And while we're at it, let's ensure academic freedom.

YouTube video by WCCO - CBS Minnesota Minnesotans say they are still seeing plenty of ICE activity despite drawdown

Fake retreat. They just shipped Bovino out to stop trying to manufacture riots and kept the rest.

In Amsterdam, Ukrainian servicemen undergoing rehabilitation in the Netherlands took part in a march carrying banners reading "This is who we protect."

Reports are now emerging from within the Dilley, Texas ICE Family Concentration Camp, which are referred to as “Blue Butterfly Zones.” These zones are where the camp’s young girls are being kept separated and isolated for unknown reasons.

Days after $5M donation, Trump administration backs Crypto.com in lawsuit In a document quietly filed with the Federal Election Commission on Friday night, MAGA Inc., the primary Super PAC supporting President Trump, revealed that it received a $5 million donation from Cryp...

Crypto,com donated $5 million to Trump on January 23rd.

On February 17th, Trump’s administration intervened in a federal lawsuit on their behalf.

This is what a bribe looks like.

Incompetence on top of cruelty on top of incompetence on top of lawlessness: the t–– administration in a nutshell.

t–– is despicable, cynical, and evil to the core, and he is dragging the entire nation into his vile realm thanks to the republicant Congress.

Emphasis on the "Cash"--as in never having to pay it because he can bilk us out of it.

And of course there is the requisite hypocrisy: bsky.app/profile/ronf...

"ICE agents are the equivalent of cartel hitmen" is a wild take, but Mike Lee is here for it.

He was in Italy to check "security arrangements" ahead of the World Cup.

He could fly there on his own dime and enjoy the game. But he had to bilk us and lie, thinking we are putzes.

@schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, you are paying attention, yes? Hearings next year, yes?

You'd hope a development like this one is patently unconstitutional. However, first the Supreme Court will allow it for a couple of years while the issue winds its way through the courts, ruining hopes and dreams in the process. Then it will decide by a 6-3 margin that it was illegal all along.

A moment ago my feed included Vance screaming about Democrats allowing pedophiles run free (because of the shutdown). And now I come across....

No controversies* in class? Then why go to college?

*I'm a social constructivist, which means I study how social groups crate "controversies" about...well, you name it. Can't wait to see Texas's first list of Verboten. The UT system, once one of the nation's greatest, is about to be eviscerated.

Shit. It is flabbergasting how poor the officiating is. On-field is bad, but there is a backup crew watching the game. The VAR officials aren't doing their job, either. And it goes on week after week. It costs clubs places and revenue. There's so much rot–so much injustice–in English football.

A graph of year-on-year goods price inflation

Meanwhile, it’s worth breaking down how the tariffs are going one year into Trump’s 2nd term. Goods prices are up more than 1.7% over the last year, low compared to the worst of the 2021-2022 inflation surge, but they are still meaningfully higher than any point between 1994-2020.

Higher costs, chaos, and uncertainty in one graph.

And an idiot president's whims.

You want fraud? The gop's got it--lots of it.

Nice. @stateofnewjersey.bsky.social is gonna Jersey.

And, by the way @nytimes.com, "coarse" is for salt.

HISTORICAL NASA DOCUMENTS ARE BEING ILLEGALLY PURGED FROM THE GODDARD SPACE LIBRARY. DEMAND THAT CONGRESS SAVE THEM BY VISITING THE LINK IN OUR BIO OR BY SEARCHING tr.ee/save-nasa

This one hits hard.

Damn anarchists! Cleanin' up the city an' shit.

Large banner of Trump unfurled at Justice Department headquarters The DOJ has traditionally operated with a degree of separation from the White House to prevent the department's powers from being abused for political purposes.

“I will scale the building myself to tear that shit down in three years," says a former J6 prosecutor. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.

Thank you for your sacrifice.

Ugh!

Who doesn't love the smell of corruption in the morning?

t–– axed a government program that directly benefitted people's lives and saved the taxpayers nearly $11 for every dollar spent. The cruelty, foolhardiness, and incompetence know no bounds.

A Fatal ICE Shooting Occurred in Texas Months Before Renee Good’s Killing

At this point, we should just assume they’re lying. But by their own account the kid had no record. US citizen. At the very least, it looks like multiple policy violations — they surrounded the car, fired into a moving vehicle, killed him through the driver’s side window.

Further evidence that the “great” period of our history “maga” refers to is the antebellum era.
