Plenty of reason to abolish CBP entirely, but let's add to the list "facilitating trafficking of minors for sex."

Wacky comedy group The Slipnutz open for Slipknot at the Meadowlands Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey (2005)

“Yo, why is everyone’s dick so dry?”

The Free Press is discovering new levels of Telling On Yourself that scientists previously thought could not exist

Tfw there’s an unlimited apps special

a man in Oklahoma was speaking out against a data center in his community. He went a few seconds over time and the city had him arrested for trespassing

still the funniest thing I’ve ever had an account banned on any platform for

there's "don't judge others parenting" meaning making them a separate kids supper or whether to give them sugary drinks and then there's "will you use modern medicine to keep your kids from dying"

One of the things that personally drives me crazy in the U.S. is how youth sports/athletic activities went from a part of the public good (municipal leagues and fields! rec centers! public parks!) to a privatized, expensive, highly competitive, highly structured pursuit for wealthy kids’ résumés

I’m not up on medical ethics, but if I were involved in treating this child, I would take EVERY FUCKING OPPORTUNITY to tell her “you did this to him; this IS your direct fault” No sanitizing shit. Full on in your face truth. It’s child abuse straight up.

ME: Clavicular tried to give some advice but gets Dairygooned by a bunch of gymcel ASU Freshman Moids who couldnt get any foids Do you think these guys were just trying to jestermax and jestergoon Clav because he was on stream? NURSE AT THE PSYCH WARD: Under Section 5150 you have been involuntar

an AR-15 costs less than two sticks of RAM. this is a market economy establishing an incentive structure

“my children might see the children I voted to put in shackles, how shall they grow up”

CO2 is what plants crave (also a healthy dose of H2SO4 why not)

one thing that gives me a little optimism is that most people seem to be coming around to the idea that soaking the rich won’t necessarily solve budget deficits, which is true, but understand that soaking them isn’t about solving budget problems

being literally wealthier than kings and monarchical dynasties with no corresponding social obligations is extremely corrosive to both the individual and the body politic, and taking 95% of everything elon musk has would be better for him, personally.

If the US had a Congress, it would be raising hell over the president ignoring Congress’s war powers and preparing to start another Middle East war without authorization or even debate. Except the Republican majority doesn’t want the US to have a Congress, so it effectively doesn’t.

Still can't get over how there's a whole civilization with a capital city at least as big as Pompeii buried deep under miles of volcanic rock from the biggest eruption in like 10,000 years on Lombok in Indonesia and all we know about them is that they existed till they were destroyed

he was suspended for adding "protector"

1. The president is burning up the American middle class with the largest tax increase since the early 1990s, which itself is snowballing the price of everything from coffee to clothes to carpets to car parts. Yet this isn’t a major, ongoing, attention-grabbing story.

Remember Trump’s past talk about abolishing the income tax and replacing it with tariff income? It sounds outlandish, but it’s rooted in a longstanding effort on the US right to replace progressive taxation with regressive taxation, while starving the parts of the government that help the non-rich.

So, the editors were either purposefully allowing Bruenig to muddy the waters, or they didn't bother to ask if her story was true and YIKES man. That's really not good

aside from being a right-wing ideological project, substack’s entire goal is to trap writers and readers in their platform. it sucks to use, it sucks be a reader of. a worse user interface, worse fee breakdown for writers, and directly supporting nazi blogs. ditch it.

As the pedophile führer's ICE Nazis are ordered to release people they've kidnapped, they do it in the dead of night to make sure it's as cruel and brutal as possible. Fortunately, compassionate Patriots are there to meet them and make sure they're ok and driven to their homes.

"free/cheap/non-toxic youth sports" feels like one of those skeleton keys that would have knock-on effects accidentally fix 100 unrelated things about America or, you know, even if it didn't, at least a bunch of kids would be able to have fun playing sports

NBC ran a piece where Mary Carrillo went to Norway to find out why they're so good at the Winter Olympics and i was yelling BECAUSE IT'S COLD THERE then she went to a little tiny ski jump for kids and was like "it's free, equipment is provided, & they don't emphasize results" and i was like. oh!

all this stuff makes much more sense if you understand “anti wokeness” as a general backlash to elite accountability more generally, even if you have criticisms of left wing egalitarianism bsky.app/profile/kevi...

Spanberger and Mamdani are really good “better things are possible” templates for both wings of the Democratic Party Spanberger: code as moderate while retaining left support, then govern ruthlessly Mamdani: code leftist, but have a Carney-esque ability to drop unpopular leftist positions

Okay, this is quite outstanding from Bedford Council.

These folks have so thoroughly dishonored themselves and their institutions that not even death can wipe away the stain of their dishonor.

Every administrator, every board of trustees, every president, chancellor who bent the knee to Trump and his cronies should immediately be stripped of their position and driven from their institutions.

Let’s keep in mind there WAS a deal, which Trump blew up solely because Obama’s team negotiated it. All this waste is a monument to one decrepit sociopath’s massive ego.

Trump genuinely has a head full of mashed potatoes and zero understanding of how literally anything (outside of sexual assault and real estate fraud) work yet it's curiously not a consistent throughline in establishment press narratives

Just amazing that on the same day that an ex-president gets life in prison for leading an insurrection, a prince is arrested for his ties to Jeffrey Epstein It can't happen here

i was told the affordability crisis is fabricated for online clout though

"excuse me sir, there must be some mistake- i voted to create the camps, not live in the zone of interest" is like every trump voter

Everyone in the "PR emails" business has seen a huge uptick in low-effort AI spam in the past couple years, but this is the first time in my experience that someone has setup their AI agent so incorrectly that it is emailing me the overnight business updates it's supposed to be sending home.

Brazil’s Jair Bolsonaro is in prison for plotting a coup. Korea’s former President Yoon Suk Yeol was sentenced to life in prison today for insurrection. Prince Andrew was arrested today for misconduct in Jeffrey Epstein's world. It's time for America to hold Trump accountable for the same crimes.

*sighing, dusting off the meme*

How is a monarchy holding their own accountable before we make a move in the USA? What happened to American Exceptionalism ™️ and why aren’t we all on the streets of DC and outside every congresspersons home demanding change

The brunchlord establishment press hates progressives (especially female) exponentially more than fascism and it's simply not subtle

This is an excellent political statement

The Atherstone Ball Game, a Shrove Tuesday tradition since 1199. The rules: stay on the street and don’t kill anyone. The ball is thrown at 3pm; whoever is holding it at 5pm wins.

The only video game mod ever needed was the one that turned the dragons in Skyrim into Macho Man Randy Savage

"Is there a technology that the left is excited about???"

Knowing this is useful because filtration camps are typically military operations. Combining this approach with the Navy WEXMAC contract, we can see how the administration is deliberately trying to inject military models into immigrant arrest and detention as they move to expand the camp system.

Remembering when I ran into a Trump volunteer in Scranton right before the election who told me he backed Trump because he wanted to keep his grandson out of war and then it turned out that he was also a former GOP legislator who'd been convicted of perjury related to campaign finance violations.
