DAILY MEMO: Border Patrol Raids Long Beach Taking Gardeners, Old Men, and A 12-Pack of Beers

an unearthly, formless, chance-like apparition of life

Hanged

The past participle of the verb meaning killed by dropping from a rope around the neck is hanged.

Al odors are particulate.

So, like, if you smell shit, that’s shit in your nose, man.

Analysis | By calling for the execution of prominent Democrats, President Trump is preserving the legacy of Charlie Kirk.

CNN, NYT, AP, and other media orgs literally have interviewed families of people killed in Caribbean boat strikes, including some who say they were just fishermen.

Lies nested within lies, all in service of violating the laws of armed combat, for no evident national interest advancement at all.

Federal immigration crackdown in Charlotte, North Carolina, has ended, sheriff's office says A federal immigration crackdown​ based in Charlotte, North Carolina's largest city, is now over, a local law enforcement agency said Thursday.

We'll see if they actually mean it, but this announcement after one week confirms that Charlotte was impeccably well organized for this moment.

My hometown absolutely floored me this past week. FLOORED.

For safety reasons, I haven’t said much about it. But I’m so damn proud of my family and friends. So proud.

Delayed jobs data offers a mixed bag as the U.S. unemployment rate inches higher While the overdue job totals from September weren't horrible, 2025 is still shaping up to be the worst year for job growth since the Great Recession.

"the U.S. economy added 684,000 jobs over the first nine months of 2025. That might sound like a decent number, but over the first nine months of 2024 — when Trump said the economy was terrible — the total was almost 1.4 million jobs"

its almost like being proactive generates coverage instead of leaning back and hoping for the best. and yes, im willing to give props to some of the dems in this who are usually the boring backbencher types.

My “Trump does not want to execute members of Congress” statement has a lot of people asking questions already answered by the statement.

Okay this deserves unbridled cursing;

Holy mother fucking shit are you fucking shitting me?!?!?!!!?

Trump’s Complicity in the Khashoggi Murder How Donald Trump’s cover-up of Jamal Khashoggi’s assassination revealed the pattern of corruption that still defines his relationship with Saudi Arabia... and the world

“Despite overwhelming evidence…Trump publicly exonerated MBS, insisting the CrownPrince ‘knew nothing abt it.’”

This “despite the CIA’s internal conclusion that he had personally approved the killing…Trump was aware of MBS’s complicity & still participated in the cover-up.”

“He ignored all of it…”

reminder, these atrocities continue

This will surely surprise most Americans today, but historians have recently discovered that before Donald Trump, it was actually incredibly rare for a president to demand the public execution of this political opponents and press critics.

There can only be one reason Donald Trump & Stephen Miller are going ballistic over people in the military being reminded that they can refuse to obey illegal orders—illegal orders were *always* the plan.

Vaccine Safety MENU V For Everyone NOV. 19, 2025 KEY POINTS • The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism. • Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities. • HHS has launched a comprehensive assessment of the causes of autism, including investigations on plausible biologic mechanisms and potential causal links.

This is completely disgusting. Today, the CDC updated their vaccine safety page. It now says:

“The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism”.

Turning Point USA, the youth movement Kirk founded in 2012, said in a statement that it supported the right to free speech, “including that of private employers to determine when a bright line has been crossed and an employee deserves to be terminated.”

Weird how conservatives didn't mention all those years that they think it's fine to fire people for their beliefs! What an unfortunate misunderstanding we've had around this. Oh well!

Yn a free society, universitye-level studye of the artes and humanityes sholde not be avaylable onlye to the wealthye and privileged.

The study in question was conducted by anti-vaxxers David Geier, who Kennedy hired to study vaccines and autism, and his father, Mark.

Neither one has a medical license. Mark is a former physician but his son, David, is not.

Both were disciplined for practicing medicine without a license in MD.

The Geiers were famous for using Lupron (a medical castration drug) on autistic boys to “ take the wolf out” as they put it in a long -vanished article that used to be on the NYT website. Vile and evil men.

Astonishing to stop and realize that, at any given moment, bands of masked men armed to the teeth are storming churches and daycares, terrorizing entire communities—and that most of the country's political establishment barely blinks.
