doing this without attaching it to a war powers vote is political malpractice
The question that very easily blows up all this double-talk is: “Would it be an act of war if another country did this to us?” Because OF COURSE it would.
once again, i am begging everyone to turn some of their energy towards abolishing the concept of legal gender. there is no reason gender has to be on driver's licenses and passports, and for most of history, it wasn't!
Hegseth and Noem keep mightily pissing off and humiliating those who serve under them and history informs us that that often does not work out for leaders such as them when regimes collapse

They want to scare people out of posting ICE-critical content, because they know these posts are turning even their supporters against them. But the better option is to take a page out of their playbook and flood the zone.
This hawk and another were fighting over a squirrel or rabbit. Was too slow to catch the battle but caught it swooping below the trail after it dropped its prey. #redtailhawk #socal #birds
Abolish ICE and fire all agents is the moderate position.
Upgraded my lens and confirmed its ability to capture birds in the act of whatever they’re in the act of.
Note the lack of ICE in the picture. Everything’s better without ICE.
Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.
"Please get the truth out about our son."
Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.
The official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect.

Sayre: "My background is in international humanitarian response in conflict zones in Yemen, Haiti, Syria, Iraq, and Ukraine. What I've seen here is what I've seen there. A powerful entity violently and intentionally terrorizing people."
A new video appears to show the moments leading up to a fatal shooting by federal agents in Minneapolis, with the individual appearing to simply record on his phone as agents escalated the situation.

Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."
Powerline ethernet is trash. Now if you had spare coax runs and could have used moca instead…

Van Hollen: We are here to say not one more dime for Donald Trump's ICE operations
More Dems need to think about skating to where the puck will be not where it is.
All indications are Trump's brain has turned to mush and no one around him will even try to control his worst impulses.
He will just get way crazier and more evil and unpopular by November.
This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.
hi, political philosopher here! this is not funny, central banks only do this when they're in extreme distress
For months, Trump’s DHS has wreaked lawless havoc in our neighborhoods. Tear gassing infants, families, and police. Firing their weapons at peaceful citizens. Killing innocent people.
It’s brutal, unconstitutional, and out of control.
It must stop.
Kristi Noem must go. Now.
The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.
Narrator: it was in fact what occurred
the thing is, “differing political views” used to be about what percentage to tax high earners and not whether brown people are humans
The ban decision based on posting an actually flat out illegal threat to POTUS? probably justified. taunting the victim about it? silence is free.
Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.
She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:
Melania and Barron Trump have dual citizenship (US and Slovenia). Elon Musk has citizenship in the US, South Africa, and Canada.
Ordering no quarter, as Hegseth effectively did, isn't a newfangled modern war crime. It was understood as a crime as far back as the Revolutionary War. Washington threatened to do reprisals over it. The bad guy in 'The Patriot' is (very loosely) based off a British officer who was notorious for it.
