Something lost in the prices/affordability convo is that dismantling regulators shifts a financial burden onto consumers. They’re at much greater risk from various forms of fraud and less likely to comparison shop because of the likelihood that an unfamiliar product will be dangerous or defective

the burgers have fallen, the American century of humiliation continues apace

In central MD alone, ICE is rapidly contracting: - AI skip tracing - AI face recognition - Cell tower spoofing vehicles - Signal exploitation equipment - 6 months of MREs for detainees - Detainee transport vans - Device cracking & data exploit firms

Don’t think ppl understand the terror the Feds are unleashing on the streets of LA right now. Roving patrols targeting vulnerable individuals. It’s horrible. There’s no one coming to save us except ourselves.

We Dodgers fans knew without being told, but we can grieve with them now. I'm heartbroken for Alex and Kayla.

rosen is one of the moderates who sincerely wants a bipartisan deal, her being this angry is a good indicator of where they’re all at

"In Chicago, per one court filing, ICE Chicago field director Russell Hott purportedly replied “no” after an attorney asked if he agreed that “it’s unconstitutional to arrest people for being opposed to Midway Blitz.”

Tulsi Gabbard is trying to take control over counterintelligence from the FBI. It's not going great. A scoop with @shaneharris.bsky.social

incredible that "we cannot deliver cities that are free of pogroms of ethnic terror by secret policy" is actual policy in practice

They made Jimmy Carter sell his peanut farm.

A heavy music festival in Blackfeet Nation this summer was abut more than just music – it was a protective ceremony to shelter Indigenous youth from suicidal distress. buff.ly/aQQC7EX

Counter-revolutionary Goofy can still happen if people want it bad enough

Funko Pops are fucking disgusting and won't exist under left-communism

The plus side is it can’t get any worse

The Rockies ownership bringing a culture of winning to Denver by hiring Jonah Hill’s character from Moneyball…at least he’s from outside the organization.

Justin Dean picked up by the SF Giants on waivers.

Lets fucking gooooo!!! Now they just need to resign Kiké, which I’m sure will happen sometime around spring training.

TIL how insurance companies make money is taking our premiums and investing in the stock market. I learned this because the house insurers that dropped fire coverage from Californians due to climate change are in hot water for putting investments in oil companies driving climate change.

Anyway, here’s John Rocker blowing a postseason series clincher to the New York Mets

Well at least he’s aware the elections happened, I was fully expecting him to say “I’m not aware of any elections”

Fort Leavenworth doesn’t have a huge junior enlisted population but not having a DFAC available is arguably bad. The Army garrison feeding system has been in a death spiral for the last decade at least, the shutdown causing more problems is not shocking. taskandpurpose.com/news/army-df...

Good morning. Last night was a referendum on Trump's corruption, cruelty, and chaos. But it's also not a coincidence these big wins came at the exact moment when Democrats are using our power to stand for something and be strong. A huge risk to not learn that lesson.

I know the stakes and that the GOP is doing the exact same thing but I’m struggling to feel even marginally ok with how toxic extreme gerrymandering is. Disenfranchising people is bad and I don’t want to U.S. to continue to climb up this national escalation ladder but how do we descalate?

It also just makes so apparent how Democrats have been gaslighting us all. They've been doing this whole "we're doing the best we can!" schtick and now it's like, "no motherfuckers, this is what doing the best you can looks like!"

Sometimes you don't know how hopeless you've been until someone gives you hope. What if we loved and were in solidarity with one another? It's such a simple question, but a profound one nonetheless.

What a fucking day!

New York assemblyman Zohran Mamdani confronts Border Czar Tom Homan today in Albany 👇🏻

Brad Lander is at the victory party and, folks, he has the custom one-of-one “GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE” shirt.

I am no longer asking

the cia won’t see your jokes about rigging the virginia election. that’s the nsa’s job

Whoa 😲 www.404media.co/kodak-quietl...

Violates: • First Amendment • Hatch Act • military tradition

I’m not sure if they’re trying to sabotage Cuomo so they can use “communism” as an excuse to invade NYC before Mamdani’s even in office or they’re legitimately trying to help.

All hat no cattle

Teen Vogue took young people seriously. It's impossible to overstate how important, how rare, and how profoundly needed that is.

I want to root for the Rockies but the ownership makes it really hard for me to do anything other than go to Coors field when teams I want to see are playing. They’re happy having a sub .500 team as long as ticket & concession sales stay good and they get their revenue share. #rockies #selltheteam

New awareness campaign

NEW: Footage of a US citizen in Chicago being rammed then dragged from her car on her way to work. Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours. She was later released with NO CHARGE. A DHS statement said she “violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers”. You decide…

Now that the parade is over Yoshinobu Yamamoto is available to pitch

US citizen shot from behind as he warned ICE agents children would be coming to get bus, lawyers say

Los Angeles, CA - LAPD once again calling unlawful assembly outside of the Douglas bar as fans are watching the dodger game via laptop and radio the bar turned the tv off. About 30 minutes ago, they called it for the first time and said 5 minutes. Now giving 20 minutes to disperse. Top of the 10th.

Los Angeles, CA - LAPD has commanded The Douglas, the nearest bar to Dodger Stadium to turn off the televisions. They are now calling unlawful assembly, though as far as I can tell the only signs of anything are people on the sidewalk. It is the 9th inning.
