It is imperative that state ethics authorities never let these people be lawyers again. They cannot just slide back into practice like they didn’t just spend 4 years pissing on the rule of law to get likes on Truth Social

I suspect 9 of 10 Americans are unaware that the Hmong are here because they aided the US in the Vietnam war, and then had to flee as refugees afterwards. Quite the “thank you” we’re giving them 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

😱

a non-zero number of pasty-faced ICE goons who are fully ancestry dot com-pilled about being like .0002% Irish will have their day sincerely, authentically ruined by this knowledge, and that makes it so beautiful to me

You can like Newsom if you want. I will give you my reasons I think you shouldn't, but liking him doesn't make you a bad person. But this screaming, cursing, name-calling thing some of y'all are doing for guy who just hasn't done all that much other than say a few okay things is a lot.

So weird when you wonder why the Dems shoot themselves in the foot: they’re not vetting their sources. All of the party should be behind this by now. Those exact words. The poll numbers are there with Dems and Independents.

I can't even deal with the fact that Cafe Iberico in Chicago is gone. My favorite restaurant forever. Best sangria, marinated olives, patatas bravas, and croquetas de pollo anywhere, all super reasonably priced. My desert island restaurant.

This is a good lesson, no matter how you come to learn it

ICE are nasty ass child kidnappers, like after school special style

Also: The Minnesota Historical Society has this flag but *doesn’t keep it on display,* because it’s, you know, a confederate flag and that’s gross. So deeply Minnesotan. “We humiliated our opponent but the real prize is that we refuse to display the trophy. They know we have it.”

I know these are dark times, but I would personally be grateful if someone would produce a comedy about an American President who was so senile and tired of the job that he kept doing increasingly insane things to try to get himself impeached, only to have his acolytes rebuff each new escalation.

The people who run Europe have, I think, finally figured out that "oh, Trump is actually a sociopath and no one in the U.S. is going to stop him." I hope they get their shit together in Davos. Congressional Republicans have the power to stop this. They won't.

"We want Mexican food but also we want only white Americans to have constitutional rights" is really a perfect summary of the ICE Nazis. Sort of like, "We want cotton & tobacco but also we want only white Americans to have constitutional rights" 🤔

This is amazing.

I have always told my white students that they can acknowledge the harm that white supremacy has done, and choose to repair that harm, but I've advised them not to stay there. You do have some fierce AF ancestors, too. It's just that we don't learn about them or what we learn is lies *on purpose.*

DHS getting basic 4th Amendment law wrong on its official Twitter account. Seems like this post is bound to show up as an exhibit in one of the cases challenging ICE/Border Control enforcement actions.

Straight, cis, white dudes, now is your time! Solidarity!

“This company is adding AI FUNCTIONALITY to its online portal!” *goes on to describe features which can all currently be done more reliably and less intrusively with proven non-AI tech*

I'd say it's hard to walk back the optics of shooting a suburban mom in the face, lobbing a concussion grenade at a toddler, and sending a bunch of paramilitary goons door to door asking for papers.

"Radical centrist" so...a typical Republican who holds one mildly progressive outlier view which they would never go to the mat for or a liberal with one reactionary view which will be the locus for them descending into full on fascism after a public meltdown

DAMN.

The Nobel people should take the prize away from her *entirely.* Also, as if fuckface has any idea how an í works.

another benefit of using signal before you need it is though messages are encrypted they can still tell when someone started using it or if they're using it. having normalized usage before many people in a region join at the same time in theory makes harder to infer usage is part of a recent pattern

He's floating it now so people get used to it. DON'T.

ICE agents fled from the crowd and left behind their CONOPS battle plan for Minneapolis, including agent's names, hotel rooms, phone numbers, boxes of license plates, and tac radio frequencies.

Good.

this is Minnesotan for "I am mad enough to bite through rebar"

Pretty sure all of us had more thorough background checks when we applied for our jobs than everyone working for ICE. Also, the men working for ICE are textbook examples of why women choose the bear.

I hope everyone making A.I. music gets explosive diarrhea.

Welcome to the world outside your bubble, fucknut.

Patsy Kelly's New York Times obit called her screen persona "plain-Jane". Here she is in 1933, looking anything but plain. #BOTD #FilmSky

👏 Today in Detroit.

Hmmm. ustr.gov/countries-re...

JFC.

TCM “franchises,” such as Noir Alley, Musical Matinees, Silent Sunday Nights, and TCM imports, were designed to be one-a-week “destination” shows. It’s meant to foster community, as opposed to the “I’ll watch whatever whenever I want” mentality. Plus, they’d have to pay me more.

But we were all forced to pretend like it was a good-faith political position.

The murders will continue until the murder accusations decrease.

Slightly diminish a band: Slowjump The Cousins of Mercy

ICE are unhinged and violent enough to aspire to be criminal thugs, but cowardly and submissive enough that they want permission and protection to do it first - in other words, bullies who'll beat up anyone smaller or weaker than them, but run sobbing and tattling if they get so much as a bruise

It's telling how the lives of Trump supporters have gotten measuresbly worse since Trump has come back to office, yet they still support him because of the fascism.

If you are a veteran, this kind of visible presence at anti-ICE protests is really valuable. These clowns all want to play dress-up soldier, so actual soldiers mocking them to their faces is devastating.

LMFAO??? this bitch?? she dresses like a stage magician! her whole closet is like a Tammy Faye Bakker collection by JC Penney and she's wearing 22 inches of somebody else's hair

This is from months ago and nothing is changing and the fundamental problem is clear from watching any state or local elected official at a press conference after the cops fuck up: they are scared shitless of the police they are nominally in charge of.
