Once upon a time, a politician pardoning just one person who went on to commit a crime was career ending.

I'm so old I can remember a politician pardoning just one person who went on to commit a crime was career ending.

I think only 7 of the 26 man first team squad are British.

I disagree but understand the decision on the word 'milk' but 'post milk generation' is explicitly saying it isn't traditional milk. It's like they're ruling on hurt feelings.

Anyway, it won't matter unless supermarkets move it to a different aisle.

Well, that's the coconut milk producers screwed...

Bondi put the blame on Merrick Garland and the Biden admin.

Death Cab for Cutie (song) - Wikipedia

"Death Cab for Cutie is named after Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band’s β€œDeath Cab for Cutie.”

Who turn got the name from a US pulp fiction crime mag found at a street market.

β€˜Absolute hell’: Irishman with valid US work permit held by Ice since September Seamus Culleton has been in a detention facility in Texas for nearly five months despite having no criminal record

This is absolutely insane. The sort of Kafka-esque nightmare you would find in a Philip K Dick book set far in the dystopian future. A window on America tumbling into autocracy.

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.)  If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

In a bid to outfox the algorithms, I’m using a sink plunger stuck to my head to point at my new book (it’s out this Thursday you should definitely preorder a copy). Pretty sure this will work. Hit repost or like if you see this post. πŸ”β€οΈ

Well sort of, the outrage told him it been seen by enough people, so he took it down and blamed someone else. WHICH IS WHAT HE ALWAYS DOES.

Either that or he realised they looked cooler than him even when dressed as monkeys.
