It is not a coincidence that most of the videos you see of ICE agents using excessive force seem to feature unarmed women half their size. 🙃

Illinois Republicans literally made an attack ad against JB Pritzker that makes him look better 😏

Watching "The Last of Us" season 2 and wondering again why people in post-apocalyptic shows and movies never use *bikes*. Instead of *walking* across the country at a speed that is the same as the zombies, or trying to scavenge car parts and gas, fucking *bike*.

ICE has been obscuring their faces one way or another for almost as long as the organization has existed. This isn't a Trump thing, it's an ICE thing.

Trump says the White House was "told by ABC that (Kimmel's) show was cancelled." He is now vowing to use the government to go after ABC over allowing Kimmel back on the air, and is citing ABC's previous decision to cave to his bullshit lawsuit and give him $16 million.

Evangelical Christians genuinely believe that "witchcraft" and demon possession is real. My mom was once told she had "Janis Joplin demons" IN HER HAIR. Remember these are the same people who brought us the Satanic Panic. They still think it was real.

I'm joining the war on Autism on the side of Autism.

Pritzker: "This is a person who thinks that his personal will should be imposed on the United States. That's not how it works."

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.

The number of people in these replies who think the Amish never shop at Walmart and ony eat the purest, healthiest, most wonderful food is astounding.

Ok, I'm heading back to YouTube to watch dumb videos that are still smarter than this shit.

Protesters briefly stop a vehicle and make it turn around, agents step out and fire a pepper balls while another shoved them from in front of the vehicle.

The scene at Broadview today is calm, no sights of federal agents other than the occasional car going in the front gate. A UHaul truck was backed into the side garage earlier. About a dozen protesters are holding signs, dancing to Mexican music and yelling “shame” when agents enter/exit.

"In a landmark study, OpenAI researchers reveal that large language models will always produce plausible but false outputs, even with perfect data, due to fundamental statistical and computational limits." www.computerworld.com/article/4059...

admitting that you, an elected representative, have been intimidated by violent threats into changing your legislative stance is a phenomenal way to get roughly 2000x more threats of violence whenever anyone disagrees with anything youre set to vote for

Post has been removed on reddit, but I just want to say that this would be 100% death through medical neglect, even moreso than letting your kid die from tetanus. If you're ever in this situation there are some horrifying videos on YouTube of people dying from rabies that you can show your spouse.

And if you decide “I don’t want to be in the tent that’s opposed to bodily autonomy” well then you’re just a purist with too many tests.

Updates on this front from Chicago NLG: three protestors arrested before 1 p.m. today have been cited and released; at least one more arrest confirmed as of 5 p.m.

👀

this video is actually WORSE than the Kat Abughazelah video, because they just KEEP attacking her over and over and then one of them (briefly) puts her in a choke hold, which is a prohibited move for most police departments *and the federal DOJ*

Left-Wing Group Too Disorganized For FBI Agents To Infiltrate https://theonion.com/left-wing-group-too-disorganized-for-fbi-agents-to-infi-1848923025/

It cannot be overstated how much ICE and Border Patrol have no goddamned clue what they're doing when it comes to crowd control. They literally don't know how to handle citizens exercising their rights.

This is white supremacist. Fuck the Black people in the southern states, right? Blue MAGA wants to get back to brunch!

Love how they block me for asking this kind of question.

What’s at stake here is free speech. Across the board, we’ve seen the Trump administration use the power of government to go after anybody who’s criticized them — and in this case, Jimmy Kimmel. We need to all stand up and speak out.

a key reason they see an opening for such a blatant speech crackdown is that they already did one to Palestinian and anti-genocide activists and it got enthusiastic bipartisan approval

There’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for people to build on the rubble of what’s being destroyed before our eyes. Private corporations bending over to forcefeed everyone government-approved speech is evil and amoral, but more than anything this creates boring, inauthentic, unwatchable shit.

All of ABC's advertisers need to bail immediately.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Remember that one protest where an officer got assaulted and so Louisiana charged DeRay McKesson who they said was the leader of the protest and therefore legally responsible for injuries other people caused? Cops are not rational. The Trump administration is not rational. Why help them identify you

My family escaped Ukraine from the pogroms and were lucky enough to escape to the US. They took my family in — we had nothing and offered nothing, but a desire to get ahead and be free while being safe. This is a country of immigrants, and we should be honoring that history.

Sharing my favorite Robert Redford story here. www.latimes.com/archives/la-...

The amount of shit I got for this segment at the time was astronomical, and it was all from people who now stalk CVS employees to get them fired for insufficient online sadness. Cheering on political violence is both evil and not new, an outgrowth of an internet intentionally dismantled years ago.

damn!

It may be distasteful but it is not illegal to mock someone's death and it should not warrant arrest, ever. The 1st Amendment exists specifically to protect disfavored speech and what is happening now is one of the greatest threats to free speech in the United States.

if anyone's up for reporting antisemitism to...everyone who should care, this Greek Orthodox Christian church is fearmongering that The Jews are going to get their livestreams banned. Also TW for CSAM, not taking pedophilia seriously, general Xtian religious bullshit. youtu.be/OmTnQQcpZyE?...

Jokes aside, there is ZERO defensible space around this house.

This is my estimate for an MRI with contrast I'm getting in a couple of weeks. If I pay in advance I get a 10% discount. This is with a "gold" level PPO plan.

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

Quite possibly one of the most brutal ratios I've ever seen.

Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."

With alt text 'cause there's some stuff in here I didn't know before.

there's a weird feedback loop where the media's reaction to kirk's death pushes you to speak more ill of the dead than you otherwise would because it's the only reasonable response to the simpering praise they're heaping on him

the best response to Trump remains telling him to fuck off loudly and clearly appeasement doesn’t work in general but it very explicitly does not work on that guy

stormfront isn't going to like this.
