has been said a million times already but polling universally shows that trump has negative approval on immigration now and abrego garcia has a lot to do with it

i sometimes wonder how much of the constant litigating of gripes and complaints is a function of the fact that many democrats seem to be as interested in proving their seriousness or independence to the *political press* as much as anyone else

"I'm not the target audience and I can't stand it"

House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries vowed to expose the identities of ICE agents. “This is not the Soviet Union... every single one of them will, of course, be identified.” ....no matter what it takes, no matter how long it takes.”

So he’s just approving russia’s next attack on civilians

i think this new york centric worldview helps explain why these people see national politics the way they do. parochialism of thinking that politics everywhere is the same as it is in manhattan.

this story is just a great illustration of NIMBY nihilism. at core, these people have no vision for anything. they simply oppose change for the sake of opposition. (i also think there is an element of death denial here — if i can prevent all physical changes i can deny the reality of my mortality)

I am not allowed to say most of my thought responses to “but Stephen miller is Jewish”

Indict every single one for bribery. Along with every Trump crypto owner.

Someone just sent me a group email making the case for Jamie Dimon for president. No. No more rich oligarchs

I think a lot of hard left accounts on here don’t fully realize the extent to which the center-left genuinely believes they made a good faith effort to reach out which was met with rejection, betrayal, and libel. You may not think it accurate or fair, but the belief is sincerely held.

Democrats who didn't vote in 2024 were _less_ progressive than those who did. Really seems like it was broad-based dissatisfaction with Biden that sunk Harris, not the ideological direction of her campaign www.thenation.com/article/poli...

A lot of Trumpers think it's patriotic to block or discourage foreigners from coming here. They don't understand what makes America strong. It isn't native superiority. It's attracting innovative, entrepreneurial people from around the world. By driving those people away, we're weakening America.

This is also the guy who keeps blathering on social media about how he hopes China conquers Taiwan because Taiwan is queer-friendly and has too many drag queens

who cares; I absolutely don’t want this government recognizing Pride month they’ll just turn it into a bizarre tribute to Ric Grenell

Another dumb gross irony here is Harvey Milk served in the Navy and Donald Trump's Navy secretary didn't www.military.com/daily-news/2...

I wonder if guys like Yarvin really appreciate the fact that there is a non-trivial chance they will be hanged in the next decade

There is a venerable and exceedingly simple solution to this conundrum that should be exercised far more often. Why, any citizen can do it.

I cannot get over these cops wearing night vision to arrest a dude on a Southwest Airlines flight in broad daylight.

hmm seems like a problem

Seeing some people suggesting the OP had depression but I think it’s more likely he wants to hate things and needs a political excuse to do so.

If Kendrick and Pusha got together on a track about Ye the blast zone would be visible from space

The common feature of Bolshevik diplomacy for over a century is using the flag of truce to say things that would get them immediately shot through the mouth if said in any other setting.

Any federal law enforcement officer who concealed his face while on duty needs to be summarily fired on January 20, 2029, and Congress should then make it a federal crime and explicitly allow state prosecution.

A good nonprofit effort over the next 43 months would be to keep a running draft indictment of every Trump administration official, published and updated regularly, so it is ready to go in January 2029.

again, this staggering idiot — this living monument to gross stupidity — is basically the intellectual guru of the sitting vice president

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

She Got an Abortion. So A Texas Cop Used 83,000 Cameras to Track Her Down. The current setup of the Flock ALPR system is incompatible with a free society.

For all the “Russia participates in the START treaty which is why the bombers we’re in the open” level of cope out there: No they don’t. They suspended their participation in 2023. They just thought the bombers we’re safe

This is so much better than Obama's deal because hey shut up

Happy pride month ❤️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Noticing this across the board with various agencies, and remembering my days in Iraq. Those police and soldiers who wore masks were considered cowards and suspects in extrajudicial action. Cant help but believe those doing it now in the US are complicit in crimes.

Tbh, I respect the tankies considerably more than the “restrainers” who are like “shooting at enemy soldiers invading their country demonstrates Ukraine’s reckless disregard for…” Just say you like Russia and want it to win already, goddamn. Moscow has like a gazillion ICBMs. Deterrence is safe.

the ironic thing about this is that restrainers missed the second and third order effects of the US pulling back its support of Kyiv. That means.......the Ukrainians will act with more impunity

This is a masterclass is trolling - whether it is true or not, you will now have FSB agents across Russia smashing down the doors of their neighbours.

1. The FPV drone tech Ukraine used here has been around for a while, though it was used very ingeniously. 2. The Ukrainian attack using these drones relied upon what sounds like over a year of extraordinarily precise logistics, planning, and training. This is not something just anyone could do.

the secret decoder ring to Likud is that they are willing to let any number of Jews die in order to kill a larger number of Arabs

hamas' primary weapon is a rocket which when fired turns a meretz voter in sderot into a likud voter

both the IDF and the Brigades measure their success in Palestinian martyrs

Relatedly... to the extent that Hamas has a theory of "how to free Palestine" it's something like "commit atrocities against Israel to provoke them into committing atrocities against Gazans, thereby becoming a pariah state" You'll note that this strategy involves getting Gazans killed on purpose

NOPE
