In defending ICE against “Gestapo” allegations the other day, DHS posted on X: “Our message is clear: DO NOT come to this country illegally.” Don’t forget the US government gave Mahmoud explicit permission to live here with his wife, a dentist from Michigan. He got a little card and everything.

Funny, I can't recall Trump ever telling major corporations to "eat the costs" when it comes to raising workers' wages.

It isn’t even the lying. It’s that this an unnecessary, easily disproven lie in the service of an insane obsession from a delusional old man. It’s a demonstration that the head of the FBI will do anything for Trump, no matter how degrading.

may I offer you an egg in these trying times

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

Glad that both sides of the aisle could come together and agree on the Corruption Is Good Act.

A jury convicted a sheriff's deputy of a felony civil rights crime for assaulting the woman in this video. This week, the new Trump-appointed U.S. attorney in LA struck a rare "post-trial" plea deal that reduces his conviction to a misdemeanor and recommends probation only.

look this Times piece has its heart in the right place but I wouldn't open it with the lines "there's no miracle treatment for measles" because there is, it's the vaccine! and this article is very pro vaccine so I know this is a comparatively minor quibble but still

I agree. Destroying evidence can get you in a lot of trouble. On the other hand, people are effectively being given life sentences in a hellish foreign prison with no due process because of tattoos and hoodies. So I can certainly understand the humane inclination here.

Reddit has spent several days obsessed with an argument about 100 unarmed men vs a silverback gorilla, and I'm learning that a lot of people have no concept of how big a crowd that is and also think of gorillas can just crush heads forever like Omniman.

MORAN: What does it (the Declaration of Independence) mean to you? TRUMP: It means exactly what it says; it's a declaration of unity, love and respect and it means a lot. It's something very special to our country.

Every once in a while I think man, we were so close to never having to think about that motherfucker again, and then people said nah, let’s just ruin our lives instead

Stop screaming

there's a scene in Conspiracy, a movie about the Wannsee Conference where the Holocaust was planned, in which one Nazi asks everyone in the room with a law degree to raise their hands almost the whole room does you should not be framing your objections to this regime in terms of what is legal.

ONN won a Webby today for best comedy video show. I am extremely biased, but this might be our finest work yet.

The people who flip out about the very mention of red flag laws are mostly the same ones right now who are celebrating the incarceration of people into foreign concentration camps without due process. Consistent for the "gun community", I guess. :/

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

happy “love the band, hate the fans” day to all who celebrate
