channel 2 leaning into it this morning

This must be weird news to see if you’re one of the literally hundreds or even thousands of university administrators who preemptively censored faculty, scrubbed websites, changed the names of centers, etc.

Newly unsealed evidence makes it even clearer that Rubio and Noem knew they were targeting students based solely on their political speech and that they knew this policy was unconstitutional. They just didn’t care. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/u...

Voted for ICE funding

Seriously, @people.com has been meeting the moment better than 90% of publications with direct reporting and crystal clear headlines. This is a good way for the low-information voters who are usually detached from the news cycle to get turned around.

7 democrats made this bill pass. If they all voted “no” it would’ve failed 213-214.

Hakeem Jeffries actually being against this bill but being unable (or unwilling) to whip his caucus into voting against it, thereby causing it to pass when a united caucus would've defeated it, says all you need to know about that twerp bsky.app/profile/andr...

DOJ when they get a jury

Lolllllll eat shit

This really gets to the core of what makes Vance such a detestable figure

my Blackest opinion is that the presumption of conflict between "America has a long and deeply rooted history of violence" and "we can and should fight against today's version of that, as did those who came before us" is less a philosophical debate about how to treat the past and more a skill issue

I remain perplexed by Shapiro's apparent belief that attacking Kamala Harris, and on an issue where Shapiro is incredibly out of step with his party's base, will somehow catapult him to the presidency.

Learning US history didn't make me hate white people. It made me hate racists. I feel like if you've got some sort of personal shame, you haven't fully committed to destroying white supremacy.

Science is on the cusp of saving so many lives but the richest country in the history of the world is like “nah…take supplements”

my perhaps naive take is that america is a deeply flawed and sometimes evil country but it’s still our home and it’s worth fighting to try and make it better

"Should we vote to give more money to the people shooting my constituents in the face?" is not a complicated political question. And yet, Democrats don't seem able to answer it.

they're trying to get him to midterms like an old Civic dropping parts and smoking two miles from the nearest exit

ICE’s cruelty knows no bounds. Deporting children with cancer. Shooting moms. And now, using a 5 year-old as “bait” to detain his family. It’s far past clear: ICE must be abolished. Congress should not give it any additional funding. And the people responsible for its crimes should face charges.

Never has a bad performance. No one is ever disappointed when Delroy Lindo pops up on screen. Long overdue. Baller time

We must establish the run (aka refuse to give into the idea that we live in a fully consolidated authoritarian state)

They can’t do it because it points out that they themselves are doing nothing to help. Maybe three of them saying Abolish ICE. The rest are talking about retraining and body cams and QR codes.

“Cant sleep… i’ll just have a quick look at my phone”

It’s so interesting that the comet pizza-Q-Anon folks have disappeared just as their deeply held concerns about a widespread elite child trafficking conspiracy has been proven correct

The House Ethics Committee found that Matt Gaetz did all of the horrible things previously claimed—sex trafficking minors, prostitution (including of minors), drugs, drunk driving, obstruction, the works. The Florida Bulldog has secured and published the House report this evening.

Respectfully, look at this fucking bullshit that we’re dealing with, not a single person here has “taken the bait.” We have born witness as little kids are used as bait and neighbors are kidnapped on our streets. A mad dipshit is going to invoke the Insurrection Act regardless and you are blaming us

I really should finish Death Stranding

There is going to come a time in your life when you are chatting with a guy, at a barbecue or something, a new coworker maybe, a dad at school drop off, and he tells you he used to be in ICE. You’re going to need to spit on that guy

Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

If you have read even a single history of fascism, you are already aware that one thing that its rise has in common in every case is an opposition party that refuses to intervene for fear of looking weak or putting the left into power

right now the floor for me is abolish ICE and put every agent on trial and the average elected democrat is like what if we told them to cut it out

state-sponsored child trafficking

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

it doesn't matter if you don't want to have this fight, it doesn't even matter if it's not politically optimal to have this fight the fight is here and sitting it out is not an option if you can't see that get out of the way

This is insane. Insane that it's happening. Insane that these good folks need to do it in the first place. And insane that no one in power is helping them one iota.

I would argue that the case for dismantling ICE has, at this point, virtually nothing to do with larger questions of immigration enforcement and reform, it's just clearly incompatible with a free and democratic society to maintain a secret police force with sweeping and arbitrary authority.

ICE KIDNAPPED A 5 YEAR OLD FROM MINNESOTA & TRAFFICKED HIM TO A DEPORTATION FACILITY IN TEXAS

This guy cannot get to the Hague fast enough.

So, 3 broad possibilities here: 1) Rutte agreed to something of substance pre-cleared with Copenhagen & Nuuk 2) Rutte agreed to something of substance *not* pre-cleared with Copenhagen & Nuuk 3) Rutte agreed to something of no substance but that made Trump feel warm and fuzzy and important

There's one foolproof way to gauge whether someone is a millennial or a zoomer: Ask them how they learned the difference between Iceland and Greenland. If the answer is from D2: The Mighty Ducks, you're talking to a millennial. Otherwise, zoomer.

Basically correct I think

@edsbs.bsky.social a win streak longer than 50s OU football

The world learned today that you absolutely have to bully this dumb old asshole as a collective. Better late than never for them, but we better get used to being aggressively humiliated for the next few years.

Remember what I said about how when Trump falters, the media inserts a fake, imaginary version of Trump into the news instead?

"will europeans hate us even though we're smol beans who didn't vote for him" feels like a really narcissistic discourse even by our unbelievably highly narcissistic standards

as someone who lives in texas, I'm really enjoying how indignant americans are getting about being held responsible for trump

I think it’s bad that the Speaker of the House has been in a sensory deprivation tank since roughly 2015 and only emerges to get yelled at in the hallway outside of the tank.
