With this budget, ICE alone would have nearly as large a detention operation as all 50 states' prison systems combined. Bigger budget than the Marine Corps. Police-state levels of spending

this court says that allowing EPA to regulate carbon emissions is a "major question" that demands congressional debate. but allowing the president to, with a flick of the wrist, end a straightforward constitutional right is something that must be allowed to stand?

It’s not simply doing this, or doing it without congressional approval, or doing it without explanation of risks, or doing it without declaration of war, or doing it on behalf of an ally mid-genocide. It’s the fickleness that suggests what’s to come. Rule, war, death by his whim.

I am begging people not to look to the NYT for coverage of what's happening. The BBC, Le Monde, Ajazeera and others will have more truthful coverage.

hey panera can we have the lemonade that kills us again

From Hunter S. Thompson’s ESPN page 2 column one week after 9/11.

They have made the world living hell for no reason whatsoever. People will ask why this happened in a decade and there will be tremendous effort to make it more complicated than “they were evil, stupid, and bored”

between this and bans on gender affirming care, the message couldn't be clearer: they want trans people to die whether they've transitioned or not. death through neglect has always been america's favorite form of genocide. same thing we did with AIDS and continue to do with homelessness

Helicopters. Armed troops wearing masks. All for a freaking military-grade raid at a flea market that appears to have resulted in two measly arrests. DHS and ICE are out of control. ktla.com/news/local-n...

They've arrested or tackled and handcuffed: * Judge * US Senator * Congresswoman * Mayor * City Comptroller/Mayoral Candidate

A top staffer to Sen. Tina Smith emailed Sen. Mike Lee’s top staffers on Monday about “how much additional pain you’ve caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend” Full emails below

Yesterday, I met with a 12 year old boy in Oxnard, CA. His mom and dad have been fieldworkers for over 20 years. ICE agents snatched his parents from the fields and left this boy alone with no clue when he’ll see them again. A 6th grader.

Senator Alex Padilla is one of the most decent people I know. This is outrageous, dictatorial, and shameful. Trump and his shock troops are out of control. This must end now.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

Statistically “America” is its cities. But we’re stuck with an 18th century political architecture that gives votes to cornfields & thus makes it politically viable to treat them as some kind of weird tumor.

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.

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

Whether it's a random liberal nobody praising Luigi on Facebook or a Republican cabinet nominee calling for genocide against all non-whites, there's plenty of incendiary rhetoric on both sides.

So what we have is a government that is intentionally starving a captive population to the point of desperation, seizing control of the food and claiming their military is the only entity trustworthy enough to distribute it, and then killing them when they get too close.

@grubb.wtf at 7:59 in this video I think there is a good clean read and critical addition to any @danryckert.com sound board. youtube.com/watch?v=0KtO...

They blame pollution but cut the EPA and clean air and water regulations. They blame poor nutrition but cut SNAP and programs to bring local produce to schools. They blame increased screen time while destroying public infrastructure that connects people. All while they take millions off healthcare.

Imagine having Tyrese Haliburton on your favorite basketball team! Must be nice.

Andor is about how a blogger, who is dedicated to open-source software and Right to Repair, saves the galaxy.

WHAT THE FUCK

Walker has to be better for the Giants in the ninth, but that blown strike three call by Diaz on the 3-2 pitch to Trout was HUGE.

fun historical fact: among the core political forces in the development of mass incarceration was the "Victims' Rights Movement". Its first major legislative national legislative victory was under President Reagan. The prison population doubled under his administration.

If you missed this from a few weeks ago like I did this Korean lunch with Yaz, Matos, and JHL is a very fun watch. @sfgiants.com youtube.com/watch?v=8Sy_...

🚨 JUNG HOO LEE GOES YARD 🚨

Jokic is a great player, but he flops like a fuckin fish.

City Connect 2025: The Remix - A uniform layered with movement, rhythm, and reinvention

I actually really like the look of the new @sfgiants.com city connect uniforms!

MLB in Sacramento.

Also, a woman was handcuffed at a subway station in NYC (Franklin Ave) when she intervened asking why a delivery man was asked to show work permit by undercover agents. There is a video of that.

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

"don't make the content they'll play at your Nuremberg trial" is the advice I would give

every person involved in this needs to be in prison

Watching Kings basketball.

Insane how much consecutive reviews sap the energy from a great basketball game.
