Working in a business that occasionally has birds fly inside, has taught me that Starlings are assholes

Shouldn’t the NY Times headline note that this new policy breaks the law?

Padilla gave this speech on the floor pretty much as the news of Brad Lander's arrest in New York was breaking. Two Democratic lawmakers tackled and handcuffed by federal law enforcement in the span of a week.

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

The population of Greater Los Angeles is larger than the population of fourteen full STATES, COMBINED. 200 protestors on 3 blocks is not a fucking insurrection. We have film shoots for Nickelodeon bigger than this.

Nobody sane or emotionally developed and stable could want or enjoy this 'parade.' Nobody.

Getting coffee every morning and seeing this on the regular would be like living in an Oz book...and I want this

We love to see it.

So there's an ultra scary nugget buried in this horrible story. ICE is saying, repeatedly, they didn't do this raid. Local cops aren't *allowed* to do these types of raids. So who the fuck did this, if ICE isn't lying.

ART OF THE FOLD........

If I were a member of Congress I would have already introduced a bill prohibiting ICE agents from wearing face masks and requiring them to wear official identification at all times

It's not only breathtakingly corrupt, it's manifestly illegal, no matter what permission is received from a cowardly and compromised Department of Justice.

True story: When I was a contractor at a NASA facility I kept M&Ms on my desk. A civil servant I worked with ate a few one day. The next day I came in to find a pound bag on my desk. He wanted to "reimburse" me because he didn't want the few he ate to be seen as a gift. Anyway

I’m sorry I can’t get over the fact that the new Chicago pope is just a White Sox fan who loves shitposting about JD Vance. Am I Catholic now????

I don’t mean to alarm anyone, but the orcas now have two F/A-18 Hornets

Wanna hear about why I had to crawl into my trunk today? lol...

Taking a peek at the news & realizing how little I've been posting...I'll do better and think of something

Reporter: I was watching your face during the meeting.. what was going through your mind when the President talked about erasing the border.. Carney: I’m glad that you couldn’t tell what was going through my mind Reporter: Oh I could

*me, lying facedown on the bed, yelling into the mattress: "WHY DO THOSE OF US WHO DIDN'T FUCK AROUND ALSO HAVE TO FIND OUT"

‘Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’ One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.

does any thing normal ever happen any more is every thing just fuckin insane i am just asking

A horrible story but god bless this woman so accurately reading the ICE goons for filth here

What did I just watch?

OK...clearly I have to see Hsin now

Totally added large bottles of white vinegar to my grocery order today...

Holding this pic tight in my mind for when I have to hear him speak...

The FDA. The CFPB. The CDC. Just in the past couple of days. Man, we are going to collectively die so sick and so broke without massive and damn near immediate intervention.

Two posts in a row about ancient rocks...

There’s just so much shady shit in this story, but this really sticks out. Folks in NLRB’s IT unit were so freaked out by what they saw DOGE doing that they wanted to notify the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Then this happened:

OK...clearly I have to see Hsin now

Sean Spicer was ahead of his time. This White House press corps would’ve bought the inauguration crowd bullshit.

100% would watch a Pixar movie called Mr. Saddlebags

Here is how WaPo handled Dem's 10-day long effort to count every vote in PA vs. GOP's 5-month long effort to throw out thousands of votes in NC. Support independent, pro-democracy media.

Fascism and the unreality state it needs to exist are going to really accelerate their attacks on sensemaking and history. More specifically our ability to understand the past and its consequences on our present and future. Ai and digitization are knowledge destruction and monetization engines.

the accuracy

As a criminal defense attorney, the vast majority of my cases were NOT immigrants. So let's stop pretending immigrants are the problem when there's a 34-count convicted felon sitting in the White House. The hypocrisy is outrageous.

I love this with my WHOLE heart

They’re just transcribing whatever the dictator says at this point

This is going to end with us losing the right to drive isn't it...

We are so dumb...we already know so little actual history as a populace and we're only getting dumber as history books are further stripped. What TF are we doing

These assholes inherited an economy with 4 percent unemployment and inflation settling down in the 3 percent range. Oh, it's an economy that Joe Biden had set up for a fucking domestic manufacturing boom thanks to the CHIPS and Inflation Reduction Acts.
