Not ICE. Border Patrol. They’re wearing Border Patrol uniforms with clear Border Patrol patches on them.

There are many videos of ICE officers doing outrageous stuff but a lot of the absolute worst videos are of Border Patrol, who are basically Bovino and Miller’s most aggressive tool right now.

oh so these people do pay attention to who politicians follow on social media, they just don’t care that the vice president follows a bunch of actual neo-nazis

Miller moved into military housing because he's scared of sidewalk chalk.

Maddow Blog | Poll shows the ‘No Kings’ protest movement topping MAGA in public support As the first year of Donald Trump's second term nears its end, 30% of Americans are aligned with MAGA, while 43% are aligned with the No Kings protest movement.

No Kings is more popular than MAGA.

Act accordingly. www.yahoo.com/news/articles/m...

Hegseth has fired two dozen top military commanders and derailed the promotions of others.
“His actions…have come with little explanation. In many cases, they have run counter to the advice of top military leaders who fought alongside the officers in combat.”

It's the dead eyes... it's showing how he doesn't know how to human.

Also, I think it also shows his aversion to anything remotely about being sick or dying. He's got a dislike of the reminder we're all mortal.

‘They destroyed us’: East Chicago woman with schizophrenia who opted for deportation now missing in Mexico When federal immigration agents raided Martha Porcallo Martinez’s East Chicago, Indiana home on June 12, they also arrested her 26-year-old daughter who has schizophrenia.

The feds raided an East Chicago home, arrested a mother and her 26-year-old schizophrenic daughter. She's been here since she's 2. In ICE custody, she had no meds and chose to leave the country. Now she's in Mexico, barely speaks Spanish, and her family can't find her.

Wait, this was real? I saw a passing reference and assumed it was joking. Holy hell.

I think “planning” died a month and a quarter ago somewhere around “heheh they’ll start blaming the Democrats and confirm our mandate for a Thousand Year Reich any minute now”

An administration that for months claimed unilateral & absolute authority to shutter entire executive agencies suddenly finds without any agency to move money from one internal pot of money to another

GOP SEN. JOHN KENNEDY: It may be 2026 when we'll come out of the shutdown.

REPORTERS: 😳

KENNEDY: I'm not kidding, you guys. I mean, you see what I see. Okay? This shutdown is going to last a long time. What's going to get us out of it?

Yeah, the # of millionaires in Massachusetts increased in the years after we passed the millionaire's tax. We heard alllll of the "but they'll leave!" rhetoric ahead of that ballot initiative vote.

Yeah Boston is suuuuuuuch a shithhole. 😆😆 (Not that I live in Boston, though I do live in a gateway city, also blue.)

Yep. I think it's pretty likely we're close to an AI crash.

Bear Stearns starting the 2008 crash was poetic enough (especially, looking back, the Epstein ties).

But if Palantir was the Bear Stearns of the AI crash, it'd be such poetic justice.

congrats to everyone for thinking this through before signing very big contracts to put it on every student’s device at the school or university you run

Look at the MA state House...the salary is meh, but the Speaker can hand out stipends for committee heads etc. We have quid pro quo, Speaker support, for cushy stipends, and committees that *don't even meet* so Speaker can hand out favors. We've had most Speakers end tenure in jail for corruption.

people hate hearing this but it's 100% true, creating a huge pay gap between political leaders, their staffs, and other elites is a recipe for corruption. of course the flip side of that is taxes on the rich should be jacked way the hell up

*which is solved by -- its too early in the morning to form sentences...

Yup, this is exactly why I'm not eager to ditch fobs.

My big issue is security (which good and updated app software I suppose) and then also, on occasion, I can't get my phone charged after heavy use out and about, and it gets down to little to no charge. Doesn't happen often, but I'd hate to not be able to drive if it does...

Net zero is an insidious loophole that distracts from the scientific imperative to eliminate fossil fuels | Joëlle Gergis History tells us that polite incrementalism and political kowtowing will prevail at Cop30 – even as catastrophe unfolds around us

Finally someone dares to say we need net negative, as I've been saying for some time.

The fact the woman whose car was rammed, and then she was shot.5 times by an ICE gestapo, is the one in trial...boils my blood. Nuremberg, my friends, and this asshole should be the first trial.

A good overview.

This is a ridiculous adorable story.

Is there a term for absconding with a kid?

Murdering humans in the Caribbean Sea. Risking starvation of tens of millions of Americans. Urging abusive federal agents to use deadly force.

Can Americans agree to never again elect a man who could not care less about human life, except for his own?

The White House keeps unilaterally taking entirely voluntary actions which it openly says are intended to inflict more pain and then they're I guess surprised - along with most of the DC media - about why they seem to be taking the blame for the shutdown.

HE'S APPEALING TO THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES THAT HE BE ALLOWED TO STARVE AMERICANS

LMFAO

The voices of SNAP Recipients have become political pawns. They explained, in their own words, what Trump withholding funds has been like.

New — While some states have received SNAP benefits for November and USDA is supposedly pushing through all federal payments soon, that doesn’t erase the psychological terror of the last few weeks.

I spoke with 20+ SNAP recipients in 16 states about preparing for a possible future with no food:
