Who would have thought that despite *47* days of training, ICE fascists would not know basic gun safety? Oh right, everyone.

This is a California-specific bill called the "MELT ICE Act,” AB1627.

This bill may be heard in committee February 26.

“I watched him die… then I watched them maneuver his body like a rag doll— only to discover it was because they wanted to count the bullet wounds and see how many they ‘got’, like he was a deer.”

In a country with an actual free press, the photo of that poor old man would be the cover of every single paper with a headline that reads ENOUGH.

NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials: Dear Ambassador: President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state] “Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”

The more I think about this, the angrier I get. It takes a particularly virulent strain of sociopathy to sit and let hard-working people serve you a meal knowing that you plan to arrest them and send them off for deportation once they're off of work.

Really depraved shit.

Artwork of a Stegosaurus gleefully bounding after a monarch butterfly. The Stegosaurus has orange and black patterning that matches the butterfly and the plates on its back look like monarch wings.

"Butterfly Effect" is by far my favorite piece I've ever drawn. I know I keep sharing it, but I just hope it brings joy when people see it.

(Plus I don't have a whole lot of new art to share.)

This ICE agent and the man he’s accusing of not being a US citizen have the same damn accent. If this were a movie, this scene would be on the cutting room floor.

DOJ investigating Gov. Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey over alleged conspiracy to impede immigration agents Federal prosecutors are investigating Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for allegedly impeding immigration agents, sources told CBS News, an extraordinary escalation in the Trum...

DOJ is out of control. The crime of impeding federal agents requires physical force. Speaking out against the way ICE is being deployed is not a crime.

damn -- CNN put together a video of Kristi Noem claiming ICE officers are "highly trained and skilled" and "gifted" alongside to a clip of them beating someone nearly to death in Minneapolis

The Trump administration just conducted an illegal attack on Venezuela and has spoken about attacking Colombia, Mexico, Cuba, and Denmark.

These Democrats just voted to confirm Trump's nominee for Assistant Secretary of Defense:

Fetterman
Gallego
Kaine
King
Reed
Rosen
Shaheen

For those not following at home, “Heritage American” is a category of white supremacy covering people whose ancestors were white folks who were pioneers.

Bringing back Limewire to illegally rip copies of reporting suppressed by the government is definitely some cyberpunk shit

The Alarmingly Racist History of the Supreme Court’s Canceled 1947 Christmas Party The Court held its first-ever office Christmas party in 1946. The following year, the clerks suggested inviting Black employees. It did not go over well.

“The Supreme Court decided not to have a Christmas party for 12 straight years because the justices couldn’t agree on whether to invite the Court’s Black employees” is about as tidy an encapsulation of the Supreme Court’s whole deal as I can think of

They're so transparent they're removing photos of Donald Trump. And now I'm getting an "access denied" message when I go back to look.

How the hell did they let him go on TV this high and this angry?

what a gift to snl cold open writers

Ideally the dumbest person in America and the President would be two different people

YouTube video by Qasim Rashid Today: Congress Advances Abuse of Migrant Children

We need to sound the alarm 🚨. Today, the House passed a barbaric piece of legislation that would subject migrant children to invasive bodily searches, keep them in prison, and refuse to let them be released to their families.

So every time Trump claims he has a major primetime announcement the networks will give him free live airtime to give a MAGA rally speech?

Ok, I turned him on for 4 minutes and all I saw & heard & felt was a pissed off old man screaming into a microphone demanding I eat a plate of food that’s gone bad while he keeps hitting me over the head with a 2 by 4 and telling me this is the best I’ve ever had it in life.

Trump tonight:

What the absolute [expletive] was that?!?

LEFT: Heartfelt condolences on Rob Reiner's death from a kind, stable person who should have been president.

RIGHT: Obscene gloating over Rob Reiner's death from a delusional sociopath who never should have been president.
