"Appears to contradict the government's [read: ICE's] claim..."

(deeply sarcastic tone) Huh. Fancy that.

This author's (and SinC member's) review: The write-ins are great, no matter where you are in whatever you're working on. Highly recommended!

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

My god, the woman is saying something sensible for once.

I may need some ice skates for Hell. 🫀

I'm glad somebody asked this. Reporters should do it more often.

Just tried it. Can confirm.

This is why I use Duckduckgo.

1,000 % agreement with this.

Cardinal Dolan is a whited sepulchre. A terrible excuse for a Catholic. He just lied through his teeth about Charlie Kirk, whose words and actions had little (if any) connection to "the truth". Or to the Christianity the man professed. You know, the one that says "love your neighbor as yourself"?

A Black man and a homeless man were found hanging from trees in Mississippi yesterday, for those who haven’t seen yet because it’s barely made it out of local news.

And this man claims to be a devout Catholic. As I recall, the revered Catholic Church father, St. Augustine of Hippo, despised lying above just about every other sin...

Who wrote this and how drunk were they???

Truth, sadly.

Not sure whether to roll my eyes or just break down sobbing.

This timeline bites.

The reactionary SCOTUS majority is illegitimate. They just proved it again.

So...the "plan" here is to piss off South Korea enough that they pull their investments in battery plants like this one, thus harming EVs? Because America under Trump/GOP rule can't have nice things... Got it.

This white supremacist jackass should keep the word "Irish" out of his mouth.

I am honestly expecting this headline from them, for real.

450 pages???? Dear God, this man needed me.

I toast my sourdough and slather it in cashew butter.

Lordy, I suppose cashew butter is "woke" too. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Ummm...does Phillips ever go grocery shopping? You can still get your crappy tasteless white "sandwich" bread, there's plenty of it on the shelves...

Good lord. Whiners just gotta whine, I guess...

Okay, so Heather has taken the first step. Now take the second...it's not "wasteful gummint spending" or "Those People" (insert your favorite specific group/groups here) that have jacked up rents. It's hedge fund billionaires. Big Money, turbocharged by the 2017 Trump/GOP tax cuts.
