We love giving American law enforcement more money for more training, don't we folks

This is the culture of the "side hustle," which means people aren't making enough in their full-time jobs. We can't accept that it's okay to underpay people regardless of the job.

really quite funny that weiss is a one-trick pony and that trick is “give jobs to my dumbass friends”

it’s honestly hilarious that the easiest way to piss off a conservative border freak is to literally just say “actually I don’t care at all” when they ask you about “illegal” immigrants living here

Stay focused. No mercy.

now technically I do believe it is illegal for any nonprofit to explicitly endorse/oppose political candidates or legislation or risk losing their tax exemption, and in general that IS a policy I strongly support but I wouldn't say no to watching the Catholic Church dare Trump's IRS to try it

Lol. It never occurs to these stupid shitheads that their infantile garbage could be turned back around on them. Boo hoo

It's a glorified pet rock, you assholes

"The rule… would impose sweeping conditions on U.S. foreign aid that effectively bar recognition of transgender people and the care they need to live safely and equally…" www.erininthemorning.com/p/trump-pres...

Just a little reform, it's still good! It's still good!

You’ve got to love how actress Kelly Marie Tran, one of the most harassed people ever to be on the internet, still leapt up to defend trans people in a recent interview. No one would blame her for keeping her head down and shutting up forever but she will NOT and I admire her for it ⭐

ICE is so pathetically desperate for some good PR that they’re tweeting about helping someone jump a car in the cold weather

HARRISON FORD DID NOT PARTICIPATE IN HIS FIRST EVER POLITICAL AD AFTER FIVE DECADES IN THIS BUSINESS IN THE DESPERATE HOPES OF STOPPING A SECOND TRUMP TERM FOR YOU ASSHOLES TO FUNDAMENTALLY MISUNDERSTAND HIS TWO MOST POPULAR CHARACTERS AND CLAIM THEM FOR YOUR SIDE

it's informative how many people I know who used to at least be willing to hedge a bit with "well, Republicans are people too and maybe we can win them over" have very much stopped doing that over the last year this should worry the Republicans

The officer who shot Alex worked for DHS for 8 years. The officer who shot Renee worked for DHS for over 10 years. Both are considered “highly trained.” The problem isn’t "training." DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.

It has come to this. (Also, like countless other journalists in MSP, the @startribune.com has been doing exceptional work under extraordinary circumstances.)

Authoritarians believe that physical force is the only kind of power that matters. They see stuff like mutual aid as fumdamentally weak. Which is why they're going to lose They'll do a whole lot of harm before they lose, but they lack the power to win for any length of time

A fundamental problem for the Trump administration is that authoritarianism appeals almost exclusively to cowards who project that cowardice onto everyone else If roving death squads came for MAGA most would stay inside. Hell, they stayed inside for 4 years after J6 because some people went to jail

NEW: One of Pope Leo XIV’s top U.S. allies, Cardinal Joseph Tobin, is calling for the defunding of ICE. Tobin says the “lawless organization” is a “machinery of death.” This marks the first time a senior Church leader has called for ICE to be defunded. More are expected in the coming days.

This is a big deal even if it isn't surprising (it should be! but this is modern right-wing politics, apparently!) The Conservative Party isn't accrediting @nationalobserver.com, but gives "content creator" accreditation to people like a streamer that begged me for feet pics and "Berta Proud Dad."

Right wingers are fucking babies.

It's time for Democrats to assemble the most ferocious and deadly tools in their arsenal: Aaron Sorkin, Lena Dunham and Lin Manuel Miranda. A few live readings of 18th century speeches and the GOP's hearts will grow three sizes that day.

This is the future Evan Solomon wants

Rep. Tom Suozzi(D-NY), getting raked over the coals for his vote for more ICE funding, says in a campaign email that he didn’t understand what he was doing

"Clashes"

Took her less than four months to Bari it.

I mean, sure, but this is the same RCMP that communicates via the child sexual abuse material everything app

CNN has decided their audience must applaud and support Tom Homan.

CNN calling Tom Homan "well respected" and "not as hardline as Bovino" is an interesting choice. The dude took a $50,000 bribe in a fucking Cava bag and says all the same fascist shit as Bovino and Noem.

i believe chatbots are causing people to lose their minds simply based on the unhinged emails that hit my inbox referencing things they’re hearing from their AI friends

White House stormed, Trump, Vance, Miller, etc. arrested. "I'm sorry," Trump says. "That's growth," liberals say, relieved. They let him run in 2028, out of fairness.

Many of us did down to the actions we are now seeing and beyond. White moderates and liberals called us doomers and accelerationist for over a year trying to convince themselves and others we were not just wrong but untrustworthy sources even if we were academics.

Remember when Trump voters started getting upset because they were hurt by his first admin? Then what happened? They voted for him again, because they assumed THIS time, he'll only hurt the right people. Their stupidity and cruelty never left them. They didn't change. Fear and pain aren't change.

"I'm also scared now, so things need to change" isn't moral growth, it's a reaction that even the worst, most immoral people have to threats to themselves. It's not progress, it doesn't mean they've suddenly developed empathy, it just means they're a little less delusional about their own safety.

Parliament must ban Canadian firms from doing business with ICE Morning File by me

If they're fine with the horrors until they realize the horrors might come for them, they haven't changed. They've just done a new threat assessment. As soon as they assess that the threat to them is gone, they'll go back to ignoring or even championing the threat that remains to everyone else.

Ahh, amid the cries of censorship, we all forgot the old maxim, “Never assume malice in what can be explained by stupidity.” The gruesome beauty of the Ellison family and their ilk, of course, is the mix of stupidity AND malice. Anyway, delete TikTok from your devices, it’s a must.

It stretches credibility that the Government of Canada travel advisory guidance for the USA still advises normal precautions. The page hasn't been updated since the two high profile executions of protesters by ICE. France is listed as more dangerous than the US!

They need to be made to go away permanently. Nuremberg was a Quinceañera compared to what is needed to wipe out 80 years of accumulated Nazi rot.

im sorry but we just spent the last decade being told the biggest issues were pronouns in emails and a trans kid playing jv lacrosse if you said these things and got paid for it then you need to go away. literally if “woke mind virus” is something youve ever said unironically you need to go away

It's floored me how *personally offended* they are by discovering that some white people disagree with them loudly and believe in things like helping people around them.

I keep saying it because it keeps being true: these are counterinsurgency tactics. This isn't law enforcement, it's warfare

The latest Economist/YouGov poll shows that only 37% of Americans approve of Donald Trump's job performance. But at this Paramount Skydance ownership retreat, that number seems much higher.

Most of us were never there because we grew up?

Not even their dogs are safe from the obviously fake receipt thing
