EVERY ICE AGENT WILL BE HELD TO ACCOUNT

Not Hasan running the softball team 💀

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

Uh what the hell is this Civility pledge in the CST today? An ad from the Illinois Municipal League with some real wishful thinking. "We are all striving to support and improve our community" Some of these people are Nazis!!!

My respect for anyone who says they're afraid of voting against this resolution is zero. You are a member of Congress. The country is being dragged to hell. 'People will threaten us.' What did you think this job entailed? Quit blubbering, vote no, and move on.

You should go to protests the same way you go to the club- by just showing up appropriately dressed and looking for someone to walk in with

College didn't "turn your kid trans", Kyle. You just refused to see them for who they really are and love them as your own child because you're a mean, scared man soaked in patriarchal rage. You don't even love yourself. Stop blaming us for that.

My kid is in a production of Beetlejuice Jr and there is more reckoning with mortality in one fucking song than these assholes are willing to do in a decade

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

The biggest reason I believe the groyper war hypothesis over the left-wing assassination hypothesis is that I don't actually believe most people on the left had a clear sense of Charlie Kirk as a distinct person from Ben Shapiro.

Less than 24 hours after finally being able to log in I received a price increase email from Apple, I am coming around to Dale Gribble conspiracy theory

Sounds great, governor! Meanwhile, in Chicago, here's the papers you need with you if you want to access the city's central neighborhoods via car this weekend. Oh, and non-residents aren't allowed. Roadblocks and checkpoints entirely put together by city officials, no federal meddling necessary.
