What is wrong with you

Indiana ICE immigration bill heads to governor’s desk for final signature into law The Indiana Senate approved a bill that allows local and state police to enforce federal immigration laws and cooperate with ICE.

Events like Gen Con owe their community an explanation of how they intend to ensure the safety of convention-goers who may be targeted due to national origin, racial profiling, or “gender policing” in a state like Indianapolis, while justifying their continued presence in such an unwelcoming state.

This is disgusting. Rationalizing the bombing of a school that reportedly killed 108 girls.

But since she asked,

"Currently, 161 public schools operate on military installations across the United States."

Guess we better hope Iran can't afford to hire someone on TaskRabbit to point a $12 Radio Shack directional mic at this tent.

Operation Metro Love Thy Neighbor Hello Friends of Operation Metro Love Thy Neighbor! Many of our neighbors in Minneapolis are being targeted based on the color of their skin, their accent, or their country of origin. From a healthcare standpoint, this is leading to very scary outcomes, as patients are terrified to leave home and are foregoing necessary care in an effort to stay safe. For moms and babies, medical professionals scramble to meet these needs and to ensure patient safety. As neighbors and community members, we want to ensure these moms and babies have their needs met in terms of supplies, personal care items, and infant and toddler items. While it's a far cry from a baby shower, we are doing our best to ensure that our neighboring mamas have what they need in times of massive distress. All items purchased on this list will be delivered to me and then immediately sent out into the community for maximum impact. On behalf of all the mama and baby teams, we so appreciate your love and generosity.

These items will go to immediate homes and be appreciated. [heart emoji] Thank you! ITEMS NEEDED: diapers (size 0-6)*, baby wipes*, pacifiers*, teething items*, free and clear detergent, baby shampoo, baby-safe lotion, infant clothing (all sizes), infant hats, baby blankets, burp cloths, swaddlers, hands-free baby carriers, breastfeeding guards*, feeding pillows, maternity pillows, belly bands, nipple cream*, pimps, infant safe toys, pack + play, epsom salt."

We're seeing a drop off in newborn donations in Minneapolis. Birth workers are seeing small/early babies due to stress/food insecurity—ICE has not stopped—families still in desperate need of support. If you're able, here is a wishlist compiled by folks doing mutual aid

What a fucking embarrassment to be Marco Rubio. Can you imagine having so little self-respect? This is “human ash tray” territory.

If Khamenei is dead - and presumably has been dead potentially all day, the fact that the Iranian military has been continuing to launch strikes (and is reportedly launching more as I type this) should give anyone thinking otherwise pause about how likely his death is to lead to regime collapse.

Even if you don't get added to the DOD Signal chat, you can just hang out in DC area restaurants to overhear investment and Polymarket opportunities!

Gonna guess that at least of the price action in the market on Friday was driven by insiders, or by people who could hear admin insiders yapping about it in public before it happened.

A special message from David 🫶

to be clear I'm just joking around ... I do think some kinds of AI are going to be normalized but the more familiar everyone becomes with it, the more apparent (I hope) that the ones replacing people in creative fields (image, video generation for example) are bone temples of IP theft

Having spent too much time on r/Wallstreetbets I am sure someone out there can't wait to short /CL because this was "already priced in"

That's a bold trade, lets see if it pays off

What, where? I'm used to them opening 5 pm Central on Sunday.

Still up on the official White House website:

The Pentagon war-game people I sat with back in 2004 said this would be the (utterly foreseeable) first counter move after a attack on Iran.

And not the last.

Iran Says 40 School Children Killed in Strikes Iran said that at least 40 elementary school children were killed as the result of an attack in Minab, in Iran’s southern province of Hormozgan, according to state broadcaster IRIB, which said 48 more...

Other figures say 40. Posting for clarity but whether it’s 85, 40, literally any number big or small, a dead child is a dead child. They didn’t do anything. We are not the good guys here.

Spent $27 at Wendy’s on some late-cycle Baconator calls. When the combo gapped up after tray delivery I initiated a 60% ketchup hedge against unrealized sodium exposure. I was comfortable with the burger retracing to room temperature support or continuing its upward grease momentum, as long as mouthfeel profits were secured. Mid-bite I dynamically rebalanced fry allocation and layered three conditional Frosty offsets in case of unexpected dryness volatility. On wrapper open I executed a full napkin market order as I identified structural support near the bottom bun. Scaled consumption from large bites to small to optimize liquidity flow. just eat the fries in the bag bro and stop yapping 😪

This might be the GOAT of r/Wallstreetbets posting

Look, if you want to claim credit for ending wars, you need there to be wars first

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done

- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy

With alt text. I’ve…never seen a court talk like this before?

We had a deal to keep Iran from getting nukes!

Trump backed out of it because he wanted to own Obama. Iran kept following its end of the deal for a year anyway, begging Trump to reenter the deal.

Trump literally backed out of the no nukes deal and then initiated a war because of nukes. Insanity.

I was not intending an "attempting regime change" theme when I set up autoposting of this last Fork ICE February sale yesterday, but here we are

This is amazing and I am here for learning things like this instead of how many people we can kill on the other side of the globe.

Reposting. Still my personal opinion.

I’m going to get out in front of this talking point:

Israel did not ‘trick’ us into this very stupid and illegal war. We have longstanding interests in the region and almost half century of tension and quasi-war with Iran that is bigger than Israel.
