Tom Homan is claiming that he wants "access to the jails" in exchange for ending the siege on Minneapolis. Be clear that this is just a lie.

1) Jail rosters are public information and every LEO agency has access to them. They regularly pick up people to deport all the time, everywhere.

Hey everyone,

We literally just added 100 more trans girl scouts to the trans girl scout cookie list. The list is bigger than it has ever been in EITM history.

Go get some cookies and make a trans scout's day!

It's horrific but also this is pretty much a regular arrest. That's how violent arrests are. I am glad people can see it and be horrified -- that's what police are out there doing every day, legally. Every 3 seconds basically.

Four Oglala detainees located, three still in ICE custody - ICT The four Lakota detainees were reportedly sent to a former concentration camp used during the Dakota Wars

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars.

Anti-ICE Protester, 21, Permanently Blinded by Federal Agent Who Shot Him with Non-Lethal Bullet at Close Range, Aunt Says A protester demonstrating against ICE in Santa Ana, Calif., was struck with a non-lethal round fired at close range by an agent, leaving him permanently blinded in one eye.

Permanently blinded. Shards too close to his carotid artery could not be safely removed.

ABOLISH ICE

MAGA Boomer: At your age in 1970 I paid off college & bought a house w/hard work

Millennials: In 1970 college was 5% of median salaryโ€”Now itโ€™s 44%. A median home was $24Kโ€”Now its $417K. The top marginal tax rate was 70%โ€”Now its 37%. Sure maybe you did work hardโ€”but then closed the door behind you.

I love to be told that feminism has failed women by women whose careers and ability to flourish in public life, let alone have a credit card, only exist because of feminism

If we're improving SNAP by making it universal, we should also improve it by making it cash. We should trust people to use money for whatever they most need, not restrict them from buying stuff "for their own good" as if they're children.

Universal basic income is what we should do instead.

The real reason Venezuela matters
YouTube video by Sky News The real reason Venezuela matters

This is a good video for anyone wondering why the US as the #1 producer of oil would want Venezuela's oil. The answer: our refineries want their oil, not our oil.

Can we please just move on to green energy and stop invading countries and mass murdering for this shit?

watching this in public was a huge mistake, oh my god. the fact he's still eating like he isn't being violently thrown around is killing me.

the โ€œyou should love aiโ€ line is best outlined by a recent joe rogan episode. he LOVES ai music and always tells guests this. a guest pushed back on him saying โ€œiโ€™ve heard ai podcasts are amazing tooโ€ and joe rogan immediately pushes back. losers love it until it comes for them

I'm not sure if people realize the murder strikes are taking place across a large region. It's quite staggering.

Armed Parkland police officers ran away
Armed Uvalde police officers refused to act
Unarmed Arab Muslim Ahmed el Ahmed took 2 bullets to protect Jewish neighbors & stopped the mass shooter with his bare hands

Never forget: A good guy w/o a gun had more courage than 100s of cops with unlimited guns

When 97% is 'no clear consensus', and 52% is 'the will of the people', it's time to face facts that Governments do what Governments want to do regardless of what their people actually want.

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naรฏve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you knowโ€™s favorite movie. If youโ€™re a Californian, heโ€™s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

A Quote Tweet from NYC Councilmember Vickie Paladino @VickieForNYC stating:

โ€œWeโ€™re in the midst of a global jihad the likes of which the world has never seen, and we cannot ignore it.

โ€œWe need to take every seriously the need to begin the expulsion of Muslims from western nations, or at the very least the severe sanction of them within western borders.

โ€œThe administration needs to begin developing a formal legal framework for the denaturalization process and get it over with before we end up with another 9/11 or worse. Enough is enough.โ€

A million Muslims live in New York City. We belong here, as does every other New Yorker.

This is vile Islamophobia from the Councilwoman and it has no place in our city.

Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers.

NO TERF WIZARD GAME. NO TERF WIZARD SHOW.

The people who make generative AI tools are trying to sell destinations by waging a war on journeys.

They take it for granted that no one enjoys the experience of doing anything creative, provocative, or cognitively demanding. That's the audience they pitch to.

And that's why they're failing.

The one year anniversary of Yoon's failed martial law takeover just passed and lots of untold stories came out proving that THE ONLY REASON KOREA IS STILL A FREE COUNTRY IS BECAUSE PEOPLE DISOBEYED ILLEGAL ORDERS.

The coup was over in hours because people said no.

this is the thing that always gets me about the British and class. The ones policing it are those who are firmly middle of the pack. theyโ€™re the ones with a complex about it and rather than trying to dismantle it in a way that would help everyone, they throw themselves into enforcement
