I donโ€™t know if the average person realizes how ridiculously bloated our military budget is, and how cheap it is to just help people.

I can officially confirm that the snow in NC is roughly one (1) corgi deep

Very important vote. It makes repealing ICE surge funding the mainstream position in the party, with bipartisan support.

So after seeing this and having the song stuck in my head for a couple of hours, I thought "didn't they have a better song that got a little radio time?"

Re-listening to "Water's Edge" and its "In the Air Tonight" if the narrator was a coward.

Since ICE is kidnapping children, this comes across as more of a threat

Obviously the real threat is that the feds are harassing protesters.

The fascists vastly over-estimate how many people support their actions. Protesting ICE isnโ€™t anything shameful.

The Trump admin is scrambling because the secret police it sends out for kidnappings and rioting has been killing people on video then brazenly lying about it, but Schumer's instinct is to whip his caucus into taking a position *more conservative* than that held by the median voter.

He's got to go.

I struggle with completing tasks because of ADHD, so I decided to knock something off my to-do list at work that's been there for a few days too long.
And I didn't let anything interrupt my focus--not the reminder of my psych appointment, not the call from my psych or the voicemail they left...

Similar when people say trying to impeach Trump is worthless because thereโ€™s not enough votesโ€”the process would hurt and slow the administration.

YouGov is out with a new poll after ICE killed another person in Minnesota today. Abolishing ICE is now +5 among all adults, and **+12 among independents**

Glad we didnโ€™t jinx the Seahawks by leaving the pub at halftime. Fireworks just went off in the neighborhood.

My wife is also curious whoโ€™s funding this. Sheโ€™d love a weekend hotel getaway with some moms, practicing resistance and drinking wine.

I unfollowed Will a bit ago because he seems to like the online drama and thatโ€™s exhausting but the people fighting with him seem way worse. Heโ€™s boots on the ground chasing ICE while theyโ€™re calling him performative from their keyboards?

Itโ€™s American Cold War foreign policy all over again, but even more incompetent.
