Last year, we documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests β€” a tactic experts say was rarely used before Trump took office.

ICE claims its officers use a β€œminimum amount of force.” You can judge for yourself.

I really don't think I should have to verify that I am human to look at the Cheesecake Factory menu online. Dogs and robots should be able to look at 57 types of cheesecakes too.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.

AOC: β€œThat’s one reason he must be removed from office - if the Epstein files have such a hold on Trump & this admin that they are willing to plunge us & risk world war in order to save themselves politically - that is the definition of someone who cant make objective decisions for the American ppl”

This is the conversation that goes through my head every day when my shitty neighbor smokes his skunk weed on his porch and my entire backyard and house smells like weed.

I want to punch him in the face but I don’t want to send him to jail.

The minister had three kids. My dad was a truck driver, now drives busses part time.

The fire chief had three kids. My mom is still a part time musician for alzheimers patients, and a part time music teacher for kiddos in pre school.

Patreon post header graphic for "Shouldn't Need to Be a Lawyer" by Matthew Cortland, dated 03/04/2026. Title reads: "Steven Pinker Helped Epstein's Lawyers Argue Sex Trafficking Wasn't Sex Trafficking. The NYT Just Gave Him a Platform to Argue Disability Isn't Disability."

In 2007, Steven Pinker argued that "entice" didn't mean entice, to defend child rapist Jeffrey Epstein. In 2026, he's arguing that "disability" doesn't mean disability, and the New York Times is letting him do it without mentioning his history.

Anti-trans panic is being used to smuggle in an assumption that kids are not credible witnesses of their own internal lives. That assumption doesn't just hurt trans kids, but will be weaponized against gay kids, sexual abuse victims, and kids suffering mental health issues.

As someone who has survived multiple jaw bone infections and needed several endodontic treatments for tooth infections, let me tell you that this man died in one of the most painful ways possible

They tortured him. An untreated tooth infection is torture.

Graham is framing bombing Iran as religious liberation. His rhetoric is fuelled by his theology.

I am watching Jamal fade in front of me. His diabetes weakens his body, and asthma steals his breath. We urgently need $1000 for insulin and inhalers to keep him alive. I am begging youβ€”please don’t let him die because we couldn’t afford medicine. Help save Jamal.

In 1923, SCOTUS held that US taxpayers do not have standing to sue the government for their taxes being spent in an illegal or unconstitutional manner. SCOTUS said it would violate Separation of Powers if taxpayers could sue to control how taxes were spent.

That's been US law ever since.
