Abstract Yeti

Hospital parking is still expensive but a visit to a walk-in clinic was covered by my provincial health plan. When I went to a CityMD in Brooklyn last year, it cost $300.

Just a thought: How about we nix Presidents’ Day and make Election Day a national holiday instead?

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

okay that's enough horrors and internet for tonight. we can all doomscroll more tomorrow.

Democrats, do not be fooled. If you cave and approve DHS funding, they’ll be back and worse than last time. Republicans keep showing you their hand, stop shaking it.

i am increasingly bothered by terms like "showdown" or "face-off" or "clash" when used to describe corrupt and fascist power coming up against resistance because there's an implied symmetry that does not exist.

Raskin: "I want the whole country to look at this. This is the attorney general of the US whose job is law enforcement. We've never had a witness who has misunderstood our rules and been unable to conform his or her conduct to our rules before. Excuse me."

MS NOW: "A congressional official with knowledge of the matter is telling MS NOW the cause of the shutdown of El Paso airspace is a lack of communication between the Pentagon and FAA. The official told us the FAA and DOD are 'not in clear communications with each other.'"

NEWS: The FAA has abruptly issued a 10-day temporary flight restriction grounding all flights to and from El Paso International Airport, citing “special security reasons.” A source told CNN the sweeping ban is tied to military operations at nearby Fort Bliss.

I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

It's jarring to see how much money is going to ICE instead of education, healthcare, public transportation, international aid, green energy infrastructure, and the arts, but I guess that's the point.

Implying ice agents are the good guys is fairly tragic consequence of this question

That same acid-eating staffer who sent out the racist meme about the Obamas is at it again. Now he's saying China's going to end hockey in Canada. What a fucking whack job.

They really need to fire that guy.

The heads of Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and Tesla all joined Trump at his inauguration.

Since then, largely thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill, their companies have reaped $51B in federal tax breaks — paid for by huge cuts to our social safety net.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

Since they insist on calling it the department of war wouldn’t this in turn be the war budget now? All democratic messaging is welcome to use this semantic weapon as apparently we can only defend violence with words

who called it Heated Rivalry and not Fuck Ice

It really says something about our national descent that the President of the United States and the most damaged, onanistic submoron in the country are now, somehow, the same exact person.

Over the past two weeks I've begun to realize that rich people only started funding chatbots once they could no longer email Jeffrey Epstein

We do not need immigration enforcement. No one is illegal on stolen land. What we need is honest and accountable law enforcement for all human beings whether they are classified as immigrants or citizens, regardless of financial capacity, and we are pretty far from having that

The argument that people having rights makes law enforcement more difficult is not remotely convincing.

Is there some journalist law that prevents you from calling a liar a liar or is that just cnn self preservation policy?

Their leadership also refers to that restaurant as existing in a theater of war they’ve been deployed to

'ICE is not a law unto itself' | Judge says ICE has violated nearly 100 court orders this month In a court order, Judge Patrick Schiltz wrote that 96 court orders were violated in 74 cases.

Interesting I wonder how many court orders any of us could violate inside a single month before we were hunted down like dogs by the police on multiple warrants

the time has come.

we must reform the way we abduct, jail, and murder children.

It remains to be seen how the Venezuelan people will respond to a more overt CIA presence in the country post-Maduro. For years, Maduro cast the CIA as a convenient boogey man, repeatedly accusing the agency – without evidence – of attempting to topple his regime as he clung to power despite US opposition. Now, the CIA has helped supplant Maduro and is poised to help actively manage the Trump administration’s dealings with Venezuela’s new leadership.

Absolutely incredible sequence from CNN.

"Maduro was a paranoid lunatic always lying about the CIA trying to overthrow him. Anyways, now that the CIA has overthrown him..."

gay and straight marriage are both illegal. the only recognized form of union will be polyamorous tetrads where at least one partner is named "leaf"

Crazy how Trump's lawyers have never seen anything Trump has ever said or done.

Democrats who continue to vote for Trump’s nominees consistently get burned.

Democrats who continue to vote for MAGA legislation consistently get burned.

There’s a lesson in there somewhere.

Who in their right mind believes statements from the Department of Homeland Security?

Who believes anything Kristi Noem or Stephen Miller or Trump might say about what has just happened in Minneapolis?

They no longer have any credibility. That should be clear by now.

They lie like they breathe.
