protect your eyes, protect your head. "less lethal" munitions are lethal when fired directly at a human being and cops love to use them this way. pepperballs will take your eye out, a tear gas canister can fracture your skull. cops will kill you on purpose and by accident, all with impunity.

Alex Jones spent the last 30 years being like "MARTIAL LAW IS COMIN BECAUSE THE DEEP STATE JADE HELM ILLUMINATIIII" and now it's here and his place could not be more in favor of it.

it’s like we’re being governed by an email that starts with FW: FW: FW: FW:

Elon Musk perfectly laying out the case against privatization in a single tweet

When Joe Biden did stuff like this, Fox would play the clips over and over like it was as significant as the moon landing

Wow, I didn’t know that his mom is Mira Nair, the filmmaker.

Will there be expansions where I can cry in other rooms?

The ICE protests are rightly getting more attention, but let’s give a shoutout to some (different) Nazis, who tried to steal guns and ammo from a military base, and were immediately caught because one of them left a backpack and (I assume red) hat, both with his name written on it.

If I hear one of you motherfuckers say that Mark Cuban is a good billionaire or Mark Cuban should run for President,

This whole tournament is a giant cash grab. To participate and not take care of the players is pretty shameful.

I'm sorry but this is hilarious there is a blue dinosaur bumbling around in front of the National Guard at the LA "riots." Absolutely humiliate these fuckers please. Come and play the tuba.

begging white liberals to read MLK’s Letter From Birmingham Jail before speaking his name in relation to any protest for civil and human rights. www.csuchico.edu/iege/_assets...

I genuinely feel like I'm going insane when I read a story like this. What are you talking about

This is absolutely delightful

Gonna bake these and then walk around New York with one slice in each hand going “now dis is da real New York right here”

Yes. I have heard this from both liberal and conservative people with sources inside the agency. It’s not just the pushback, it’s also that many officers want to believe they’re targeting the “bad guys” and this admin is telling them “screw you, grab families.” Genuinely, morale is way down.

I've been wondering how ICE agents feel about some of these enforcement actions that may seem quite different from what they signed up for. If you're in this situation, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Confidentiality guaranteed. crampell[at]washpost[dot]com or Signal: crampell.13

the pay is shit, everyone — even other law enforcement agencies — hates you and thinks you're stupid brutes, your coworkers are on the news ziptying grandfathers and kindergarteners every day, your quotas are laughably unrealistic and your bosses spend all day going on tv, what's not to love

Never hit delete so fast.

This needs as much coverage as protests or ICE raids. Los Angelenos FTW. ❤️🙌

the fact that it's essentially impossible to hold a federal agent responsible for their unconstitutional behavior should be a bigger deal while federal agents are assaulting a city

The weird, often whitewashed way the civil rights movement is taught (or not taught) seemed to convince a lot of people that nonviolence was met with nonviolence, instead of you know, dogs, hoses, beatings, death, etc

It is TYOOL 2025 and somehow The Drudge Report is less conservatively biased and has a more usable web site than basically any mainstream news site. This timeline is so stupid.

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

Ahead of No Kings Day, a couple trainings we have coming up that might be useful: Safety and Deescalation: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even... Know Your Rights (w/ACLU): act.aclu.org/a/2025-kyr-t...

The AI industry is full of blatant lies, but the claim that we can reliably detect AI-generated writing is one of the worst. The idea that these pseudoscientific AI writing detectors are being used to justify punishing young people makes me incandescent with rage.

I have no idea what’s happening here 😂

I dunno JD I kinda think the President makes more rules than the ABC News guy. I think if ABC News guy could actually make any rules people had to live by it would be “watch ABC News”

Guy Fucks

This is very funny, they’re just standing there.

lmao The Sun has a livestream of the “LA riots” on YouTube and when you click on it it’s a bunch of troops standing around doing nothing you can literally hear birds singing in the background what a time to be alive
