THE FREE ARTICLE AT THAT. IT'S FREE. AS IN YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY MONEY TO READ IT WITH YOUR EYEBALLS.

opsec poseur shit is genuinely blackpilling to a degree that i have to look away because i can't handle it, i've felt like i was going to literally throw up every time i've looked at bsky today these fucking idiot children are going to make us lose the fight and there's absolutely nothing i can do.

The Agreed upon 5 bill minibus can’t go through because Lindsey Graham is mad it contains a provision reversing a provision from the CR from November allowing senators to sue the justice department for accessing their phone records

Liam misses his mother and his schoolmates. All of the children at the Dilley detention center long for the lives that were ripped away from them. No child should be in a place like this.

Watching people get mad at Jeffries because of an article they didn't read from my hometown paper when several stories near it is a an article on a local Republican pedophile who got a mental health diversion sure is fucking something.

Not gonna lie, it's incredibly gratifying being called "wasbappin" for correctly noting how commonplace the media ratfucking anti-Dem narrative is and then being proven right so immediately.

To clarify, the agitprop *is not the article itself* nor is it even *the article/post's framing* given local events/context. The agitprop was several large accounts taking a random local news org's post and inflating it to national Discourse levels.

this is repeated rhetoric which means they are trying to manufacture outrage when kudos are in order anyone who uses that "pinky" comment is qorking for gop block them immediately

KGET is free so none of you had an excuse to not read the article. Do better.

The sad thing is that I’m certain that 95% of people having the vapors over this headline didn’t actually put in the 5 seconds to see where the headline was coming from, let alone actually read the thing

The article doesn’t hide the ball, the problem is that the people who spend 8 hours a day complaining on this website about what Democrats are doing can’t be bothered to spend 30 second reading an article about what Democrats are doing

I am truly not sure to do with the fact that Jeffries can demand express statutory authorization for states to prosecute ICE agents and because some random website didn’t put that in the headline nobody knows about it, and in fact get mad at him for not demanding the thing he is actively demanding

Many of you have truly impressive, Cal Ripken-like streaks of never clicking through a link

People just going out here saying the literal opposite of what happened. Thune caved! Thune did! This is a cave by Thune and Senate Republicans, any possible way you cut it.

so you know how there's a theory that three-cueing means many Americans literally *can't* read.

"We had to ban Will Stancil from the Resistance because the Zionist might attack the Somalis in Minneapolis" is truly some all time brainworms.

One thing I wanna note: the reason they went with that title is that DHS tried to deport a little girl living here *legally* with an extremely rare medical condition. It took intervention from Senator Padilla to keep her here and from dying. ICE raids and deportations are a local issue

Also, they've been deporting natural-born citizen kids with their non-citizen parents, even when there are other options.

Folks, there's a reason why a deceptively titled and described post from KGET, a random tiny news outlet from Bakersfield, California went big tonight. You all fell for the agitprop. Great job. You all deserve the cynical and truth-free world you're helping to build.

Everyone screaming at this didn't read the article and btw: it's free so you don't have an excuse to not read it.

shri thanedar has introduced a placeholder bill to abolish ICE that's stalled in the house, even if it passed the house (which it won't) and made it to the senate, and even if every single senate dem voted for it, it doesn't pass. even if they get tillis, collins, paul and murkowski, it doesn't pass

like, it will literally be *years* before they can do this. there are lots of things they can and must do in the meantime to gum up the works and constrain them, and they should run on abolishing ICE when they get the power, but they don't have it right now, and markey knows that

as far as i can tell, *ed markey* hasn't even authored a bill to abolish ICE

what this *does* do is spin up a ton of completely unproductive anger and gnashing of teeth amongst low information libs and lefties who don't want to hear about procedure or want to count votes or want to understand how legislation works, they want to be mad at democrats

ed markey thinks you're an idiot

i know this website struggles with nuance, but, surely, it is not hard to spot the wide open space between "right now we have the power to abolish ICE" and "we should abolish ICE as soon as we can do it", space which can host any number of statements which are *not* lies

i agree with this, and i guess i'd add that i'd like everyone to start treating important things as if they matter. yes, i'd like electeds to do this, but not just them and not just executives and elites. the lolnothingmatters era needs to die, it's a big part of so many big problems.

