Fugitive Pope

As a psych undergrad at UCLA in the 70's you could adopt expired lab rats (behavioral studies). Bred for accelerated aging they live 3-4 years. You'd have them for their last year or so.

I'm thinking about the feasibility of a capture (release later), spay/neuter, and ear-notching program specifically for feral rats. Think of the rats, for the sake of god.

this is insane.

TLDR: The defendant kept slamming their nose into my clenched fist which was closed to protect it from injury.

The sworn affidavit submitted in support of the Criminal Complaint in this matter tells a very different—and largely fictional—story. For example, Special Agent Steven Fuentes of ICE, HSI, and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) swore to the following: On June 20, 2025, [HSI, ICE-ERO, and TxDPS] were conducting surveillance at a residence on Benrus, in San Antonio, Texas, in the Western District of Texas. Database checks indicated that Jaime Albert QUINTANILLA-Chavez, with a Final Order of Removal from an Immigration Judge, was residing at the above address. At approximately 0715 a.m., QUINTANILLA exited the residence and entered a white Dodge Ram. The Dodge Ram was towing a trailer containing construction equipment. Both license plates for the truck and trailer were expired. ECF No. 1 ¶ 2 (emphasis added). Fuentes also swore that (1) the Defendant refused to “follow any commands”; (2) after the Defendant was blocked in between the officers’ vehicles, he was given “multiple verbal commands to exit the vehicle”; and (3) the Defendant “fought the law enforcement officers.” Id. ¶¶ 3–4. Fuentes further testified at the preliminary hearing that the Defendant was surveilled (and taken into custody) because he was subject to a Final Order of Removal from an Immigration Judge. See ECF No. 12, 6/26 Preliminary Hr’g Tr. at 4:20–25. Despite HSI’s sworn statement to the Magistrate Judge that the vehicle was stopped because of expired license plates, the Assistant U.S. Attorney conceded at a bond hearing in July 2025 that Fuentes had “misrepresented what was going on.” ECF No. 29, 7/10 Hr’g Tr. at 8:12–

The Defendant pulled over, came to a stop, and took out his cell phone to call a friend to come pick up the only other occupant of his vehicle: his weenie dog, Rocky. ECF No. 29, 7/10 Hr’g Tr. at 29:9–18. The Defendant’s friend saw from his video messaging application that there were men aiming guns at the Defendant and yelling at him. See id. at 25:17–21.

This dismissal opinion on a failed ICE arrest that @seamushughes.bsky.social found is worth reading in its entirety. Come for the debunking of DHS "fiction," stay for the snark about wiener dog, but definitely take time to read the 18 USC 111 analysis.

I don't like being educated by whites on the history of Black radicalism. Shut up about what you learned about the Panthers last year & just pass the mic to a Black person. Nobody wants to hear from you about Black struggle. At all.

Voters in poll side with Newsom, Democrats on Prop. 50 — a potential blow to Trump and GOP About 60% of likely voters in California support Proposition 50, Democrats' redistricting proposal that would change the state's congressional districts.

Can't imagine Trump doing this:

"The Newsom committee supporting Proposition 50 has raised far more money than the two main committees opposing it, so much so that the governor this week told supporters to stop sending checks."

In the eyes of the [Korean] public, it is not well regarded. . . because it is self-awarded and is based on winning an election, not on any positive achievements. It is also given to foreign heads of state, . . . for what they may do for Korea in the future.

So he can return it to the store if it's the wrong size.

You can sell white people their own demise if you wrap it up in racism they agree with. This is what we keep seeing.

It doesn’t matter what the fuck is inside as long as it’s packaged in a way that the main point reads “we hate the same people you hate”.

So why can't local authorities direct Kavanaugh Stops for white males since statistically they make up the biggest population of right wing terrorists. "Excuse me, sir, are you against our current government?" It's a valid reason according to Kavanaugh Stop rules.

I've been to Mepnen. Pretty state.

Traditional mixed media artwork. It shows a cute town with colorful buildings, in Fall, with a blue grey cat strolling through it all content and proud. The cat has a red bow on its neck.

Maybe name all waste sewage treatment facilities as "Trump 1" and "Trump 2" and so on. Could probably be politically done locally. Every plant cleaning up shit should honor Trump.

dear US friends, when a sitting president (re)builds the seat of government, it almost always means the president has no intention of leaving at the end of term. your African friends with decades of experience

This (moderate) level of racial competency is VERY rare for someone of this demo; white folks should’ve been listening to and learning from people like this for decades.

Sadly, it’s too late to dismantle racism, now. Racism has won.
White America chose it instead of a hyper-qualified Black Woman. 🙁

I'd pay for a swing.

Holy shit! That motherfucker TORE DOWN THE WHITE HOUSE!

In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government.

She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her.

So I confronted him.

Do you live in an apartment complex? How about printing out some fliers letting your neighbors know that on a particular day of the week, u will be cooking X extra meals and that anyone who needs one can stop by your place at X hour to pick one up no questions asked? Can even leave them at the door.

Is it efficient? Undeniably. Does it probably work better than the normal way? Oh certainly. Produce less of a mess? Probably?

But the existence of Condiment Udders gives me a deep, aghast disquiet.

I lived with my dad when I was very young and he didn’t apply for food stamps or free school lunches, though we qualified.

So, I went hungry. It was awful. I begged neighbors for saltine crackers. I can say it was the worst time of my life.

Children shouldn’t go hungry. Restore SNAP benefits.

Idiots. They'll probably only make about $10 million after fencing the stones.
