Note how there's no violence or chaos when the cops aren't rioting.

Thesis: ICE is un-American and the Minneapolis protestors are real Americans. Antithesis: Ackshually ICE is operating in a long American tradition of racist terror. Synthesis: Minneapolis is now the epicenter of a clash between two distinct but historically grounded American political traditions.

I’d add that even if there powers were appropriately restricted, the culture that had obviously developed within the agency is so heinously toxic and abusive that it’s beyond realistic remedy by ANY policy reform in the short term. You’ve got to fumigate and start over.

You’re arresting terrified children and using them as bait. Arresting kids getting treatment at doctors’ offices. Blinding protesters. Illegally raiding homes. Making people terrified to leave their homes. You want to pee in peace? Quit your fucking job.

Y'all, I need you to understand that this is a normie-ass paper in Interior Alaska. The fact that not only so many people are writing in, but the editorial decision to give it so much space, really seems to be an indication on how widespread the anger is.

only thing blue line i recognize 🫡

Donald Trump wants to end freedom of speech and make it illegal to criticize him or his regime.

the western alliance was born in the fires of the most catastrophic conflict in the history of the world. republicans are spitting on the graves of the dead. these men and women are human filth.

republicans hate america and they spit on the graves of the dead bsky.app/profile/laja...

I want to emphasize that at this time the unconfirmed reports that President Trump has both arms stuck "elbow deep" in the airplane toilet are just that. We will be monitoring this story. Please be responsible about spreading news that both his arms are "as far as they can go" into the toilet hole.

Some of the dimmer lights in the WA state legislature have, in their hunt for ghost guns, filed a bill that would effectively make selling any CNC machine tool a felony in WA state. That's because the bill defines 3D printers absurdly widely. app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?...

If Germany had gone all in at Jutland... the result would have been a wipeout of the Kriegsmarine and freedom for the surviving British and French ships to shell the German coast at will as well as fully contain the U-boat threat with mines and close blockade.

If anyone can't manage to put together a mid-budget Brit scifi/horror movie about a man trapped in this lookout post after a nuclear war in the 1960s, trying to escape before it falls in to the sea, then we should close down our film industry www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

This is extraordinary. They aren’t just kicking the ICE agents out. They’re temporarily closing the hotel altogether due to “heightened safety concerns in St. Paul.”

The actual story is that a family of American citizens trying to evacuate from a neighborhood that ICE had made unsafe, and then ICE tossed munitions into the car, causing three kids to be hospitalized and a six month old to stop breathing. DHS called the family “radical agitators”

Scott Adams dying at 68 rather than 69 is the perfect capstone to a life of being almost — but not quite — funny

LOL, apparently Jeanine Pirro decided to crash the markets just 'cuz. I wonder how much money she and her friends have made off insider trading from this escapade.

I am invisible! You cannot see me!

The Discover tab is a danger to the body and it can kill

white guys who want to sneer at the resolve of liberal and left wing white women right now: this is a superb time to shut the fuck up and go do something useful instead

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.

A reminder that ID checks are basically this for the internet.

Make it viral.

Anyone who tells you the moon landings didn't happen is a habitual liar. There are no exceptions to this rule.

When "In the Heart of the Sea" gets to Henderson Island... and not only is the place clearly not Henderson, everything the characters say about the place is entirely at odds with the real place.

Magic Johnson was the grand marshal of the Rose Parade today, and as someone who remembers his November 1991 HIV announcement: if you had told anybody that day that he would be alive and healthy 34+ years later, I don't think they would have believed you. Medicine and research—they work.

another robot highlight for 2025: man wearing humanoid mocap suit kicks himself in the balls

Well now, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

Everything alive in the Devonian period tried too hard. “Ooo, look at me, I’m a weird elongated pentagon” Shut up!

If you're a staffer at 60 Minutes who worked on that CECOT segment that got yanked by Bari Weiss at the last minute, figure out a way to leak it. Not saying it's an easy decision or there won't be consequences, but ask yourself why you got into journalism in the first place.

wow, seeing Jake Paul get beaten half to death, true terror in his eyes, really improved my whole outlook on life

I cannot state any more baldly or clearly than I already have about what an immense menace RFK Jr. is. The number of preventable illnesses and deaths - of *babies* - will be horrific. This anti-vax crap is grotesque anti-science, and always has been.

weiss is trying to playact the role of a reporter, erika van... er... erika kirk is trying to playact the role of a grieving widow, and they're both fucking terrible at it

Anti-vaxx is Anti-human.

People who go on about how much they hate drama just want to be the sole source supplier.

Clearly this raccoon is qualified for a powerful position in the Trump administration.

there are of course many examples of political constituencies that have in fact killed scores of children (en route to some other evil goal), but I can't offhand think of any historical examples of a political constituency organized for that specific purpose

This guy will be a Republican within a year if he gets elected. He's a white working-class cosplayer with Nazi tattoos for crying out loud. He's literally the prototypical northern Trump voter.

Counterpoint: you could read something good.

Poop jokes all the way down...

Tarring and feathering was invented for people like the author of this book. www.amazon.com/Titan-Unfini...

The writers are getting so fucking lazy...

it’s incredible how both people who voted for Trump thinking he was better for Israel and people who voted for Trump thinking he was better for Gaza managed to be wrong

Trump doesn’t have to call on House Republican to vote to release the file. Trump can order Bondi and Patel to release the files. Tomorrow. The question is, has he already ordered Bondi and Patel to destroy some of the files after they went through them months ago.

i think online gambling is a cancer that is spreading throughout our society, it was a horrible mistake to de-regulate it, and we desperately need to crack down on it again
