If there's one building that guy isn't in it's the Pentagon. It's latam military twitter you want to keep an eye on, and they're pretty confident things are about to start rolling fwiw

It is the greatest political lie ever told in American history. Not just some busted campaign promise, but an entire campaign on false pretenses. Literal cartoon supervillain behavior: waiting until you get in office and implementing a comic-book plan to annihilate US government virtually overnight.

every self-proclaimed dem who is not frothing at the mouth to abolish this agency ain't really a dem

DHS just lies constantly but this time they let the truth slip. DHS will arrest you if you are Hispanic PLUS literally any other thing that they think is correlated statistically with being here illegally; occupation, English speaking ability, the neighborhood, etc. It is sick.

I just canceled every Apple subscription I had, and pressed the pause button on buying anything from Apple (was going to upgrade my phone but I can make do). You should too.

There are warlords with like six guys and a Hilux who’ve more successfully resisted the United States trying to meddle in their shit

Big tech CEOs have spent more than a decade puffing their chests and saying that they are more like heads of state running global companies with bigger revenues than many countries … but now they’re all folding to actual government pressure faster than any tinpot dictator has ever folded

so the US government just forced a tech company to delete an app it doesn’t like, which is totally normal stuff www.404media.co/iceblock-own...

I'll go with the more sinister one: Fake footage of stores being broken into, looting in the streets, mass civic violence, etc. picked up uncritically by news media causing a moral panic.

This is genuine secret police shit

Fucking finally

The president of our country wakes up each day and fantasizes about ways to send in the military and kill Americans

The reason we're rounding up grandmothers and shoving them onto concrete floors for months at a time with no habeas corpus is in part because soft human trafficking is an incredibly lucrative business for some people in this administration.

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

"Dems will get blamed for a shutdown" as opposed to what, all the friendly coverage and positive credit they'd get for caving yet again? This whole premise is built on a delusion about what the alternative is. There's no cowering in the corner and being so inoffensive they won't still attack you.

Dry drunk

I think there's a lot of learned helplessness about discovering, indicting and convicting criminals who give or receive bribes, and I think we need to unlearn this helplessness extremely fast and incredibly hard

Trump holding the economy hostage to continue his power grab

I’ll start feeling better about this fight when I wake up and Jeffries is no longer leading it

I have lived and worked in and around Chicago for 27 years and I have been assaulted less often than Sen Paul has been in his own back yard.

Truly wild the way some random activist can get wall to wall coverage saying we should abolish the police. Meanwhile a billionaire media owner can be like "I want to do 1984 for real" and it doesn't register anywhere

79. American citizen.

one way you could describe lincoln's approach is of never getting ahead of the public on its attitudes, but holding an immovable set of principles on where the country ought to be and where he hopes to lead it

I know a lot of people won’t click through to read about “med beds” so here’s the crucial quote to explain how fucking crazy this is. Trump just posted an AI video of himself promising every American access to this.

This is a declaration of war against United States citizens

At this point I think the 3 liberal justices should just boycott and start publicly demanding court reform. I'm not convinced they're doing any good sticking around

Honestly wild how a key sector of the American economy has more or less been gripped by a novel eschatological religious cult

uh what the fuck

If whatever succeeds the Trump regime isn’t fanatic iron-fisted legalism this country will be well, truly, permanently over

fascinating thing about this is that electricity prices are going nuts and the structural factors that should drive prices up (data center construction, climate, the increasingly un-ringfenced natural gas market) are not yet playing major roles in the price rises which means it's only getting worse

The ICE agent is holding his gun as he tries to arrest somebody who is resisting. He then *puts the gun through his fucking belt loop* to "secure" it and, what do you know, it falls out later. It would be funny if it weren't so tragic, because that sort of shit is going to get somebody killed

Yes. Americans are checked out about politics, and either normal people will just chalk it up to Trump (dominating the attention space goes both ways) or they will finally sit up and start paying attention because the democrats will finally have acted like there’s an actual fire

"experts say" www.cnn.com/2025/08/11/b...

yes, this is why Trump’s hold on his base is so strong and why he was uniquely terrible for this country even above and beyond the policies he’s implemented he gave his base permission to break the social contract and they worship him for it

This guy almost died on a stopped escalator yesterday

Dave Matthews has the opportunity to do the funniest thing.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Step 1: impeach him for watergate 2 Step 2: add an impeachment article for not releasing the Epstein files Step 3: add 12 more impeachment articles once the Epstein files inevitably do come out

Did the shooter use an M1 Garand?? That would add a whole new dimension to it

If I hated what Ice was doing to immigrants I too would write on a bullet with sharpie and then only shoot detained immigrants.

Dawg, the whole reason China is having so much difficulty recreating the semiconductor supply chain onshore is that they're not allowed to import the best equipment, which is sourced from countries that are UNITED STATES ALLIES

It is bullshit that James Comey is getting indicted for a bullshit political persecution but not Merrick Fucking Garland

Imperative top democrats realize that nothing can be trusted from this administration. As far as I’m concerned the burden is on the government to even prove there was a sniper. My presumption is that ICE guards murdered two Latinos and blamed it on a “leftist sniper”. Why wouldn’t I presume that?

One thing that has helped to kill legacy media is that journalists have thoroughly renounced any expertise. Journalism schools now teach how to write a lede. That’s about it. We can talk about the demand side but there’s also a lot on the supply side that is disrupting media.

another point for “2020s biotech >>> 2020s infotech”

A part they seem to not understand is the idea of genuine beliefs. If you are going to run on a more moderate platform there better not be evidence that you had deviated from it in the past

NCES released IPEDS data on institutional characteristics, 12-month enrollment, and completions for the 2023-24 academic year. It's 2-8 weeks later than the typical year. Also, it looks like revised data for these variables for the prior year are available, but not indicated like usual.

For all the talk about Milei revolutionizing Argentina’s economy, “overvalued real exchange rate” is one of the most cliched ways that an emerging market can get into trouble
