In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

Get that ass, Patrick!!!

And that is beautiful

Of all the ways to get hoisted, the one I hate most is by my own petard

Lodge 49

I was at that show! (I thought he was amazing, though)

Who ain’t a slave? Tell me that.

Absolutely, and of course we should expect a lot more 20-year olds now to know The Beatles than in 1988 20-yos would know, like, Eddie Cantor. But I guess if their parents don't play it for them, will they find it?

Well, if they're around 20, born in 2005, that's 38 years after that song was released. The equivalent for someone my age would be a song from 1930

It's hard for them to give up the expectation of points they can see accumulate, but they nearly unanimously like it once they've gone through it. Those who take me a second time are great allied in helping new students trust it sooner

I use ungrading methods for my freshman comp classes and assure them they'll follow some self-assessment questions and rubric and tell me their grade. The majority aren't fully trusting till our final conference when I agree with them (98% of the time, anyway).

Nothing from Murmur in replies, weak. How about Catapult?

Tears in my eyes, Go fuckin’ Gators

For sure. That's why I didn't choose The Third Policeman

Milkman by Anna Burns!

Democrats need to begin with the truth: "My opponents' intent is destruction of the public good and theft and murder of the people who live here, which poisons even the few facts they get right; therefore, there's no point in finding common ground; we should seek only to oppose and defeat them."

You can leave one NA beer on the tomb

AI is for writers who don’t like to write but want to have written, and readers who don’t like to read but want to have read.

Into the sea with the whole miserable joyless fucking lot of them.

Drive-by Truckers, obviously

The Trump Administration is racist. That's why they call it divisive. Not because history is ideologically malleable, because they are racists, who don't want you to know how racist they are.

In 2014, Israel massacred more Palestinians in 50 days than the total amount of Israelis killed by Palestinians in the prior 30 years. This has never been about a "response" to October 7. Israel has been mass murdering Palestinians for 77 years

Good scansion

Imagining A Democratic Majority What do they intend to do about all this?

Democrats owe it to the country to think through this stuff and be honest with themselves about whether they’re really up for the fight. If they are, they can telegraph it to voters by fighting harder between now and next November. If they’re not, they should yield to new leaders.

Again we see the incoherence of right-wing policy. Rounding up homeless people and imprisoning them *is* housing them! Punitive solutions to this problem also cost a shitload and require a massive bureaucracy.

They are fine with providing housing, but only if it is ineffective and dehumanizing.

It was a great time for all! We're very proud of you!

Wait, CRACKER BARREL being too woke?!?!?!?

Flow 2 poster?
