In fairness, the only people with the privilege and power to do something about this authoritarian power grab are occasionally complaining about the issue in private

Really makes the history books look fondly on you to take that route

Sixty people crammed into one cell. Detainees forced to sleep standing up.

These aren’t just illegal actions at the Broadview ICE facility β€” they’re inhumane and immoral.

It’s time ICE and Trump allow Members of Congress to enter and inspect these facilities. No more #BlueSky #NewsSky #MedSky

What we actually die from is REALLY DIFFERENT from what we worry about, and there are very obvious reasons for that; we are constantly warned about things that are vey unlikely to happen to us

and those grocery stores -- a lot of them in rural areas! -- are going to take a *massive* revenue hit. And unlike other products like cellphones or TVs or whatever, food has an expiration date! If you don't sell those bananas *this week* then you will not be able to sell them *at all*.

something I think a lot of people do not think about re: SNAP benefits is the knock-on effect. Just like how many hospitals are functionally subsidized by Medicaid, a ton of grocery stores are essentially funded by SNAP; when those benefits don't go out, the people who get them can't use them

I have a feeling a lot of the younger maga men are just desperately looking to belong in some way

A slightly different type of internet algorithm might have led them all to be bronies instead

The Peril of a White House That Flaunts Its Indifference to the Law

@nytimes here is a question to ask; how is there any way to contrast these brutal, lawless actions with the president deciding to pardon the founder of the biggest fentanyl marketplace of 2010s in his first week www.nytimes.com/2025/10/24/u...
