"Are we the baddies?", I ask as I attempt to arrest a member of the most universally liked profession in the world.

I'm gonna become the first guy to walk out of family court sentenced to death

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

He’s just describing The American Dream but you’re supposed to hate it for some reason

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here. (clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)

Local police departments, who have taken a huge credibility hit since George Floyd and the related protests, could do a lot to prove to their constituents that they exist to serve and protect if they would show resistance to these violent unconstitutional thugs.

Before it leaves Tubi, I'm watching GALAXY QUEST, the movie with the highest cast to movie aspiration ratio of all time.

One thing I struggle with is, how long is halftime really. Can I watch a show before the game starts again?

I like the new thing with self-serve gas station pumps where it asks "do you want a receipt?" and then it's like lol jk nope

So long, David Robertson. One of my favorite Yankees from the 2010s.

It's illegal right now you fucking dope.

Oh shit RIP Catherine O’Hara. I wasn't a Schitt's Creek fan but she was awesome in everything I ever saw her in.

I keep hearing the same argument from MAGA: "What about all the citizens murdered by illegals". Then get a warrant and go arrest them! Don't patrol the streets terrorizing everyone, arresting children at schools and US citizens because you don't know who to arrest. See the difference?

Finally got around to a bit of research I'd been meaning to explore, and: There is no documented instance of an ICE officer being identified and assaulted while off duty because he wasn't masked. www.pbump.net/o/ices-excus...

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable. Biden himself said they were fabricated! www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

“Refugees have a legal right to be in the United States, a right to work, a right to live peacefully — and importantly, a right not to be subjected to the terror of being arrested and detained without warrants or cause in their homes or on their way to religious services…” said Judge John R. Tunheim

They stole his Spidey backpack.

What is your enforcement mechanism, Chuck?

I, a juror, am definitely going to believe the guys with their backs turned.

Holy moly this chart: Cumulative US measles cases

In Printz v. United States, #SCOTUS held that the Constitution bars the federal government from forcing or otherwise compelling local or state governments to enforce federal law. The liberal squish who wrote the majority opinion in that case? Justice Antonin Scalia: tile.loc.gov/storage-serv...

The way I bond with my 6th grade girls basketball team is to ask for the most recent gossip. The other day one of the girls asked if I wanted the tea. I feel like I have their trust.

Is this bad www.axios.com/2026/01/20/i...

Bezos spent $40 million on this, of which $28 million was a direct gift to the Trunp family, plus another $35 million marketing blitz for a propaganda clunker absolutely nobody could have believed would recoup even a small fraction of that cost. It is a flat bribe, right out in public.

ICE deported a 5-year-old US citizen to Honduras, where she had never been, after holding her & her mother in a hotel room 80 miles from home for several days and not allowing them access to a lawyer www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Look, it was either skull measurers at CBS or the ominous threat of pronouns

One thing I found deeply moving about resistance in the Twin Cities was the universalism of loving your neighbor, the philosophy driving the opposition to the ICE/BP invasion. I couldn't help but notice the contrast with the blood and soil-ism of Miller and Vance. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Video from this morning shows ICE agents deploying tear gas outside a Minneapolis preschool as parents shout, “This is a preschool! There’s kids here!”

getting feds to say shit like this on camera with their face exposed is NUTS -- you can not reform this agency, everyone involved must go, there is no practical way to root out all of these guys

Blergh

Body cams are definitely going to fix this.

We profiled refugees who: Arrived in the country legally. Applied for green cards. Were arrested by ICE and detained. One refugee who was arrested found out they got their green card after being released. This is an unprecedented operation. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/26/u...

That scene in SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION when they give Andy a few books to shut him up but he keeps going and gets a whole library. Don't stop. We want the whole library. Get the whole library.

Sorry to be posting a lot of movie reviews during this tumultuous time, and especially for this one but I am CACKLING at the end of BUGONIA. It was already a level of weird that I love but then I realized (before it happened) that it was going to another level and wow. Just amazing.

ICE is changing tactics in Maine: "Now, the volunteers in Maine say federal agents have started showing up at their homes and intimidating them or threatening arrest. Some of them, masked and wearing tactical gear, have issued stark warnings not to follow them." www.pressherald.com/2026/01/23/i...

Stephen Miller's wife is currently getting ratio'd for not understanding what the words "liberal" and "democracy" mean.

The execution of Alex Pretti is playing so badly because you can look at his actions and life story - his last act was helping, boy scout, athlete, health care worker to veterans - and compare those to the men who killed him and know which you would want to be your son, brother, father, uncle.

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember: - Organized a city wide general strike - Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence - Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE - Flipped public opinion against ICE

Lazy Sunday Tubi movie was GOON, the 2011 Seann William Scott hockey movie. It starts off really annoying - like Scott's character is too stupid, his buddy is too annoying, his teammates too cookie cutter - but somehow grows into it, gets funnier, and becomes a decent sports film.

Was talking to mom tonight and she was almost despairing about things so I told her what I've been seeing from the people of Minnesota. These are the bravest people in this country right now. There is hope.

Me when the QB ends up checking down for a 7-10 yard gain: this is false advertising

Target Center dunkers wear “ICE OUT” t-shirts

Santa Cruz, by Peter Doig, 2025

I felt like they lost the game on that play (which is obviously kind of dramatic) but now with the weather like it is those free points were monumental

Saying to someone that if they had been the tank commander in Tiananmen Square they'd have run over the protester was always little more than something you'd say in an internet argument but, well, there it is.

Reminds me of Gregor Clegane's terror campaign in A CLASH OF KINGS.
