I'm not sure Democrats in D.C. are aware that their base's rage against ICE has reached a level of blinding white-hot intensity.

They're worried about "looking weak" for voting "against law enforcement" when they should be worried a mob of housewives is going to come beat them to death if they do.

Detained by ICE, two women became first responders during agentโ€™s seizure The women say they guided agents through the emergency, later raising concerns about medical protocols, weapons safety and accountability.

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two donโ€™t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agentโ€™s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed.

I heard the nearest Whole Foods was a zoo this afternoon and it is so funny when people in New York City in particular do this en masse, because Iโ€™ve lived here through plenty of worse storms than this one will be and people stay inside for at most 12 hours before they decide to walk to a bar

Photo of text in an article about The Wire. The text says: โ€œFor all its critical acclaim, The Wire isn't mentioned as much any more in popular culture. You don't see it in the reaction gifs on social media. Part of that, I think, is because the people who loved the show when it came out belong to those institutions that have been under sustained attack for the past dec-ade. The journalists, the politicians, the educators. All those professions have lost some of their stature. The Wire was the favourite show of a particularly 20th-century incarnation of the cultural elite, that could help keep a show on the air in a way which is no longer possible in the era of the all-seeing algorithm.โ€

I know I don't have a ton of media followers, but I'll put this out there anyway: if you need someone to comment/offer context on the removal of the slavery exhibit at the President's House site in Philly, get in touch. I just finished an entire book on Americans' fight over Washington and slavery.

The number of observers on the ground here is basically increasing geometrically, because people see some of their neighbors being abducted and others fighting back and there is zero question about who is on the right side

Minnesota is more than what you see on TV.

Weโ€™re a state that believes in the dignity of all people. We feed our kids and take care of our neighbors.

Iโ€™m proud of the ways Minnesotans are meeting the moment with decency and generosity - as we always do.

Half the battle with this guy is just reiterating government can and already does good things that are so ubiquitous theyโ€™ve become invisible. Heโ€™s able to remind you in a way that you understand that good government can exist outside of a 24/7 vengeance operation, and in NYC already does.

Eric Adams, former NYC mayor, launched a memecoin (cryptocurrency) today. He marketed it as an โ€œNYC Tokenโ€ and used media appearances and his social media to promote it.

Within hours, Adams then drained its liquidity, apparently having scammed investors out of $3.4 millionโ€”a move called a rug pull.

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

You can sum up the entirety of the good and bad things about the American character in the stories of two Mt. St. Helens victims: David A. Johnston, the pioneering volcanologist who was killed making scientific observations, and Harry R. Truman who was a dumb old dipshit who refused to evacuate.

One guy tried, unsuccessfully, to blow up a plane with a bomb in his sneakers, and everybody had to take off their shoes at the airport for the next 20 years.

Chatbots have a collective body count equal to Richard "The Night Stalker" Ramirez, and they're trying to put them in schools.
