Mass deportation and immigration enforcement in the interior requires a police state, and the more of that you want, the more obviously it will look and act like a police state. Roll paramilitary goons into people's neighborhoods and it isn't some abstract issue of "the border" anymore.

The regime and ICE are clearly targeting union members and leaders because they hate workers and want to break their power.

he's home: Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been returned to the United States. I feel the sort of thankfulness that approaches disbelief--against every artificial impossibility a wicked administration imposed, he is alive, home.

The America Party sounds like a themed rave at a Bratislava nightclub

What are the odds Trump screws over Musk by getting rid of all tariffs on cheap Chinese EVs such as BYDs?

One ugly thing about the Trump-Musk feud: It provides a glimpse into the profound emptiness at the core of MAGA. It's all so hollow. Everything is trolling, ego, lies, conspiracy theories, shitposting. Nothing is ever real. On the pod Rick Wilson and I dig into this newrepublic.com/article/1962...

Notice how Super Mario and all his supposed “enemies” are happy to get together and go go-kart racing? Wake up. It’s all kayfabe

“The University of Michigan is using private, undercover investigators to surveil pro-Palestinian campus groups, including trailing them on and off campus, furtively recording them and eavesdropping on their conversations…”

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

So then Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a corpulent flunkie goes "Deport Elon!" and Elon goes "Impeach!" And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.

AOC: The girls are fighting aren’t they

That Mehmet Oz is still a physician in good standing with any state medical board tells you everything you need to know about the American medical profession in 2025

"Biden was old but governed normally. Trump governs erratically *because* he’s unglued. That’s the true cover-up, one the media is enabling when they seem more concerned with the mental condition of a former president than the escalating madness of the current one."

"Republicans are weird" remains a devastating, indisputably-true statement, and everyone who isn't part of MAGA should say it all the time. It works in every situation, even outside "culture war" stuff. Sure, there are strong merits to USAID, FEMA, CFPB—but also, destroying them is *weird*.

A simple message The Left needs to hammer relentlessly: the misery and precarity so many of us feel today is a direct result of right-wing politicians (including many Dems) giving Capital everything it wanted for the last 40+ years

Unseasonably cold temperatures in the Baltimore area make me hopeful I may be finally able to offload all of these Pride-themed parkas I unwisely bought so many years ago

This has been something I have thought for a long time. Police should have revocable occupational licenses just like paramedics, nurses, teachers, and barbers

The low levels of unionization among American nurses and other hospital workers is,IMHO, one of the American labor movement's greatest failures

people are getting disappeared, innocent men sent to foreign gulags, the civil service hollowed out, thousands left to die without foreign aid, and schumer is saber rattling about iran. these people make me fucking sick.

Will probably get canceled for this but cannot remain silent

Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺

A drag mat is a Zamboni for dirt

I had to double check that this was real and yep there's the president sharing a post claiming his predecessor was executed in 2020 and replaced with a robot or a clone I mean CHRIST can the legacy media please normalize calling him unhinged, at the very least

"Love of country is...an ennobling sentiment, worthy of our affections. And love of country demands that those who love America & her ideals stand up against a man & a party intent on destroying them." #DefendtheRepublic #Resist #HandsOff #ImpeachConvictRemove www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

A thought that has been sitting with me a lot recently: there is something just fundamentally broken with the political economy of any nation that would elect Donald Trump president *twice*

Consider the implications of a device this small and this simple possibly taking out 2/3 of Russia's heavy bombers. If this story is true, we're in a totally different world

This is absolutely true in Boston and everywhere. We have had 100 years of building new roads and widening existing roads and traffic is worse than ever. The only solution to traffic is to give people an alternative to taking a private car everywhere

The only way to solve Boston’s traffic is to get cars off the road. Encouraging mode shift by getting some people out of their cars and onto public transit or walk/bike as able is the best way to do that. Anything else is just hollow political rhetoric.

I don’t know if you all have noticed but people in cars are angry and crazy. This proposal would stretch out the summertime traffic jam another mile. Introducing car parking is just asking for trouble, conflict, traffic and decreased safety.

I sincerely hope Trump's cruel and illegal abductions and deportations without due process at minimum convince more white Americans that — contra popular culture — law enforcement officers are not "the good guys"

I’m sorry, but I don’t have patience for this. Trump was very clear that he was going to try mass deportation. The only question was “would he be able to?” Voting Harris would’ve obviated the question.

So, my son needs new pajamas and it's really making me miss shopping malls because a store that specializes in pajamas is exactly the kind of store that would have been at the mall when I was a kid

I'm a moderate on the issue of cars, I don't think they should be banned but I do think they should all be this. Now I know what you're thinking: what if I need to go fast or need more space? That's just too bad

One of the big blind spots liberal elites have about this country is that they have no idea how prominent and prevelant stuff like "Christian Wealth Seminars" are. These typically recruit unsophisticated people into the scam *and* promote conservative ideology.

Stop trying to blame Elon's behavior on drugs. No. The US does more drugs than any other nation, and it's not particularly close. We're the champs! Lb for lb GOATs, and the undisputed heavyweight champs! 🏆🍾🥇 And yes, white folks do *more* drugs than Black folk, Asian folk, or Hispanic folks.
