#$UAL *would* drop this on a Friday night wouldn’t they.

Funny how everything keeps leading back to this.

What if we just took over Idaho? We only need about 300K votes.

Thanks, Iowa.

ICE officers are taking DNA samples from protesters they've arrested

I still can’t get over this.

thanks to AI our slow and humiliating national suicide will be punctuated by visual media that is so good even a dog could jack off to it

Just noticed this.

Petition to launch them into orbit.

Bong bong!

It's a clear and sunny day in Chicago. ICE is out and about, with vehicles sighted across the city and suburbs. Berwyn Cicero Rapid Response just confirmed feds took two people from Cicero shortly after 8am.

get excited to hear about how austerity is the only way out of this, get ready for reports about gigantic transfers of wealth to a few hundred billionaires

From the patterns we saw last summer/fall and tonight’s flight path, it’s safe to expect potential immigration enforcement activity over the next day or two in these neighborhoods: 1. Lincoln Square / Edgewater / Rogers Park 2. Pullman / Roseland / Chatham (?)

Last week, I looked at how the initial $11 billion for the Iran war compared to the “savings” from DOGE. Appropriating $200 billion would mean that all of those “savings” — from things like saving lives and vaccinating kids — will be spent. www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

Kash Patel is more concerned with spying on American citizens than releasing the Epstein files.

Maybe this fall.

"I am professionally stupid in a way that a machine could never dream of."

Using prisoners for gladiator fights?

Our reporting on CBP agents Timothy Donahue, Edgar Vazquez and Michael Sveum is cited in this piece:

"I hoped they knew that we would always be a team." After 20 years of racing sled dogs, the author Blair Braverman took her pack into the wilderness for a final run as they faced retirement. nyti.ms/4sbKQZo

Mass transit and bike infrastructure is a national security issue. I'm both a pedant and a pedestrian.

Nasty increases across the board in the February PPI including a topline increase of 0.7% and a 1.1% advance in goods prices. On a year ago basis PPI is up 3.4% & PPI ex food, energy & trade is up 3.5%. #Econ #EconSky

Everyone already hates Musk in these parts. Data on the other socials would be sorta interesting.

Hey, I'll finally be able to watch my dumb YouTube shows in peace, where people get excited about digging for stuff.

One of the best to do it. The shows are archived and available for download.

Let's find Peters another seat.

Given the paltry number of voters in IL-09, I feel like I deserve some of that money, a free dinner or whatever.

“I told him, ‘I’m a U.S. citizen!’ He told me, ‘I don’t care.’” Everyone should read this account of an ICE raid on a home in Vermont. This is what secret police do. Great reporting from @sevendaysvt.bsky.social: www.sevendaysvt.com/news/teen-sh...

incredible work here

I sent my Canon FD 24mm f/2 off to be serviced, so I finally bought an adapter for this PK mount Tamron 28mm f/2.5 which was gifted by a relative. It's not that bad.

YouTube, at least, was flooded with anti-Kat attack ads. It'll be interesting to see whether that backfired.

My favorite personal Joe Kent moment was right after the 2020 election where I had to insist, plead, beg him to understand that the Supreme Court wasn't going to hold a jury trial to determine if the Italians had used secret satellites to steal the election.

The grim stuff you get when you open a new line.

My own take on Joe Kent is that he's a despicable Nazi who reached the right conclusion on Iran but did so partly because of his vile antisemitism, yet it's still a good development because it shows how Trump's base is further fracturing, which could hasten Trump's downfall Does that make sense?

Kent is pissed he can't do ethnic cleansing at home.

The Washington Post won a Pulitzer Prize for public service in 2022 for its coverage of Jan. 6. Their entry's capstone was a mammoth feature titled "The Attack," featuring reporting by 26 journalists. By my count, 8 of them are still at the paper. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

The invisible finger.

Thanks, Obama.

He didn't fall for anything.

"We have been here for nine months,” wrote the 9-year-old. “Please get us out.” "I miss my bear," the 5-year-old said. In letters & drawings, the longest-held family at the Dilley ICE detention center describe it as "slowly killing us on the inside." www.texastribune.org/2026/03/11/e...
