There's a Will Stancil hit piece in the Verge.

A screenshot of Bluesky posts, the first bring a Will Stancil post commenting on an article written about him, followed by Cait saying she will never read a Verge article...which happens to be the article Will is referencing.

This is how I knew who the article was about.

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics.

"It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

man I’m sorry to be all corny here but when I see a “the city is beautiful! There’s more to it than homeless people!” I gotta say you know who’s also beautiful? People who have no place to live & are trying to get by in a system that has turned its back on them & if you don’t see that that’s on you

That Super Bowl Ring ad backfired spectacularly.

These researchers don't seem very bright. Claude is a fancy autocorrect. It's not AI. It's not any kind if "I".

He's raiding election offices and it's only January.

What good is a protest if you won’t attach yourself to it, though? Doesn’t a protest derive its strength from willingness of people to be seen engaging in it?

Best of luck!

Orange and white cat, his behavior report is 80% good, 5% regular trespass on the helicopter shelf, 10% boisterous trespass on the helicopter shelf followed by going behind the TV, and 5% jumped on Dad's belly from a great height.

Rahm would likely be an auto-lose, but Dems never learn.

"I'm sorry I voted to fund DHS, I'm just a smol bean and didn't understand that also meant funding ICE's terror campaign. Please don't primary me"

Bill Kristol sees this shit clearly. I don't know how so many elected Democrats don't.

It drives me crazy that this is exactly what so many of us warned about back in '02. Once you have a designation that routes around all rights and due process, it is simply a matter of time before someone with power assigns that designation indiscriminately for their own ends.

Remember when this guy had a primary challenger with good odds to win and the Dems brought out the big guns to annihilate her, all the while defending this forced-birth extremist?

"We can't crack down on, or even mention, white nationalism doing terrorism or the white nationalists will do more terrorism" explains the Dem mindset perfectly, actually.

Three. OKC bombing was under Clinton, and Dems couldn't even say the words "white supremacist terrorism".

They can’t do it because it points out that they themselves are doing nothing to help. Maybe three of them saying Abolish ICE. The rest are talking about retraining and body cams and QR codes.

get in everybody

Jet Li is our dad now

I'm not drawing any false equivalence. The type of people drawn to conservative strongmen are also the type of people with few, if any, compunctions about selling out their own people for the favor of those strongmen. Rahm, Thomas, DeSantis, Owens, Negre. Even Vance, selling out Appalachia.

You can call it smaller, but it was obvious to me. If Trump learned one lesson from his first term, it was to surround himself with mewling yes-men...and I honestly think Rubio would throw his grandmother down a flight of stairs for just the possibility of being the guy who "liberated" Cuba.

You mean like every Pick Me minority conservative in history when the brass ring is at hand? Who could have foreseen this??? Clarence Thomas is actively, gleefully tearing down the foundations of every civil rights advancement in modern history, including Loving, ffs.

Yeah, man, gleefully wanting to work for/with Trump in 2024 was a massive red flag with a blaring neon sign telling us he was Trump's stooge. No one who wasn't was in consideration at all.

Hey, still wondering what specific point in Rubio's post-2016 history made you think he would stand up to Trump in any way?

I think a valuable lesson from the current moment is that american politicians, who deal in platitudes, are entirely unprepared to handle someone who actually decides to take action. Republicans are banging a machete on the table and democrats are going "what are you gonna do? cut me?"

Like, it's hilarious to pretend that turning on members of your own ethnicity and pulling up the ladder isn't a time-honored conservative tactic, but come on.
