Congrats everyone — we are at the point where The Onion and real life are indistinguishable from one another. 😳🇺🇸 theonion.com/ice-agents-w...

From the Dead Internet Theory department. We need good detection tools, and they need to be as ubiquitous as anti-virus and firewalls. Maybe I'll develop some.

Why do no-knock, no-warrant raids & other 4A violations alarm me so? In March 2018, San Antonio PD Sgt. Paul A. Hammond, acting on a false tip, broke down my door. He didn't have a warrant or exigent need and didn't knock or announce himself. We're both extremely lucky he was the only one armed. 🏰

The Oklahoma City immigration raid last week is a bright warning light. At some point, someone is going to be shot and maybe even killed in one of these raids. And I think we need to prime our imaginations for what could come if that happens. Read me at @msnbc.com www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

There are very few people whom I unabashedly admire. Pop is one of them. Thank you Coach. Go Spurs Go.

Welp, here we go again, Texas. Once again, your intentions were good but your execution was incompetent. There are ways to guard identity while protecting parody, and this bill fails both of those concerns.

The notion that social media is gravely problematic is hardly controversial. But this is not the way. Ideologically, it's like swatting a fly with a sledgehammer. Pragmatically, um, Texas legislators? Do you know any teenagers? Or have you ever been one yourself?

Dearest Canada, Please take good care of our eagle. He's better off with you than here. We'll still work on finally nailing that impeachment conviction on the third try though. Love you too, America

Folks, I'm not an AI specialist, but I do have an MS in CompSci with coursework in LLM's and neural nets. Don't believe the hype. The cloud is just someone else's machine, and AI is just someone else's regurgitated content. If you read about AI passing a Turing Test, then the tester sucked.

I'm in favor of women. And peace. And security. If you are too, I invite you to join me on Team Woke Divisive/Social Justice with the other feminists, left-wing activists, and Biden initiative backers. But if you're against women, peace, or security? Stay quiet and out of our way, please. TIA.

Aaaand, we're rapidly accelerating from "an isolated incident" to "a few isolated incidents."

"You're hysterical, Liam! They're only going after the illegals. They would never, ever summarily deport a United States citizen. That's liberal fantasy nonsense." 🤨

Welp, here we are. Congratulations, Trump administration. You've driven a liberal pacifist who despises firearms into exercising his 2A rights. I live in a border state; I have no choice. ICE, you're on notice. If you break down my door without a warrant, the Castle Doctrine will be in effect.

I read it…

On being called DEI and why it isn’t the burn they think it is

He said / Xi said…nothing.

Farewell, Mongo. Thanks for the memories.

ICE is now a legitimate, serious threat to public safety. *Everyone* is in danger. Yes, that means you. They're going to start disappearing American citizens because they've *said* as much. We the people need to be seriously considering proactive life-saving measures.

This is your reminder that in MAGA Land, life begins at conception and ends at birth.

DHS deported Kilmar Garcia based on a police report that his Bulls hat showed MS-13 gang membership. I see these hats everywhere. They're on sale at a local gas station. Scary! If you see them too, do your civic duty! File a report! Tell DHS that suspicious folks with hats like his are in your hood!

Folks, I grew up near the west side of Chicago. I know my gang insignia. As a public service to you and ICE, please study these pictures. These are MS-13 gang members, and if you see them or anyone dressed like them, you should call 1-800-588-2300 immediately and report them.

David effing Brooks cites the Communist Manifesto and gives voice to sentiments I profoundly agree with. Worst… timeline… ever.

"We are all afraid" is "quite a statement?" Lisa, please. What are you *doing* about your fear? Are you summoning your courage? Or are you cowering like a dog in a thunderstorm?

I don't believe in the paranormal. But a Russian Blue keeps showing up on my garage cam, an orange-and-white tabby began appearing last week, and tonight I captured a black-and-white Holstein pattern shorthair. THOSE ARE MY CATS COATS TOO. Are Cal, Orphy and Ada being visited by their doppelgangers?

He forgot marriage & reproductive rights and ethnicity/sex/gender/belief system equality, but we'll forgive him.

I'm at the extreme end of this spectrum, fellow Bears fans. Which end, you ask? We'll find out soon.

I do not and will not defend the Chinese government. But… yeah.
