ICE is a much greater threat to this country than illegal immigrants. The current administration ia by far the greatest threat this country faces. The problem is not st our borders. It is in the White House.

Man, if the LAPD wants to dip out on doing some brutality with you, you really done fucked up

The spin has already started as if our entire city is in chaos. I went from Burbank all the way over to Koreatown on surface streets tonight and jackshit was happening. The CNN coverage makes it look like world war 3 and that’s what Trump wants so he and his fucking goons can come shoot Angelenos.

2002 me stares in disbelief as I repost this guy, but here we are

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

PHILLY:

Abolish Ice. Abolish Homeland Security. Abolish Private Prisons.

I bet it'd be easier for Americans to see ICE agents as just regular folks if they weren't, you know, wearing black masks and hiding their names and identities from the public out of shame.

Here are some texts I got from an immigration lawyer friend of mine. Shared with permission. Some of the bleakest shit I’ve ever heard.

If a Democrat takes Musk money I won't vote for them, it's that simple. Nope fuck you sorry done.

Johnathan Joss died a hero. He was murdered for being gay, he went out protecting his trans husband from being executed. They burned down their home and killed their pets and then they murdered Joss while trying to murder his husband. The New York times can barely muster "fatally shot." I hate this.

Typical noise gig lineup

if dems want messaging help, stop telling people you're "fighting back." it sounds like you're being mugged. call off the podcaster search, take your ridiculous money pile and try opening some food banks and free clinics. hurricanes are coming and the feds have no plan. looks like an opening to me.

Oh, Andor. How I wish we could have gotten five full seasons. I get that Star Wars is mostly for kids, but it'd be nice to have more Star Wars for grown ups too.

The church said it's terminating a decades-long partnership with the federal government to help refugees arriving in the U.S., citing moral opposition to resettling white Afrikaners from South Africa.

Wasn't bullied bad growing up, but what always hurt was people saying about my bully "Oh, he's really nice though!" as if it mattered. That's what bullies do – they treat people that they can get something out of like their best friends while stomping on the people who can't. How very Christian.

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”

i know the quote-unquote opposition doesn’t have the stomach for it but the only solution to this is complete abolition of ICE, exposing of all the pigs who are doing this, and swift trials and prosecution for their crimes against humanity. and this should be the moderate position

we live in a country where it's legit good news that the woman who's been in a gestapo prison for six weeks for writing an op-ed is being released on bail

Not all Star Wars has to be like Andor, but it could and should be

So cool that I got to see Pope Leo XIV upstairs at the old iO with Jazz Freddy and Blue Velveeta back in the day. Saw him jump on stage from the audience during a Zumpf set. Miles and Dan did NOT like that.

On Friday ICE agents stopped a bus in Albion, NY. They had a list of names, and took 14 people into custody Those workers—and their employer—happened to be involved in one of the most crucial labor struggles in the state in recent memory My latest @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2025/05/05/i...

I'm sorry but if you don't have enough fully functional neurons firing in your brain to have seen this coming from the beginning, I refuse to believe you can be trusted with any task or objective that requires more than a third-grade intellect. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/06/w...

as my friend @heyguys.bsky.social likes to say, 40 hours a week used to be able to support a family but it's just as important that 20 hours a week used to support an artist

I have memories of crowding around our dorm room reading some of these stories, like we had discovered some ancient and hilarious tome.

Forgive the earnest post here, but one year ago this week, Global Tetrahedron took over The Onion. We've since brought back the paper and ONN, dramatically increased revenue, and hired more writers and artists. But most importantly, as other places debased themselves, we refused to bend the knee.

idk seems bad

The ‘Piracy. It’s a Crime’ campaign used pirated music, *and* as it turns out, also used pirated fonts. Incredible.

love a senator imploring regular citizens to fight back against tyranny. dawg you spent the last twenty years giving machine guns and tanks to traffic cops this is like pushing your toddler into the ring with ivan drago

A very Texas thing is I thought eggs were on sale for $2 but they were cascarones

i am pretending pinhead said this
