"They're murdering citizens as a distraction." No. That isn't a distraction. That's the thing you need a distraction from. The truth is there are no distractions. There's a bunch of arrogant. Bigoted fools doing whatever they want with no fear of reprisal or repercussions.

Make it viral.

According to further news reporting, ICE also prevented an ambulance from reaching the woman.

Black folk will tell you: The 1st thing cops say after an incident is always a lie.🤷🏿‍♂️ They lie because there's upside in it for them, and no downside. No matter how many times they get caught lying, newspapers will print their next lie as the gospel truth.🤡 And people stop caring before truth hits

ICE Vows To Restore Order Using Whatever Force Unnecessary

My kitchen table issue is “don’t shoot people at their kitchen tables”

Where the hell are Google and Apple enforcing their app store terms of service on X? Grok doing CSAM should instantly be a removal from the app store. Any other app doing this would be pulled instantly. Journalists should be asking for comment from these companies.

Do not let the failures of prosecution post January 6th happen again. Every second you do not charge this person is a second the massive propaganda apparatus around the federal government will use to create a fog of lies to get him off. Arrest him immediately for killing an American citizen.

Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis. Say bad things are bad.

The people employing whataboutism today are literally dangerous people. Do not engage.

ICE policy requires the use of bodyworn cameras. Video should be available from every agent who was involved in the death of a citizen in Minneapolis. ICE should release all of that video so the public can have clarity about the Secy's claim the shooting was self defense. www.ice.gov/news/release...

In any event: remember that the real race in NY-12 is the primary, because whoever is the Democrat on the ballot is the one who will win. Conway is running to push out Democrats, not to beat a Republican.

Just a reminder that George Conway is not fundraising right now to run against a MAGA republican. He is fundraising to run against progressive Democrats.

This is a very concise statement of the case. The district Conway is running in is one where Dems regularly win with 90% of the vote. We elected one of the most liberal members of congress over and over when I was a kid, and re-elected him one more time after he died, just for good measure.

Remember, kids: if a Boomer (or a Gen-Xer) tries to invalidate your concerns by telling you that, back in their day, they had it worse and "didn't complain," the only acceptable response is: "Why didn't you complain?! You coward. You craven shit. If you complained, maybe they'd have fixed it!"

So, Texas A&M is telling its professors they can't teach Plato...in a philosophy course? And we're still supposed to take Texas A&M seriously as a university?

In short, every shithead you don't ban costs you ten other customers. "A [potentially regular] customer doesn't say anything but never comes back" doesn't register with you as An Event the way that kicking someone out (temporarily or permanently) does, so it's extremely easy to miss it.

Synopsis: You need to kick more people out. You will actually have a larger base of customers/attendees if you kick more people out. You will make more money. I am dead serious.

An aside... doesn't this mean that twitter now owns a LOT of child porn?

I read the hell out of David Eddings as a kid. Finding out about him and his wife gutted me.

I have to wonder what level of Philsophy this is. Phil 101? No mention of Plato?

There we go. That there’s a headline.

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

Glad to see The Onion is closely following #aas247 😂

BREAKING: Abortion will remain legal in Wyoming after the state Supreme Court struck down laws, including the first U.S. ban on pill abortions.

Highly recommend this graphic novel for the young nerd in your life. The book is based on a wild but little known industrial accident in Louisiana in 1980, when drilling for an oil well intersected a salt mine... under a lake. By it from your local bookshop: bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

A side story is there’s a ton of insider trading on these prediction markets. New accounts making hundreds of thousands on their first and only trade, that maduro would be ousted. Seems like insider trading is legal if not encouraged on these platforms

Now that it's been confirmed that the military will carry out illegal orders from the felon, has anyone else wondered what his next illegal order to the military will be? Has anyone else wondered if this was a test that the felon gave the military to see if they would act?

The members who did the "don't follow illegal orders" video absolutely need to immediately do a "hey these were the illegal orders we were talking about and participating in them can expect to face consequences to the fullest extent of the law" video

But what if Maduro’s involvement in the drug trade was an “official act”?

DON'T go broke, go woke.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.
