There are no laws against felons running for office because that would be a very easy way for someone to bar their political opponents from running (as I understand it). And no state bars a felon from voting if they've finished their sentence: www.ncsl.org/elections-an...

SpaceX has the lander contract. Musk is why we're not going back to the moon.

Very much AI. The way people walk, freeze, and a logo on a car vanishes half way through.

Mark Hamill posted: "They won't show Melania on planes for fear of walkouts"

My point being, from what I'm reading about him, he doesn't seem like the kind of person who would own a gun at all, much less the beast they claimed to find on him. It seems much more likely to me that they lied about him having a gun in the first place, and just used one of their own guns.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the gun they claimed to have taken from him happens to be the same kind that ICE are known to carry- and none of the photos of him show the kind of bulge that gun would produce...

This movie is bombing so hard that Amazon employees are being told to go see it to boost ticket sales.

Here are the opinions of two lawyers on the shooting, if the shooter were actual police.

Sometimes they even write on the bullets first.

Next on Trump's list is Maine, with 5 to 6 thousand undocumented...

How about "Prosecute ICE." The leaked memo proves that crime is their SOP.

Is attacking Ukraine's power grid a war crime? Western leaders say Russia's attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure are illegal, but what does the law say?

If the energy networks aren't powering military facilities, that's yet another war crime. www.bbc.com/news/world-e...

Uninvaded Seattle Beginning to Feel Like Trump Doesn’t Even Think It Has Antifa Anymore As the city watched the Trump administration focus its ire and extrajudicial forces on just about every other liberal bubble in the country, today an insecure Seattle admitted it’s beginning to won…

Honestly been wondering this very thing lately. Maybe all that inauguration money from big tech pacified him for a while? theneedling.com/2026/01/20/u...

I would be interested in comparing notes with others on what country to choose. My notes so far say Spain is best for EU, Uruguay or Mexico for Latin America, and Thailand or Indonesia for Asia.

ICE is using online influencers, geo-targeting to recruit deportation agents Internal documents highlight the use of creators to grow ICE's ranks.

ICE is spending millions on influencers flooding Facebook et al with the worst takes imaginable. It was bad before, but now it's completely ruined for civil discourse. mashable.com/article/ice-...

Way ahead of you...

You just have to say that you suspect the money in the bank is in the country illegally and it's yours!

Michelangelo's painting of the Sistine Chapel is impressive enough even before you find out he was a turtle.

Kirk said that a few deaths were worth having the 2nd amendment. I'm just glad it was his death rather than kids in classrooms this time.

I wonder if this is the source of all the fake license plates ICE has been known to use...

The Navy went along with murdering fishermen.

"And if you don't lay a finger on them, we'll claim you did anyway, but strangely there won't be footage of it despite everyone recording everything all the time"

So weird that she could stalk them all day long and have there be no video evidence of it. You'd think they'd be filming the stuff they're using to excuse their murders and kidnapping.

So if that world has Chicken O'Nuggets, it follows that they have Filet Mac Fish...

My incredible B, communing with jellyfish every six years or so:

See a Poe thing, post a Poe thing.

Fantastic Four was amazing- even better than Thunderbolts/ New Avengers, if D is to be believed. They missed a golden opportunity to do this scene though, since Malkovich as Red Ghost was cut from the movie:
