Between Noem's comments on L.A./California and Pirro's now on D.C., there is a clear contempt for local, democratically elected government.

Breaking News: Trump Speaks for One Hour Without Explaining Where U.S. Citizens Arrested in D.C. for Being Homeless Will Be Taken When He Puts Them in Custody and Sends Them "Far Away"

The Trump regime is employing masked “federal agents” (who refuse to identify themselves) to kidnap people without due process so they can send them to for-profit concentration camps.

The criminals are the people in the White House, not the residents of the streets surrounding it.

D.C. is not a dangerous city.

Nor is L.A.

The only danger is the Trump regime and its secret police force—ICE.

They are committing crimes.
They are terrorizing communities.
They are tearing families apart.
They are kidnapping people.

They are the problem.

And we the people are done with them.

Hi, first time reading this thing that’s known for being really good, anyone on reddit wanna answer for why I personally didn’t enjoy myself on its behalf?

There is just no precedent in recent world history of an advanced industrialized country sabotaging its own scientific establishment, and destroying the base of scientific knowledge necessary for basic policymaking. An avowedly, actively anti-knowledge regime.

Weapons good

Man, The Invisbles is every bit as potent as it’s ever been, what a great time I’ve had revisiting it.

If you’re concerned about the state of press freedom in the US, look to LA and see how police are openly defying state law and a court order — all to commit violence on journalists.

LAPD is emboldened by the Trump administration’s own defiance of the courts.

Our rights are being trampled.

JD Vance’s team had water level of Ohio river raised for family’s boating trip Exclusive: Incident raises questions of exploitation of public services, but Secret Service says it was requested for ‘safe navigation’ Stephanie Kirchgaessner and David Smith Wed 6 Aug 2025 17.46 EDT Share JD Vance’s team had the army corps of engineers take the unusual step of changing the outflow of a lake in Ohio to accommodate a recent boating excursion on a family holiday, the Guardian has learned. The request from the US Secret Service was made to “support safe navigation” of the US vice-president’s security detail for an August outing on the Little Miami River, according to a statement by the US army corps of engineers (USACE). Vance was spotted in the south-western Ohio area on 2 August, his 41st birthday, according to social media posts that noted he was seen canoeing on the river, a tributary that Caesar Creek Lake feeds into. One source with knowledge of the matter who communicated with the Guardian anonymously alleged that the outflow request for the Caesar Creek Lake was not just to support the vice-president’s Secret Service detail, but also to create “ideal kayaking conditions”. The Guardian could not independently confirm this specific claim.

What good is being VP if you can't abuse your power to have the Army Corps of Engineers making your kayaking trip more ideal by changing the waterflow of a lake?

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort.

It aired in 1990.

Anyone wanna sell me The Wild Storm vol. 4?

Weird book, great pod! Come listen!

RFK Jr. backs down all the time when he gets push back, so if anyone wants to call, here's the HHS number 1-877-696-6775.
I'd also call your senators/reps as well.

My personal favorite thing about Tim Sale's Batman is that he's one of the only versions of the character to truly embody the idea that Batman is larger than life. Sale always frames him in a way that makes you believe that a crook would see him and in a flash of terror think he was ten-feet-tall.

This is it. Freeze it in amber. Hang it in a museum. The ultimate expression of the NYT and the elite class behind it.

The utter moral failure of ceding power to Trump? Acceptable ... if it is done in a clever, savvy way!

Since the Texas Constitution does not allow the governor to remove legislators from office, doing so amounts to a self-coup and the resulting illegal government would not be legitimate. This is a crisis that will spiral.

This is amongst the most impactful two minutes of broadcasting I’ve ever seen.

Inside Trump’s New Tactic to Separate Immigrant Families The practice appears to be a more targeted version of the mass separation of migrant children from their parents from President Trump’s first term, which caused a global outcry.

ICE officers told a couple they could leave the U.S. with their child and return to Russia, which they had fled seeking political asylum. Or they could remain in immigration detention but their 8-year-old son would be taken away and sent to a shelter for unaccompanied children.

So you’re telling me the Wizard of Oz presented itself as a towering force of overwhelming technology, only to be unmasked as just some guy, off-screen?

U.S. may require visa applicants to post bond up to $15,000 to enter country The State Department is proposing requiring applicants for business and tourist visas to post a bond of up to $15,000 to apply to enter the United States.

If you're from a country with a weaker economy or difficult entry requirements into the US: do not spend money on GDC. Do not book a ticket. Do not book a hotel. Do not pay for a visa. Skip that cynical for-profit extortion, or the US will take your money & spit you out.
