Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

Hey funny story!

Remember how for like 20 years we said if you tell people to only study STEM that job market would tank & also no one would be able to think critically about rhetoric or ethics, know what happened at any point in history or value much but money?

Man, I love that one. Cracks me up.

The wild thing about the cultural impulse to reaffirm that it's okay to be thin is that its inverse isn't present in mainstream discourse. There aren't op eds arguing that it's NOT okay to be thin, or that you SHOULD want to be fat. It's a defense to an attack that simply doesn't exist.

Abolish ICE and fire all agents is the moderate position.

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

Thousands march to ICE facility in South Portland A large protest took place in South Portland today from Elisabeth Caruthers Park to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility.

Just returned home from the anti-ICE protest in Portland today. A 100% peaceful crowd that the Portland Police Department (PPD) estimated to be "in the thousands" marched past ICE's Portland HQ.

ICE, of course, responded with a barrage of tear gas and chemical rounds to suppress free speech.

It's hard to overstate how ell-organized the portland march that got gassed was... organizers made the crowd promise to be peaceful, said the march would slow in front of the ICE building but not stop, that we would stick to one chant (ICE Out). They did absolutely everything right and got gassed.

ICE has now purchased at least 1,639,595 sq feet of warehouses in Texas they plan to use as camps. One just 20 minutes from my house.

And that’s just two articles I’ve seen this week.

They are not changing course.

For the second frigid Friday in a row, thousands of demonstrators marched through Minneapolis to protest President Trump’s immigration crackdown.

Others across the country also answered the call to protest, from New York to Texas. https://wapo.st/4boUUsz

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.

But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.

Don Lemon is not the only reporter who was arrested by federal agents overnight β€” local independent journalist Georgia Fort just went live on FB to say federal agents were also at her door to take her into custody over her protest coverage in Minneapolis.

IDF accepts Gaza Health Ministry death toll of over 71,000 Palestinians killed in the war Although Many International Experts Have Accepted the Health Ministry's Data as Reliable, and Even Conservative Relative to the True Death Toll, Israel Had Refused to Accept the Health Ministry's Coun...

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable.

Biden himself said they were fabricated!

This is why I have real fucking problem with blithe criticisms of "polarization" or "congressional dysfunction." We have a Republican member blaming his colleague for being attacked.

The problem isn't polarization or dysfunction. It's the Republican Party.

'The folks are fearful.' Haitians living in Ohio may soon lose temporary protected status β€’ Ohio Capital Journal Thousands of Haitians living in Ohio will lose their temporary protected status next week unless a federal court blocks it.

Haitians in Springfield, Ohio lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. There will very likely be a major ICE incursion the next day. Haitians in Springfield were the targets of Vance’s lying during the campaign.

Think about it like this. This ICE agent was on camera and unmasked β€” fulfilling one of three "demands" Democratic leader Chuck Schumer just issued in order to agree to save Republicans and give DHS even more money.

And he was still threatening to kill someone.
