This whole thread is very well done 😉

Shot and chaser from new Epstein batch

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Since I'm pretty sure this administration doesn't realize this document exists, it would be worth downloading the 2020 Intelligence Community Assessment on foreign threats to the U.S. elections before it disappears, which includes the following finding: www.dni.gov/index.php/ne...

The @atlantafed.org #GDPNow tracker revised down 1.2pt to 4.2% annualized growth in Q4 2025 — significant reduction in net international trade contribution on wild trade flow swing/reversal and widening of trade deficit in November

Seems like one of those issues that should greatly concern everyone regardless of their politics.

"I believe that the GOP has forfeited any legitimate claim to being the arbiter of acceptable political rhetoric."

This is the BEST explanation I have seen so far.

If @colbertlateshow.bsky.social and Laura Benanti aren’t already at work on a parody of the Melania movie, they should fix that-

Giving the U.S. economy a letter grade: "I'm going to go with a B-minus and I'm going to remind your viewers of the extent of grade inflation in the United States."

There is no bottom- none whatsofuckingever- to the pettiness of this Administration. I sincerely hope everyone responds accordingly-

Wise Man: Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves Friend waiting outside: How did it go in there with the old guy? Me: Somehow he knows about the twin brother.....

So, so many members of this current, terminally online administration are going to have to do a LOT of grass-touching when all is said and done..... Ideally, that grass will be in the prison yard.

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

They're not even trying

hey everybody lifelong tech expert here > "system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility that's not how anything works they're lying and destroying evidence hope that helps

Remember that the legal standard for deadly force is whether the agent reasonably believed that he was in imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury. That is the only question that matters. And that standard is plainly not met by what we see in the video.

Absolute banger of a comment on r/military: www.reddit.com/r/Military/c...

Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

The people who'll tell you today's murder victim in Minnesota shouldn't have turned up to a protest carrying a gun are the same people who said Kyle Rittenhouse was perfectly entitled to do the same thing.

Again, Dem candidates: “If elected, I will never stop working to see that those in ICE, DHS, and other rogue agencies who violated the rights of their citizens are fully prosecuted at ALL levels” -> This campaign promise gets my vote and maxxed-out donations.

The guy in grey disarms the man on the ground being beaten—BEFORE shots were fired

Imagine a world where an elected Republican official somewhere actually asked for a complete and thorough investigation by unbiased independent investigators after a federal agent killed an American citizen instead of reflexively defending the government.

I look forward to the establishment of a Wiesenthal Center-like organization dedicated to identifying and hunting former DHS agents so that they may be held accountable.

In today's edition of Fascist Fashion, our editors ask the question "What face mask is most slimming for when you have to tackle a 8year old Mexican child?"

Them, but also more directly: 285 people out of 535 could end all this (218 + 67). That fact should not be treated as an "oh they'll never do it" shrug, as if they don't have agency. They should be hammered constantly as traitors and cowards every day they don't.

I didn't say it. The Germans did.

Did this guy go to Mengele A&M or Dumbfuck Tech?

“Quiet-quitting US Bonds” is gonna be a thing-

My rage only multiplies when I pause to think of how many people across ICE/DHS et al did this kid have to interact with, people who saw him….with absolutely none of them stopping to say WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE DOING HERE????

"Why is our suicide inducing, often incorrect CSAM-on-demand tool getting such bad press?"

It's so exhausting to to be constantly told by American leaders that the defining policy of the 80 odd years during which the US became the most wealthy and powerful country in the history of the world was a grossly unfair failure for them.

ICE must be abolished and everyone responsible for this decision making process, as well as those who carried out the orders, charged and prosecuted with severe jail time. This is a CLEARCUT violation of the Fourth Amendment, and shows a complete contempt for our Constitution and the rule of law

If Dems don’t impeach Noem they really are pathetic

Watch that. And then tell me how we replace Schumer with her

Hey, as we all watch the dementia-addled psychotic president of the United States ramble incoherently on a global stage, I'd just like to say on behalf of all Americans: Our bad.

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

Who wants to tell Captain Mensa von Dumbfuck here about 9-11-01?

Good morning. New tariff threat just dropped. 200% tariff on French wine (unless France joins the “Board of Peace”). Stabilizing!
