "Hey Erin it looks like you're posting something and you'd like for people to engage with it??"

"This person has been known to give their opinions" oh fuck oh no

Watters: I was walking in my street, a car drives by and I give him a wave. He rolls down the window and says, “F U fascist.” He doesn’t know I’m a fascist! Jessica: Yes, he does. You’re on TV.

Sometimes they thought they were innocent. Sometimes they felt the trial had been a good enough warning not to do it again. But sometimes they just declined to bring the weight of the justice system down on the head of a neighbor.

One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.

NEW: FBI seizure of 2020 ballots from Fulton County (Ga) was triggered by a referral from....... an attorney who worked to overturn the election results in 2020 for Trump. www.cbsnews.com/news/fulton-...

When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means

and no more 'burnt ember' give me some top shelf

every time i see someone use the word doomer on here it comes with this manic juice box-before-bedtime energy. people gotta stop learning words on here

Donald Trump must be removed from office. Period.

Both these options sound objectively amazing, why do racists keep assuming everyone's racist?

Even if you don’t like “pornography” or think kids shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near “pornography,” consider that the people with power to legislate what that MEANS have a very different definition than you do

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?” There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

And we don’t have to guess what they mean, because we can read Project 2025 ourselves and see that “pornography” is shorthand for LGBTQ people existing publicly. That’s what they’re working to ban, censor, and restrict online under the guise of “protecting” kids from porn
