ICE Blasts Everett Mayoral Directive, Says Forces More Federal Agents into City Over National Security Threats - Lynnwood Times U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) released a blistering attack Friday on Everett Mayor Cassie Franklin, accusing her

Everett is a major city just north of Seattle.

More like this is needed.

Also note that ICE’s response is the abuser’s old standby: “I’ll give you something to cry about!”

When Barron does a tour in Iran, I will believe DJT's commitment.

Until then, he can fuck off to hell at the soonest possible moment.

The line between proper crunch and carbonized is a fine one in a toaster oven, but it’s worth the risk.

I can’t shake the feeling that the folks proclaiming that generative AI has passed the Turing test are more loudly proclaiming that they themselves failed it.

Alysa Liu literally wraps herself in the flag, and MAGA start drooling to adopt her as their own.

Across all demographics, contexts, and situations, absolutely nothing seems to be more attractive to MAGA than blatant violations of the US Flag Code.

The right is academically and morally bankrupt, as always.

They are also terrified of reality, empathy, and compassion, because they know in their hearts they cannot survive the sunlight of transparency.

Now let's make them terrified of consequences.

This is a photo of an empty House chamber where the State of the Union is given.

To the left in an insert of the person that made this meme which is circulating on X. I can’t read his handle because it’s in another language and blurry when I blow it up.

The caption reads:

I'm calling on all Democrats to give their seat at the State Of The Union on Feb. 24th to an Epstein survivor. Fill the room with the Epstein survivors!!!

Rude.

The girlfriend from Get Out was less bigoted. She doesn’t deserve this comparison.

I still can't get my head wrapped around the fact that TFG cannot fucking learn basic capitalization rules, and no one seems to give a shit.

I mean, it's not even the rules of German, it's just random insertion of capital letters where ever he feels like it.

But then, that's been his MO for years.

Wasn't this the instrument behind the investamerica dot org ad at the Super Bowl?

(Yup, URL preview just popped it up...)

No, thank you. They're stealing enough as is.

Palantir moving to Miami in hopes of shifting the gravity well of gov contracting nearer to the Winter White House is both a red flag and a hope that the con artists will just feed on each other that much faster.

God, they're *SO CLOSE* to the point, but absolutely unwilling to state it.

Yeah, we know, Mark. If the Constitution and rule of law are applied to ICE, their actions will come to a halt.

That is the goal, you absolute muppet.

Anything else is treasonous.

The idea that if the individuals in the Epstein files were frogmarched into the dustbin, that 'the system would collapse' tells you an awful lot about their opinion of themselves.

They're not that necessary, productive, or required.

I'd go so far as to say they've proven themselves quite unneeded.

Actual voter fraud does not affect elections.

Pretending it can absolutely does.

"A solution to a problem that doesn't exist" is just a polite way of saying "Deliberately causing problems".

I always use our county’s drop boxes instead of relying on USPS, but yeah.

As a middle-aged, tall, broad shouldered, white man, I absolutely feel the need to vote in person if they’re going to try and intimidate others.

I live in a 100% mail in available voting state.

If ICE decides to surround polling centers in November I will go
vote in person for the first time in decades.

Let them try.

They'll just fill the gap with AI slop generating the needed documents.

That'll have the benefit of clogging the courts.

There's really no downside for them here.
