A large pot sits in plain sight. There’s a frog in it. Every day, Leader announces his plans to boil the frog. His campaign slogan was “BOIL THAT FROG.” He has already made at least one run on the stove. A man stirs the pot with a large stick. “It’s a metaphor,” he says.

It's cool that Lando Cal-rizz-ian was such a charmer

before each year of residency my partner & i watch one lotr extended edition and year 3 is starting and all i have to say is

The wikipedia for explaining Sauron’s origins is a case study in how to say true and correct things that make absolutely no sense because not a single word is used to connect any of the many concepts introduced in four sentences.

GO GET YOUR FUCKING PASSPORTS

The frog is sweating. The frog is informed that this is due to a natural variation in temperature. “He’s clearly boiling the frog,” say the other frogs. All books about frogs have vanished from the library.

ICE arresting the NYPD is introducing deep quantum uncertainty into the Cool Zone

attended a funeral today where the guest preacher delivering the sermon made reference to Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth, so that's some kind of life achievement right

i just find this so bizarre. searching through texts and doing the reading for myself is how i actually think through ideas! trying to put together a sentence is how i figure out what i actually want to say!

initd? more like initdeeznuts

e2ee does rely on the ends not being narcs

When a sheriff's deputy pulled over Dias Gonçalves, he shared some basic info about her over Signal to a federal official. Unbeknownst to the deputy, ICE was secretly tracking the chat. The deputy let her go with a warning but ICE agents detained her minutes later. coloradosun.com/2025/06/17/u...

Use Signal. We promise, no AI clutter, and no surveillance ads, whatever the rest of the industry does. <3

Feel like this piece is newly relevant today...

Grateful that Brad Lander is using his experience to highlight the biggest outrage; that ICE is re-arresting people who have been 100% compliant with ICE and the courts, with the goal of unlawfully stripping them of a court hearing to juice Stephen Miller's deportation numbers.

This piece is great www.vitalcitynyc.org/articles/is-...

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

Did I show you the ukrainian SES rescue dogs that help search for people under the rubble

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

Zohran Mamdani, who recently cross-endorsed with Lander, called for the comptroller’s immediate release. “This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice,” said Mamdani.

Just days ago, Brad Lander called me to interpret for an Arabic-speaking asylee whose case was approved, yet ICE was still harassing him inside the building. Brad personally escorted him out to safety. He does this kind of work quietly, every day.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

A proposed law in California, introduced as a series of immigration raids across the country have led to protests, would bar law enforcement officials from wearing masks while interacting with the public.

what is it called when people who aren't cops and don't have a warrant drag you away, because I don't think "arrest" is the word

Breaking News: Brad Lander, the New York City comptroller who is running for mayor, was detained by ICE agents at an immigration court as he tried to escort a migrant out of the courthouse to prevent his arrest. nyti.ms/4jWkANE

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

This is how you actually do it. Create a schism between the cops and ICE. Who's really in charge? The answer is neither of them. The people and the courts are in charge, so let them figure this out with each other. Secret police are no one's allies.

"You don't have the authority to arrest US citizens who are asking to see a judicial warrant." NYC mayoral candidate Brad Lander being arrested *along with a member of his NYPD security team* by ICE.

oops

At least 15 people, including an American citizen, were killed and 114 were injured in a massive overnight attack on Kyiv, marking the deadliest strike on the Ukrainian capital this year. wapo.st/4408pJO

haven’t seen a whole lot of discussion of this angle, but these guys are now subject to UCMJ, correct?

NEW—After an innocent protester was shot and killed at the Salt Lake City No Kings protest by a “safety volunteer,” @utah50501.bsky.social says they hired team of them based on “military, first responder, other relevant de-escalation experience.” Volunteer who fired gun was a vet. Full statement:

Whaaaaaat the fuck

Very cool that several people who used to yell at me in DMs for being too mean to Facebook are now running some sort of extralegal posse informally deputized by the actual United States Army.
