My wife was saying a sentence that I thought was going to end in “hot sex” but it ended in “hot dogs”.

Still good.

That is not a thing that is going to happen.

This is literally not at all going to happen.

this i think is key for how we approach protests. you may get arrested. the government will make up anything it wants. and then you will go to court and win because these chuds are morons.

THEY ONLY WIN WHEN WE ARE TOO SCARED TO EVEN FIGHT

DoJ cases against protesters keep collapsing as officers’ lies are exposed in court String of embarrassing defeats for prosecutors as experts condemn DoJ effort to cast people as ‘violent perpetrators’

A MN protester accused of assaulting ICE officer had case dropped after vids showed no assault.

LA protester accused of assaulting ICE w/ “hat” had case dropped; judge said govt acted in “bad faith”

In Chicago, 92 ppl were arrested for assault/impeding ICE; 0 convicted

DOJ keeps lying and losing:

Honestly probably just self-preservation after what happened to the last Pope.

Exactly right.

New Jersey Democrats Send Coarse but Clear Message to ICE With New Bill

I gotta believe that the Fight Unlawful Conduct and Keep Individuals and Communities Empowered act, which would secure residents’ rights under state law to sue immigration officials for unconstitutional conduct, has a lot to be said for it.

Quakertown parents, groups demand release of students in police clash Civil rights groups and parents gathered in front of the Quakertown Police Department Saturday demanding answers for the violent confrontation Friday.

INBOX: the police chief of Quakertown, Pa., led a group of plainclothes officers to disrupt a peaceful high school student sidewalk protest yesterday.

They threw an underage girl to the ground, choked her, and disconnected all calls to the detention center where she and others are currently held.

Read the post text, got excited thinking it was a political candidate.

Read the headline, got disappointed, but still enjoyed the chuckle at just how much everyone hates Elon.

One thing to understand is that jackasses like me graduated from law school basically believing that, while nothing like <all this> was realistic in our lifetimes, if it did happen, then our Supreme Court with all its flaws would respond roughly like this judge did, maybe 9-0.

And no one ever asks them to understand other people. It’s never “How do you think trans people see the US?” or “What do you think it’s like being an immigrant?”

Nope. The whole thing is just a way to center the entire universe around them, so they have to learn nothing, change nothing, never grow.

still unclear to me how the species made it this far

So you get out your Fascism for Dummies book for the 15 things you do, and we tried to include as many of them as we could in the most artful way possible. How were we supposed to know that this clown car in Washington was going to basically use the same book that we used? So I don't think it's prescience so much as the sad familiarity of fascism and the karaoke menu of things that you go through to do it. You could list them from the show, or you could list them from the newspaper.

Tony Gilroy, creator of Andor, wasn’t allowed to use the word “fascism” during press junkets in 2025.

Interesting interview in The Hollywood Reporter.

‘No one deserves this’: Beaverton father dies after deportation to Mexico A Beaverton family is grieving after the father, who was detained and deported by ICE, has now died.

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported.

He finally died.

I am so angry.

Remember, the violent, heavily-armed fascists who demand complete supplication and have the power to imprison us for no reason are fucking idiots.

kind of amazing that everything trump does can be understood through the lens of narcissism and it's related needs (e.g., self aggrandizement, revenge, domination, grievance validation). i don't think any character has been so one-dimensional, not even wile e coyote or scrooge mcduck

Single vaccine could protect against all coughs, colds and flus, researchers say A Stanford University team have tested their nasal spray vaccine in animals but still need to do human clinical trials.

Why isn’t the right excited about technology?

Don’t come to the US! Our country is a dangerous, lawless place!

This is obviously dangerous absurdity.

Best case scenario, everyone cooperates to game this shitshow. Medium case, a bunch of officers leave.

i've decided not to listen to the audio of a teacher reporting a kindergartender because frankly I don't want to become the person that that event would turn me into. but one thing I hope we are collectively coming to grips with is what it meant that we have lived among such people this whole time

Reminder: No government ever builds concentration camps it does not intend to fill.

My generation wore JNCO jeans and parted our hair in the center. We made these mistakes, so future generations could learn from them. Do not bring back the 90s, you deserve a better world than we had!

What I’m starting to realize is yeah, Skynet might happen, but it’s gonna be fucking stupid. Still kill us all, but in a really stupid way.

Thus logically solving the problem forever! Suck it, AI haters!

Why are so many people not using AI for everything? They must hate technology!
