"Under the annual appropriations act, lawmakers are permitted to enter 'any facility operated by or for DHS used to detain or otherwise house aliens.' The law is clear that members of Congress are not required 'to provide prior notice of intent to enter a facility'..." www.cnn.com/2025/05/10/p...

Guys I gotta be real, ever since taking over The Onion, I've been confounded by how much we still cover The Pope in 2025. It turns out it's because he worked in the Chicago office from 1994-1999. He wrote the headline "Area Man Dead of Fries."

As an offshoot of this thread, let’s talk about what happens if federal, state, or local officials text, email, call, or show up at your door wanting to talk to you about what you said about the President. I have a theme, a thesis, a throughline, a leitmotif, which is SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH. /1

Anyone who thinks we need a fascist dictator bescause somewhere a boy wants to be a girl or an immigrant wants to mow their lawn has confused others business with their own, private conduct with public interest, exclusivity with prosperity, and probably their own ass with a hole in the ground.

"Musk isn't going to obey the law, so who cares." "The Supreme Court will just throw out the case, so who cares." "Republicans aren't going to let us have elections, so who cares." I'm blocking these people on sight now. Doomerist defeatism isn't helping anyone here. Log off and touch grass.

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

If you're protesting tomorrow: "I invoke my rights to silence and counsel and will not answer questions without my attorney present." MEMORIZE THAT, because aside from asking if you're free to leave (or providing ID if you're in a stop and ID state), that's the ONLY thing you ever say to cops.
