Me, a squishy New Deal liberal, watching this shit

We hear about how pro-immigrant side is extreme. There is literally nothing more extreme than this statement. Being willing to sacrifice the country’s foundations for an evil goal

Literally two weeks ago Stephen Miller screamed at ICE leadership for not raiding Home Depots.

Really good chance that the summer of 2020 ends up having been the training ground for the next round of massive civil unrest. Tens of thousands of Americans stood up and faced down armed agents of the state and took their best shots. That’s going to really change the dynamics moving forward.

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

ICE arrested former Afghan Nat'l Army soldier—our ally against Taliban—at his home in TX. He entered legally and atty says he has no criminal record. Was applying for asylum. Appears to be casualty of Trump decision de-documenting legal Afghan immigrants www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/new...

A father screams for his child from a tiny interview room within a basement waiting room inside LA federal building. The space is not a holding area. No food. No water. No diapers. Those initially detained include a 2-year-old US citizen and a woman with high-risk pregnancy.

Nancy Mace has lost her remaining brain cells. She’s completely out of her mind.

How embarrassing to work for the organized kidnapping ring known as "ICE." Rolling out of bed every day to be a brainless goon. You are lower than a worm to me

BYD vs. Tesla is barely a contest in EV sales. BYD is far ahead and now leads in net income too. Tesla is falling, with an aging lineup and thin pipeline, aside from the Trump feud. Elon Musk is betting all on self-driving, with the Austin robotaxi launch soon. www.investors.com/news/tesla-v...

There’s not a large audience interested in the answer to this question, so why are they publishing it? To manufacture consent for cooperation with mass deportations.

Aggrieved whites pretending they only lost out because of "unfair advantages" to minorities is an old script. The Bakke ruling against racial quotas came after Allan Bakke was rejected by 12 different med schools. He sued the *one* that had a racial quota, arguing that and that alone kept him out.

jesus christ lmao

a real shame that a scumbag like scott bessent gets to live the american dream (call elon musk a scumbag con artist to his face)

THE NEW YORK TIMES ETHICIST (watching Zone of Interest): haha nice. sick house

rfk jr. coughing up a whole flattened armadillo with tire tread marks on it and suddenly talking normal

Elementary school graduation.

i think it's really cool that like 50% of all municipal budgets go to fund guys who milk overtime to do this between 2 part time gigs body guarding where they also clock overtime when they're not playing candy crush on duty

The thing that is coming through the clearest for me about this podcast is that it really doesn't include the people who have the most to gain or lose in any meaningful way. There are no interviews with young trans people - or with detransitioners.

JPMORGAN: Trade war repercussions are “only just now taking full effect. .. federal and local spending is on track to slow to a 1%ar pace .. with the flow of new immigrants slowing to a standstill and deportations on the rise. “.. a period of sustained above-potential US growth is over.” 👀

Simone Biles, continuing to prove she’s the GOAT

SCOOP w/@jacobkornbluh.bsky.social "There is a through line from Occupy Wall Street to BLM to ‘defund the police’ to ‘River to the Sea,’” Greenblatt said of anti-Zionist protesters. "These are the same kind of nihilists." forward.com/news/726133/...

FEMA Chief Confused By Wind theonion.com/fema-ch...

honestly the ADL is more or less just an anti-Arab hate group which is entirely neutral on the issue of antisemitism

Kind of wild that the New York Times has more sympathy for an influencer who posted child porn than it does for trans children who want to be left alone.

Ro Khanna wants Democrats to be the party of feeding USAID to a wood chipper, killing thousands. The party of securities fraud, and environmental violations, and union-busting. The party of Great Replacement and White Genocide conspiracy theories. The party of blatant white-only immigration policies

What's 1 million meals divided by 2 million people divided by a few months' worth of days?

Obviously it’s monstrous that Kilmer Abrego Garcia is being prosecuted for embarrassing the administration but it’s very funny that Yglesias was citing that case as an example of a losing issue *Tuesday.*

Erm

DOGE brutality was the ultimate manifestation of the "free market" libertarian movement's generational quest to portray the destruction of federal governance and corporate oversight as the path to utopia many of those think tankers should be ostracized almost as intensely as the fascists

A publicly funded affordable housing project with 100 one-bedroom apartments came in at $800,000 per unit. The same developer built a mostly market rate building NEXT DOOR for $350,000/unit. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

2 Days

you can't tell at first because this is written in the exonerative tense, but she was shot *by another police officer*

Bluesky when something funny happens

Really nice illustration of how the last rounds of NYC mayoral primary voting went. You can see how important it is for mid-tier candidates to name a second choice for their supporters.

Friday's NY Post cover doesn't disappoint:

I asked the pedophile and he said it was all good so don’t worry about it

“Ontario's chief medical officer of health, Kieran Moore, said in a statement ‘the infant contracted the virus before birth from their mother, who had not received the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine.’”

word of the day

AOC: The girls are fighting aren’t they

woah: “Nearly a dozen immigration officers and eight deportees are sick and stranded in a metal shipping container in the searing-hot East African nation of Djibouti, where they face the constant threat of malaria and rocket attacks from nearby Yemen…”

i’ve been mumbling this to myself for hours
