The regime announces that it will target opposition cities using its paramilitary forces. The next day, those forces arrest an opposition politician. brooklyn.news12.com/federal-agen...

Also, do we think that Trump has any idea how many people live in Tehran? I think there's a pretty good chance he has no idea it's a city of 10 million people and instead thinks it's like a desert village or something

Just so we're clear: this is Trump acknowledging that the deportations are bad And then turning around and ordering them to escalate in the places his supporters don't live

If you could show this front page to everyone on November 4th, does the presidential election turn out differently?

If senate democrats allow *anything* to move in the senate after this without requiring republicans to pay for every single inch with every single procedural trick in the book.... Their demand should be very simple: Noem resigns and you get the senate back.

You know that's fucking right

I think this is right. The democrats are much better at legislative politics than mass politics

So first things first, you gotta try a little harder guys. Like you gotta be a little creative with your insults at least. Give me something I haven't heard before. But second of all, telling that TikTok thinks these comments are fine to post. But my reply would "violate community guidelines"

RFK does not actually want to make America healthy

I know we've said it for a long time, but right now, in this very specific moment where the president is deploying troops to an American city, people are actually truly revealing what they would have done in Germany in the 1930s This is no longer an academic exercise

Stan is completely right here. If this were happening in any other country, our media would magically be able to report on it as if what is happening were actually happening

I'm sorry but this is so incredibly fucking bleak. We have the president deploying the national guard and active duty troops to an American city and the media is treating it like a GAME

So true. We shouldn't make it easier for people to live in the places that have more economic opportunities for them because that wouldn't be fair to the places they want to move from. Sarah was born in Oklahoma went to college in Chicago, and now lives in DC, on a totally unrelated note.

With ICE arresting a democratic staffer, using flash bangs on protestors in San Diego, and detaining high school students...feels like we are dangerously close to the wheels fully coming off this bus

This is one of the most detestable things I've ever seen

I think it's important for all Americans to go to courthouses and video ICE officers arresting people. Politically speaking, the more normie you are, the better it is for our side when you're arrested.

You did vote to deport moms actually. You just didn't think it would be moms you like.

I keep getting commercials for an upcoming country music festival in the Temecula Valley and I just need to know whose targeting algorithm is off because jeeeez it's getting annoying

I can't speak for Jamelle obviously, but as someone who also gets this treatment and is baffled by it...really feels like what gets me called a centrist (among other things) is when I merely acknowledge certain political realities

Incredible things are happening on TikTok. "You talk to me like I don't have knowledge about the topic" The topic of course being the very real behavior of vampires.

One of the things about left-NIMBYs that really irritates me is how they just pretend that no one in the pro-housing camp supports things like social housing or good cause eviction protections when YIMBY orgs actively sponsor laws to do those things. It's maddening

Until I went to college fully in another country, I didn't know that "may gray" and "June gloom" were like a specific California thing. I thought it just happened everywhere

It feels like *so* many shows these days can be roughly summarized as "rich people behaving badly" and I just do not love the genre tbh

I have a lot of European friends, and I feel like I am reasonably plugged into and understand many of the euro/america difference. But I simply do not understand the cultural power of Eurovision. Just simply doesn't do anything for me 🫠
