Bush at least felt obligated to lie to us in order to play war. Trump doesn’t think he owes anyone an explanation besides β€˜I wanna’.

The Johnny MAGA account, that pretends to be a black, pro MAGA account, that often posts racist propaganda, is actually run by Garrett Wade, a White House staffer.

U.S. cities step up security measures amid Iran tensions FBI director Kash Patel instructed federal counterterrorism and intelligence to "mobilize all assisting security assets needed."

The β€œbig picture” here, to use Axios lingo, is that for a year team Trump has destroyed important counter-terror tools and diverted counter-terror personnel to immigration enforcement.
And that Patel, Noem, & Gabbard have no qualifications and are riotously incompetent.

Community members, public officials push back against ICE expansion into metro Detroit - WDET 101.9 FM The Southfield office and planned detention center in Romulus come as the Trump administration massively increases the budget for ICE.

β€œCut the utilities, condemn the building, demo it, take it under eminent domain, whatever you can do. Make it impossible for them to use our neighborhood for a concentration camp,” he said.

β€œThis will not be solved by a harshly worded letter or resolution. We need action.”

Pathetic. At 12pm, I'm going to be listening to what Timothy Snyder has to say about Iran. I suggest you do the same so you can come up with a better statement than this.

Why Attack Iran? Our Authoritarianism and Our Corruption

How to understand war with Iran? We must get away from propaganda. Facts suggest two interpretive frameworks: a foreign war as a mechanism to destroy democracy at home; and a foreign war as an element of personal corruption by the president of the United States.

"Just like the Forever Wars, this fiasco is also birthing its own captive constituencies... from contractors supplying it to MAGA-adjacent young (and not so young) men signing up for ICE, which Ganz describes as 'an employment program for the Trumpenproletarian mob."

Opinion | Whatever Happened to Grown-Up Movies for Kids?

And just a couple of days ago we had Ross Douthat bemoaning the shortage of "grown up movies" that are suitable for children. Ross may soon get his wish.

I'm assuming the agents weren't masked since they were mistaken for police? If that's the case then we should be able to identify and prosecute them.

These Democrats are voting for Trump's agenda while going on TV to insist they actually oppose it.

We need to believe their actions, not their words.

Latest update from Columbia prez re: the abduction of their student this morning. DHS is fucking deranged.

β€œThe agents gained entry by stating they were police searching for a missing child. Our security cameras captured the agents in the hallway showing pictures of the alleged missing child.”

seems obvs to me that mamdani gets far because of his charm. why do "male self improvement" types always focus on things like looksmaxxing instead of personalitymaxxing or charmmaxxing?

It looks like he also brought props. Mamdani understands that Trump loves headlines; even fake ones. See Time magazine cover.

Meanwhile blue wavers are tying themselves into fucking knots to tell us why Democratic silence and absolute complicity are the better strategic options as ICE terrorizes the country.

"What can they possibly DOOOO?"

ANYTHING. See?
