Counterpoint: No. ICE doesn’t need reform. Abolition and prosecution is the bare minimum.

Robert Duvall was the best. That is all.

Bullet dodged, so to speak.

We didn't say body cams on ICE. Their murders are already on video. We said no more ICE.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

ICE “agents” are some of the most rancid shit this asshole of a country has ever produced. And that’s saying something.

My late mother-in-law made us Christmas ornaments for years, I think we can agree that this is some of her best work. Miss her.

Loved this little movie theater in my old neighborhood in Chicago and this is such great news: blockclubchicago.org/2025/12/01/r... - I saw soooo many movies here.

The way centrists have rehabilitated Bush and are currently rehabilitating Cheney is *exactly* how they will be treating Trump in a decade.

I made you a flowchart: www.todayintabs.com/p/no-one-tru...

Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?

See, look, U.S.A., it's this easy (and should have been done immediately upon the knowledge that these cheats and grifters were STEALING our work)

One more skeet for Edmund Fitzgerald Day. Behind this historical marker is the famed Whitefish Bay. Today the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum in Paradise, Mich., rang the recovered bell 31 times, 29 for the victims of the wreck, once for all Great Lakes shipwreck victims, and once for Gordon Lightfoot.

This map is highly misleading. In the American electoral system, votes don't influence policy.

Years ago when I was on SNAP (we called it Link) I would tutor my hairdresser's son in exchange for getting my hair done. I got my teeth cleaned at a student clinic for $10 IIRC and my nails done by a friend in the cosmetology program who always needed people to practice on. Community 101

It annoys me when people say “they’re on SNAP but their hair and nails are done and they’ve got tattoos”. It’s extremely normal to do your own hair and buy press on nails, and tattoos literally last forever. What do tattoos someone got 10 years ago have to do with them needing to eat now

Another photo of Mom and me that I don’t recall ever seeing before. I already miss you so much, Maa. You were the best mom. I know everyone thinks their mom is the best, but you truly were. Thanks to my Uncle John for sharing this.

My lovely mother-in-law left today. She’ll be sorely missed.

My mom died today and the only person that I want to console me is my mom. RIP Maa.

We’re bringing Mom home today. Not ideal circumstances, but maybe she’ll be less despondent and delirious if she’s in her own home. She is coming home for the last time no matter what happens. We’re not sending her back to the hospital or rehab or skilled nursing. 🧵 1/3

My dearest Gwendolyn, it is day 25, we remain encamped in the Jewel-Osco parking lot. I have once again awakened to the sound of dripping water, for my bivouac lay beneath a large AC unit. Pvt Carson has passed, his agony concluded. The terror we felt as those beef sandwiches flew…

It will always and forever be a shame when a dictator dies of natural causes rather than getting Ceausescu’ed.
