If the Dems who win in the 2026 midterms get squeamish about prosecuting this administration, we'll need to elect a bunch of new people running on Nuremberg shit for 2028. This isn't a joke. It's the law. It's justice. Biden let Trump back in the WH and this happened because Joe didn't do his job

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

As Operation Metro Surge recedes, concern grows over tactics of Twin Cities bounty hunters There are no licenses needed to become a bounty hunter in Minnesota, an issue that is raising concerns after highly public actions by bounty hunters in the Twin Cities this week.

Outside Minneapolis City Hall, two protesters blocked a van labeled with “Midwest Plumbing” decals advertising a disconnected phone number. The driver pointed a pistol at them. One of the armed men shot pepperballs into the crowd.

The men weren’t federal agents. They were bounty hunters.

I'm too bored of this to try and be clever about it anymore.

If you think that two men kissing, or two women kissing, requires any more explanation than a man kissing a woman, that is homophobia.

"We think. We read. We are not peasants. We are mechanics. But even the peasants know better than to believe in a war. Everybody hates this war."
"There is a class that controls a country that is stupid and does not realize anything and never can. That is why we have this war."
"Also they make money out of it."
"Most of them don't," said Passini. "They are too stupid. They do it for nothing. For stupidity."

I started reading Hemingway’s “A Farewell to Arms” a few days ago. This passage made me put the book down for a few seconds…

Heroic Chicago trans comedian recalls saving infant from ice-cold Lake Michigan: ‘I guess I’m going in’ “The most important part of this entire story is that the baby is okay,” Lio Cundiff told The Advocate.

“It’s weird,” he said. “I just did something that I would think anyone would do. What do you mean you would watch a stroller and a baby just sink?”

just an an addendum to this, last storm he offered $19/hour with a possible increase to $28/hour after a certain amount of time worked, but i imagine that number wasn’t attractive enough so this time he was just like, $30 for everyone. adaptability!
