To this day, I don't think I've read a more emotionally impactful comic than James O'Barr original Crow

ICE Agents Wait At Edge Of Delivery Table To Deport Newborn

Trump has reportedly sued Chase bank and its CEO for $5B, accusing the megabank of "debanking" him. As he pursues a lawsuit that could only benefit him, Trump's administration has effectively shut down the agency that was trying to rein in debanking for the benefit of all US consumers:

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

The DHS funding vote is exactly like the healthcare subsidies vote. We, the People, tell Congress what we need them to do - in this case, abolish ICE. It is the only option for a civilized, lawful Nation! 🇺🇸

There is going to come a time in your life when you are chatting with a guy, at a barbecue or something, a new coworker maybe, a dad at school drop off, and he tells you he used to be in ICE. You’re going to need to spit on that guy

ICE kidnapped a 5-year-old and sent him alone to a facility in Texas. Hell isn't hot enough.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Look at that guy. What a scumbag

In a speech to the World Economic Forum, Mark Carney says middle powers such as Canada must accept that the rules-based international order is effectively dead, and great power rivalry with is here to stay. Key excerpt:

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

We have an entire class of Democratic "leadership" that has been told that it's dangerous and extreme to say this, and that does not understand that what Democrats want is for their leaders to articulate what they believe and why they believe it. That should not be as big an ask as it apparently is.

Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

I read Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman's Dragonlance trilogies when I was a kid before any of the other huge fantasy series--even before Lord of the Rings--so for me this was the fantasy explosion. Tanis Half-Elven, Sturm Brightblade, Raistlin--these characters were as big as Gandalf, Aragorn

Did you all see @ericcanete.bsky.social 's homage to Larry Elmore's cover to Dragonlance Chronicles?!? Holy fuck!

This is one hell of a quote. European leaders really are running out of patience.

“If we can not collect the data, if we defund all these programs, and if nobody’s counting, then there’s the gaslighting that says, ‘Well, there’s no data to say there’s a problem,’” one professor says.

Watching the Lord of the Rings films this weekend it once again struck me the feelings I had when I read the books the first time, imagining a whole world almost utterly visually different from how it was depicted in the films--

When I watched the 25th Anniversary screening of Fellowship of the Ring on Friday we stood up and clapped at the end of the movie. Now at the end of Return of the King I'm just sad, sad that it's over.

@delwatergap.bsky.social is great

My experience watching Two Towers: Man, Gandalf is fucking cool. Theoden is fucking great. Gandalf is awesome.

The illo Glaurung Sets Forth from Nargothrond is so cool. Glaurung is such an interesting creature and Alan Lee really gave him an interesting look and vibe compared to the Ted Nasmith version

Friends, my little brother is undergoing chemo for a very treatable form of leukemia. He's not destitute or anything, but his treatment comes with a hefty out-of-pocket upfront cost. He's our town's beloved coach/teacher/first responder, so folks here want to support him with a benefit auction.

The Lord of the Rings is the greatest movie series ever

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.

I was very annoyed at not winning the big penis prize (due to my penis size being rejected by the judges for some reason) but now the big penis prize winner has given me the big penis prize so now everyone knows I have the big penis.

New in PN: Democrats need to shut down Trump's terrorist government "Democrats should reject any pretense of political normalcy while Trump’s goons wage an ongoing terror campaign against their own constituents. With government funding running out soon, the time to take a stand is now."

He's ruining cities that voted D and disappearing citizens who don't like him. When he said he would "fix it" so Republicans didn't even have to vote anymore, what the fuck did you think he meant? Did you think that was casually tossed out there?

Man, imagine if you were inundated with popups and ads and shit every time you went to Wikipedia