when elon musk says they're going to make one billion robots, the correct response is to tell him "no you're not". it's not a debatable point, and part of the reason he's so wealthy and powerful is that people *who have the power to tell him no do not*

america's always been a country of hucksters going back to the very beginning, but we've never given so many transparent hucksters so many keys to the kingdom in the way we've been doing for the last several years.

part of it is that they don't actually have staff, but it's also incompetence. none of these people know how to run the agencies they're running, they don't have the skill or experience to do it and they don't trust or have fired anyone who does.

Trump: "I don't want to drive housing prices down. I want to drive housing prices up for people who own homes."

to be clear this happening is immediate, conclusive proof that the Senate GOP is fracturing hard over this and willing to join the Democrats on *very real, important demands* the Dems are making w/r/t restricting ICE's activity

it really speaks volumes that the people discoursing about minneapolis think that Sharing Crowdfunds is the Important Work

Yeah, Reuters is reporting that ICE is now explicitly ordering agents to turn back whenever they see "agitators" like @whstancil.bsky.social, which logically means they can no longer abduct people at the presence of watchers and commuters www.reuters.com/world/ice-of...

I’m not totally sure how to address this but apparently I’m getting kicked out of ICE rapid response for the moment because I’m allowing press ridealongs, with an extremely strict condition that no other observer be identified. Lots of observers have allowed ridealongs and they benefit us.

Just the general “Dems need to be more extremist like McConnell!” 1. Dems have been objectively more obstructionist in the minority compared to McConnell 2. McConnell’s wins were when he had the majority. He deserves no kudos for it. 3. He’s lost several winnable Senate seats. He’s a loser.

I’ve been on this for a while but absolutely loathe the lionization of McConnell by libs/leftists. The dude is a loser. Just kept on hitting the easiest of layups and people thinks he’s some sort of genius. And now the party he’s helped shape is something he himself hates. Good job Mitch!

american conservatism is not the preservation of fire but the worship of ashes

remember what JD Vance said of the ICE agents that arrested this little boy: “what did you expect them to do?”

I'm about as sober as one can get without literally being a teetotaler, and under the fairly reasonable assumption that I'm still not going to want the California champagne we've had since 2024, I think the move for me is going to be "appetizer extravaganza"

well that's easy, I view it that way because Harris gave them absolutely zero policy concessions in exchange for the endorsement

It’s really difficult & disorienting but the feds hit LA extremely hard today. There were kidnappings all over & reported cluster raids in Chinatown, East LA, Ktown. This list shows to 1130 AM but they haven’t stopped all day Just because the media attention stopped doesn’t mean the abductions have

Nobody said that, is the thing. They said that *Dems* couldn't *make* Trump's immigration numbers collapse. You know what did? Two people being murdered in cold blood on video.

I have died, I am dead, please tell my story oh my GOD DETECTIVE HARRY HOLE

this is a straightforward impeachable offense for trump, vance, rubio and every other person down the line who enabled it and the framers would have thought impeachment for it did not go nearly far enough

“This giant ICE army” you can’t convince me this guy isn’t an op. It’s at 20k right now with shitty morale and they’re struggling to overpower the 46th most populous city in the US. It’s irresponsible to scaremonger like this, but breathless fanfic is more fun than doing the work I guess.

Felines for Fish, Family, Freedom!!

THIS CAT IS YOUR FRIEND IT FIGHTS FOR YOUR FREEDOM

ok, but WHY is the proof in the pudding? and who put it there? Now we're just sitting here with pudding covered proof and a mess on our hands.

HUGE news! This is about a Trump admin effort to arrest thousands of screened and vetted refugees in Minnesota and fly them to Texas to be jailed and then interrogated. After the interrogation is over, people are being dumped on the street and told to find their own way back.
