I'm reminded of how Obama claimed to be against gay marriage during the 2008 campaign, and then by the end of his second term it was legal nationwide. Far too few leftists seem to understand that politicians sometimes lie in the OTHER direction too.

If enough people had taken to the streets AFTER she was elected, she would have come down on the side of Palestinians, if only because it was the will of the people. I really do believe that. Now Trump wants to level Gaza completely.

Oopsies "A Department of Homeland Security whistleblower has released the identities of about 4,500 ICE and Border Patrol employees Tuesday in what has been called potentially the largest agency data breach for the department."

At the risk of being labeled a "shitlib" or a "genocide enabler," I'm just not sure Kamala Harris would've sent a masked Proud Boy gestapo to terrorize the citizens of Minneapolis for absolutely no goddamn reason.

Where is Jill Stein btw?

Not sure how ICE is planning to take over the entire country with a massive show of force when they’ve been going for two weeks and haven’t yet made it across the river to St Paul

They've only seen Trump's level of evil firsthand in cartoon supervillains, so they can't accept the Democrats being anything less than cartoon superheroes. There's many reasons why we ended up in the current FUBAR situation, but that's a key factor.

ICE and CBP are not above the law. Know your rights so you can use them.

The article is fixated on “Democrats in disarray” as if the GOP majority isn’t derelict in their duty & the media isn’t spending time whining about swear words, but the important part is Rep. Torres is introducing the Quick Recognition Act, requiring ICE agents to wear QR codes that let you ID them.

This is a huge blow to the do-nothing Democrat narrative. Or it would be if the people who believe that weren't a quasi-religious movement that ignores all evidence that contradicts their beliefs.

Van Hollen: We are here to say not one more dime for Donald Trump's ICE operations

JK Rowling be like:

And again, no one has an answer for how Biden & Garland were going to Green Lantern getting past the 6 Wizards In Robes.

Despite Trump engaging in an active cover-up and trying to distract us with anything he can, the Epstein files keep coming. #Trump #EpsteinFiles #EpsteinTrumpCoverUp

WOW! Six federal prosecutors in Minnesota resigned on Tuesday over Justice Department’s push to investigate the widow of a woman killed by an ICE agent and the department’s reluctance to investigate the shooter, according to people with knowledge of their decision. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/u...

Rep. Lieu: “Greg Bovino last night made a post that essentially called protesters, ‘cannon fodder.’ He needs to delete that post, or he needs to resign…If Greg Bovino and the administration doesn't turn down the rhetoric, it's going to cause more people to get killed.”

There are no policy solutions to this tgat aren't abhorrent on their face.

Why is it never the solution that this generation of men are relentlessly making themselves repellent to women, and their glorifying of misogyny makes them undesirable as fathers? Why don’t they just study being father material and not bro material? I’m not a het woman but it seems that would help.

Turns out it is much safer to attack the U.S. Capitol than it is to drive away from ICE. Who knew?

It is very, very instructive to note the different reactions to the deaths of Rob Reiner and Scott Adams. Both did great early work and, charitably, less-great work for decades after. But one was a fundamentally decent person and one wssn't.

I find it wild how Scott Adams completely ruined his reputation appealing to the Right, and not one of them cares he died.

Very good Morning File by @philmoscovitch.bsky.social “It’s all just so tired, and so tiring. Guys in their 50s acting like teenagers are pathetic. Guys who keep hammering at the same tropes over and over again are boring. Guys who think like this, unfortunately, increasingly rule the world."

A few months ago, ICE hired me I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!" My latest for Slate

honestly rarely do i give the UK government much praise but it’s impressive how quickly they pivoted on this, really puts canada to shame

Hey CA! Vet out candidates closely!! There are going to be a LOT of these wolves in sheep's clothing this year. www.rawstory.com/california-r...

The animating force at the heart of US conservatism currently is incandescent rage at the mere idea of women's autonomy and independence. An image of a smiling woman who looks insufficiently deferential for their tastes riles them up enough to tear up the social contract.

See the problem for a bully is once they show that they'll melt if you punch them in the face is that they get punched in the face a lot more.

i saw someone propose an interesting theory as to why they're doing this in specifically Minneapolis: it's a progressive city that's still small enough for them to do this type of heavy-handed occupation there's nowhere near enough manpower to have this type of density in LA or Chicago

It's ALL really just misogyny all the way down, and being unable to admit that is part of the problem. "Cringe" and "woke"-as-perjorative are both just versions of "Don't be such a GIRL/p***y/gay!" rebranded for Millennials who didn't want to sound like (outright) slur-using Xers and Boomers.

Sigh. Guys, I've been MORE than ready for a "Let's honestly reappraise the Prequels and how GenX treated George Lucas about them" discussion for a long time now; but it's going to be an intellectually dishonest circle-jerk if we're ONLY going to do it in the context of "DISNEY ERA SUCKS" Be better

If you think/recognize that my generation conducted itself shamefully with how we received the Prequels? Recognize at least the POSSIBILITY that you are doing the same thing with at least *some* of what "Star Wars" has released between then and now. Because it rhymes 😉

A recurring theme I'm noticing with these senseless killings by ICE, is that their victims actually had a family and community that loved them. Doubt these ICE criminals can say the same. #AbolishICE #RIPKeithPorterJr

One of the most encouraging things and a major difference from Woke I is that people are more willing to stand their ground and not concede to bad faith attacks from any poster with 'radical' aesthetics. Normie lib and center left people have much more self confidence now

Part of it is the realisation that 'actually, we don't really *need* you' re antisocial shut-ins

Smucker is extremely good on programmatic unity, but even he shies away from saying what needs to be said: unpopular fetish-demands cannot be in the binding program. If normies consider elements of your binding program bad for their values or interests, the popularity vs values tradeoff is zero-sum.

“The paradox of education is precisely this - that as one begins to become conscious one begins to examine the society in which he is being educated. ” ― James Baldwin

Congratulations to Harvard University for firing their president at the behest of Chris Rufo and this guy.

Breaking MS NOW: The Justice Department has fired the No. 2 official in the U.S. Attorney's office for the Eastern District of Virginia after he declined to lead the controversial prosecution of former FBI Director James Comey, according to multiple people briefed on the matter.

Men created AI-generated images of this woman and used them to create an OnlyFans account so they can make money off abusing her. They can do this to any of us, and no one’s doing enough to stop them. I feel like I’m screaming into the void.

When Trump lashes out, California fights back. Late last week @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov filed a lawsuit to block the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services from withholding funds already appropriated by Congress that would benefit our babies, elders, and working families… (1/2)

we really do not hate the media enough

Rest in peace.

So many people in the last half decade have told him to go outside, and once he finally did, he’s doing good for the community. There’s a lesson there, maybe bsky.app/profile/coac...

JUST IN: Judge Mehta rules that Trump/Russ Vought's termination of environmental grants during the shutdown — targeted solely at states that voted for Kamala Harris — violated the 5th Amendment's Equal Protection clause and orders them restored. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

It’s a way for elites to displace responsibility for their own failure to act onto the unwashed masses (who have in fact consistently acted with far more bravery and integrity than university presidents, CEOs, politicians, etc)

If Americans don't need columnists and Thought Leaders to tut-tut them into better behavior—if the Thought Leaders are in fact the source of the ethical failures—then there's no point to keeping the pundits around, and that can't possibly be correct
