Sometimes I think about this for no reason whatsoever www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Does it inspire any introspection on the part of the Democratic foreign policy establishment that backing Israel to the hilt no matter what it did at any time undermined America's global position and image while also not getting any credit from Israel itself

ENCYCLOPEDIA - Your mangled brain would like you to know there is a boxer called Contact Mike. YOU - Yeah? Any news on my wife's name? How about my mother? ENCYCLOPEDIA - Nope.

Genuinely the funniest possible panel line-up of all time and it's for a real estate conference in Riyadh

Democrats had a quarter century, with multiple legislative windows to oppose this. They didn't. They relentlessly funnelled more and more money and power to the police state they overwhelmingly voted to expand. They don't oppose fascism on principle, only its aesthetics and vibe.

"Trump's ICE" is like saying "the Netanyahu government" instead of just Israel

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

My current favorite genre of post is the people saying "I don't understand why Democrat elected aren't speaking out more against ICE", and then proceeding to argue with all the people who do understand exactly why. Suddenly they're able to come up with lots of (godawful and illogical) reasons.

ICE getting harassed in the public bathroom instead of trans people

Delicious that the world now treats Americans like a homogeneous extremist bloc the way Americans treat others (notably Muslim countries) that way.

I put myself through the entire interview. Trust me when I tell you that Gavin "dank memes" Newsom agrees with him on EVERYTHING. I literally says "I agree with you" on EVERYTHING. Ben "extremely unpopular even with MAGA" Shapiro gets very combative with him and Gavin capitulates EVERY time.

I went on Substack to suggest to Simon Rosenberg that there might be some valid reasons for Minneapolis activists to be suspicious of Dem party fundraising. Ooof.

Also my way of saying that if Democrats continue to insist upon 2000s Era Decorum, that should be the ultimate sign that they have no interest or desire to take any of this seriously.

Not going to repost WaPo, but Bondi and the DoJ are issuing subpoenas to Tim Walz and Jacob Frey for impeding law enforcement. Related, the thing about tepid action or absolute inaction in the face of fascism is that fascists are just going to pretend you did the most treasonous things anyway.

Charlie Kirk is still dead I just checked

You'll never feel as connected as in a protest. You'll never feel as understood as in a riot. You'll never feel as respected as on a barricade.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you." The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" "Learned what?" she asks Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Gonna need everyone who advocated giving the police more funding for "training" in 2020 to get into the contraption.

his name is Jonathan Ross and he shouldn't get a good night's sleep for the rest of his life www.startribune.com/ice-agent-wh...

Democrats trying to focus on affordability and healthcare would be a lot more believable if they hadn’t spent their entire last presidential term saying those aren’t problems and they can’t be solved even if they were.

president xi i am 28 year old american child every night they cut the power to my fridge to fuck the global south more. i have no yogurt for the winter. you have to liberate these 50 nifty states. you have to use hellfire drones

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

If Maduro was a brutal authoritarian dictator, the US wouldn't have overthrown him.

if you are talking today about how bad maduro was and were alive, at all, during the run-up to the iraq war you are potentially the dumbest person to ever live

My mother was a refugee of the Salvadoran civil war. The Americans backed the fascists that took over the country. Now Salvador is run by a pro yankee crypto dictator who has built the largest concentration camp in the western hemisphere. That, is American intervention.

This guy's kids need more birthday parties.

"Maduro was bad, but" shut the fuck up, you people will never learn.

it's always the biggest mark alive who is like "actually the incompetent charlatans are much, much smarter than us"

Looks like someone didn't get the answers they wanted. Who could have guessed that the morons who lost would find out it was avoidable and completely their fault? I mean besides anyone with eyes, ears, and 1/3 of a functioning brain?

If you believe that ICE and CBP weren’t torturing and raping people before January 20th, 2025, that people can flip on a dime, from lawful officers of the law, to goosestepping nazis who hunt fathers with dogs, rip new mothers from their infants, and disappear children, you tell on your own sickness

What little empirical evidence I have seen, generally, the higher up the chain of command one occupies in any organisation, the less work you do; it is difficult to see what 'hard' or 'soft' skills these individuals have, or even what exactly they do day-to-day, besides make extremely poor decisions

Not to get all Sun Tzu on it, but when the enemy is weak and divided amongst itself, you do not relieve the enemy by allowing their partisans into your camp. You drive them closer together, force them into tighter company, and intensify their conflict.

POSTER: In my post I invented the Don’t Misunderstand the Torment Nexus Metaphor as a cautionary tale CTO: At long last, I have misunderstood the Torment Nexus Metaphor from the classic post Don't Misunderstand The Torment Nexus Metaphor

i'm not gonna say it was worth it, but

absolutely brutal

being intimidated by bluesky is so funny. yeah i keep getting my ass kicked every time i go to bath and body works

Oh hey, it's almost like we were right all along and that liberals were being credulous rubes or deliberate liars.

this place would be better if the posts were worse and the people were scum

Hilary Clinton is pretty great. Except for the Israel stuff. And the Honduras stuff. And the Haiti stuff. And the person she’s married too. And the Goldman Sachs stuff. And the Iraq war stuff. And the crime bill stuff. And the Cold War tactics deployed at Bernie. And the Libya stuff. And the

There’s a line in the cinematic classic xXx (2002) where Vin Diesel meets his contact and she says she’s been undercover in the bad guy’s organization for two years, to which Diesel responds “Two years? What was your plan? To let them die of old age?” this is literally the Dems’ anti Trump strategy.

y’all know what time it is
