More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

NEW: The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did.

We found more than 170 such incidents since the start of the second Trump administration. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

Lead/lede. Two different words.

How would you feel if—hypothetically—our country’s leaders shut down the entire government just to protect an elite pedophile network?

The dish is called Crab Rangoon. Did you eat one dumpling? You ate Crab Rangoon. Did you eat eighty-four dumplings? You ate Crab Rangoon. *Still working on my hostile delivery*

Friendly PSA for today: "coarse" and "course" are not interchangeable. This will be my last friendly PSA. Future PSAs will be hostile and aloof.

You're right, but a raging malignant narcissist is self-destructive and weak just as much as they are dangerous. They flail, and they fail. I think it's important to remember that perspective.

Or at least put quotation marks around it like you did.

Today's friendly PSA: Home in. Hone down.

Indeed...Now zoom way out on those '24 swing state numbers and tell us what ELSE you see.

Bloodied Faces, Sobbing Children: Immigration Officers Smash Car Windows to Speed Up Arrests We’ve documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts say was rarely used before Trump took office. ICE claims its officers use a “mini...

@propublica.org has documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts say was rarely used before Trump took office. ICE claims its officers use a “minimum amount of force.” You can judge for yourself.

Trump is making thousands of rule-abiding immigrants undocumented Inside the largest delegalization campaign in modern US history.

They fled violence, sexual assault, and death threats.

Now thousands of legal immigrants, many of whom developed deep roots in the US, are at risk of deportation, marking the single largest delegalization campaign in US history.

NJ has miles upon miles of beautiful beaches, and each beach town has its own unique vibe. Some are much better than others for surfing, but I couldn't tell you which ones- give 'er a google. You should check it out! (*I'd just avoid LBI aka 'the maga riviera' strictly on principle)

Let's stop giving this attention whore oxygen.

Friendly PSA for today: "Ravioli" is already plural.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

No one has an expiration date.

Friendly PSA for today: "leery" and "weary" are not interchangeable.

Friendly PSA for today: "exacerbate" and "exasperate" are not interchangeable.

I'm not a medical professional so take it from whence it comes, but I see in JF signs of a very different psych situation, not NPD. (In 47, well, it's so painfully obvious I have no problem declaring it confidently with a rubber stamp even as a layperson)

Friendly PSA for today: "We're expecting heavy RAIN, so I'm going to REIN in my rambunctious pets even though they normally have free REIGN over the backyard."

In my view, not voting at all is never the answer. At least not in a democratic republic.

Could have. And yes, we indeed could have.

Americans Believe Russian Disinformation ‘To Alarming Degree’ A third of Americans have fallen for Russian disinformation as well as other false online claims about health, elections and international conflict.

Americans Believe Russian Disinformation ‘To Alarming Degree’

"Republicans were, though, more likely to believe Russian disinformation claims than their Democratic counterparts, with 57.6% falling for at least one Russian disinformation claim, compared with just 17.9% of Democrats."

Unless and until it's 100% we have a serious problem

Friendly PSA for today: You can be LED to water, but you shouldn't drink it if there's LEAD in it.

Yesterday, TX Rep. Keith Self (R) quoted Nazi Joseph Goebbels on controlling public opinion🤬

Using Nazi propaganda is more than vile; it’s a flashing red siren. This is how democracy dies: not with a bang, but with silence in the face of fascist rot.

America, do not be silent.
Call out evil.

Your friendly PSA for today: If you LOSE weight, your belt might be LOOSE.

A "meat-style" veggie burger with white american cheese and bacon (I know, I know...counter-intuitive, but it just works) on a potato roll with a little ketchup and *salt and vinegar popchips. (*not on the side, they go on the burger)

And I have a feeling the proposed "federal crypto reserve" is wrapped up in the clearly intentional tanking of the markets too but I haven't put my finger on it. (Besides the obvious, enriching a few billionaires)

If only!
