ICE Stranded a 17-Year-Old on I-20 After Arresting His Father. The Mississippi Dad Now Faces Deportation. A 17-year-old watched as ICE arrested his immigrant father, Hector, on I-20 in June. The family faces mounting legal fees and the risk of deportation.

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sightβ€”soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

Sorry Bud. Nobels don’t go to convicted felons or dictators trying to tear apart a democratic country. And you are both.

Wait. There was a betting market on whether Trump would win the N0bel Prize? And the odds had him at >30% at one point?

Goddammit had I known I would have liquidated everything I own and taken that bet and retired. That's the closest thing to free money that exists in this world.

Next year!

Don't be fooled. The only reason the USDA is barring Chinese nationals from buying U.S. farmland is that they want to be sure it is available for U.S. oligarchs to purchase on the cheap as the farms go into bankruptcy.

β€œUnconstitutional”: Two GOP Governors Slam Trump’s Troop Deployments Republican governors are finally calling out Donald Trump for using the National Guard to take over American cities.

VT Governor, β€œWe need stability right now in this countryβ€”we don’t need more unrest.… I don’t think our guard or the military should be used against our own people. It’s unconstitutional unless, of course, there’s an insurrection, like we saw Jan. 6 a few years ago.” πŸ‘

Trump is definitely going to start his own β€œpeace prize” and give it to brutal dictators, billionaire donors, and international war criminals.

a man is holding a wombat in his arms while wearing a bjp shirt Alt: Czech professional mixed martial artist Jiri Prochazka is kissing a wombat he has in his lap.

There's nothing I don't love about WOMBATS, from their curmudgeonly mannerisms to their armored, bony butts (that protect them from predators when they're head-first in a burrow).

But we should talk about their cubic poop & how it gets that way.

Oh the catsup must be streaming down the faux gold walls this morning. Wouldn’t you like to know what is going on in the head of the human garbage that has been blowing up their boats and joking about it for a week now. This is just delicious.

Seriously, since I first heard of Dobson, I got the distinct impression she is a racist, and this bit of garbage she spouts makes me think I was right.

"Under Biden, America was at least going to get a piece of the high-tech industries of the future. Trump is just handing them all to China on a silver platter, destroying the next generation of jobs for MAGA regions, while also taking their health insurance and hospitals."
