Sure, on the one hand, this will make people worse off and contribute to climate change, but on the other hand it means higher demand on the energy grid which raises electricity prices for us all! πŸ₯³

We used to have some societal norms against this stuff, and they were getting stronger. Then the editors and investors decided that *actually* the cultural crisis is white men feeling any doubt about themselves whatsoever.

From a report today on @npr.org: People held at Alligator Auschwitz have no legal path out. ICE says they're held on state charges, so Federal immigration judges can't hear cases for bond or anything else. The state hasn't charged them, so state judges can't hear the case because there's no case. 1/

The white supremacist mass shooter’s defense attorney stated that he acted because he believed that β€œhe had to stop the invasion because that’s what his president was telling him … He thought, if he doesn’t do it, then nobody’s going to do it. He’s got to start.”

On June 6, Anthony Aguilar, a retired 25-year US Army veteran and Green Beret, found himself facing a daunting logistical problem. He had been recruited as a security contractor for UG Solutions, a partner of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundationβ€”the Israel-backed American nonprofit now overseeing food distribution in the devastated Palestinian territory. His challenge: finding a way to feed the local Palestinian workers assisting with GHF’s efforts. β€œNobody could figure out how to get food there,” he says.

So Aguilar says they settled on a workaround: ordering stacks of Domino’s pizzas via an Israeli delivery app and picking them up at the Gaza border themselves. β€œWe then took those 27 pizzas in an armored convoy,” he says, to a GHF distribution site within the strip.

While all of Gaza starves and the entry of aid is prohibited, American mercenaries with the assistance of an IDF armored convoy are able to bring Domino’s pizza in when they feel like it.

This specific thing might be enough to flip 3 House seats in 2026. Morrison was a Bloody Sunday marcher and was at Long Kesh with Bobby Sands. Impossible to overstate the rage this induces in Irish Americans. His immigration status was essentially part of the Good Friday Agreement.

Purdue student detained by ICE and taken to troubled Louisiana holding facility Yeonsoo Go, 20, was detained after her immigration hearing in Manhattan and taken away by ICE agents.

Go, a college student, has a dependent visa (her mother, an Episcopal minister, is here on a religious worker visa), which doesn't expire until Dec. But when she tried to renew it early, ICE nabbed her and sent her halfway across the US to a detention center.

01: A girl labeled 'Artists' is holding a drawing tablet and pen under her arm. She is wearing round glasses and a blue sweatshirt. She has messy dark-brown hair and a brown skin-tone. She says "We don't really wanna MAKE A.I. art."

02: A guy labeled 'Art Enjoyers' holds his hand out while speaking. She is wearing a purple and yellow hawaiian shirt with a floral pattern over a white t-shirt, and has red hair and a light skin-tone. He says "We don't really wanna SEE A.I. art."

03: Behind them both, there is a cute girl in a business suit with a pink tie. She is blushing a bit and has pink eyeshadow, and looks upset. Her messy shoulder-length hair is parted in the middle, and held by two hairclips: one that looks like a red arrow pointing down, and one that looks like a green arrow pointing up. She says "Um ... I-Isn't there someone you forgot to ask?" She is labeled 'Shareholders'.

04: She puffs up her cheeks and pouts, a tear is on the verge of falling from one of her eyes. 'Artist Enjoyers' Guy is now in front of her yelling "AH!! SHAREHOLDERS-CHAN!!" while 'Artists' Girl is in front of her yelling "WE'RE SORRY WE HURT YOU!!!!"

Between not endorsing Mamdani, voting against Bernie's resolution against arms sales to Israel and voting in favor of many of Trump's nominees, Booker seems out of step with where the Democratic Party's base is heading. Hard to see how he runs as a progressive in 2028.
