Oh no. Exactly what everyone who knows literally *anything* about it said would happen did in fact happen. Wow. So now all the other know nothings in other governments around the world who are planning on giving away everyone's privacy will stop and think for a single second, right? Right??

The number of nominally Democratic commentators who want to effectively give the GOP another Senate vote -- who are *furious* at Beshear for NOT giving the GOP that vote -- bc something something "fighting" is mind-blowing. It is the apex of a truly toxic brainrot that is going to destroy us all.

I've decided to compile a definitive thread of photos of the best sheep I've photographed during my walks in the countryside, together with supporting biographical information. I will put the vital story associated with each sheep in the alt text, since some of it is a little long to fit in a post.
A nihilistic sheep, who, like so many other sheep, just wants to watch the world burn, staring at me insouciantly, moments after it has set fire to a large portion of the United Kingdom.

Donald Trump promised the war in Iran would end with unconditional surrender. But he never said which country would do the surrendering.

Patton Oswald in Parks and Rec"Did you ever watch 'Parks and Recreation'?" Parikh asked.
"Ron Swanson was my hero, not because he just loved steak, and bacon, and everything else, but because I was a government contractor," Parikh explained. "Now, I am temporarily with the government. Right?

As tomorrow's Minnesota-wide shutdown gathers momentum, here are some of the less visible ways workers and unions are helping each other survive to fight another day, by delivering food to workers hiding in their homes with the lights off. My report from Minneapolis.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
The Gravamen of the Disclosure

4. The gravamen of the disclosure is as follows: 
a. By memorandum dated May 12, 2025 (“the May 12 Memo”), Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons authorizes ICE agents to forcibly enter into certain people’s homes without a judicial warrant, consent, or an emergency.

b. Specifically, in the May 12 Memo, the Acting ICE Director authorized ICE Agents to rely on Form I-205 (which is not a judicial warrant) to enter the residence of an alien subject to a final order of deportation, without consent, including by “a necessary and reasonable amount of force.”2c. While addressed to “All ICE Personnel,” in practice the May 12 Memo has not been formally distributed to all personnel. Instead, the May 12 Memo has been provided to select DHS officials who are then directed to verbally brief the new policy for action. Those supervisors then show the Memo to some employees, like our clients, and direct them to read the Memo and return it to the supervisor.

idk if it helps to think of it this way, but capital is not just in opposition to labor but fully radicalized against labor. they'll suffer if they think labor will suffer more. it's not about money. it's about winning.

Important to understand that Republicans do not want a functional, orderly, law-abiding immigration system. They want an excuse for the arbitrary exercise of government powers. The more chaotic and inconsistent our immigration structures are, the better for their purposes.

I AM SHRIEKING 💀🤣 Forget the statue at City Hall, this guy is the *real* Spirit of Detroit. 🫡
A review for a Little Caesar’s somewhere by Kevin S: 

Stopped into this Little Caesars just trying to get a $6 pizza and ended up in a full on action movie. Just as I grabbed my order, this furious dude barges in yelling about how I cut him off in traffic earlier.
Before I can even respond, he throws a punch but then out of nowhere the guy behind the counter jumps over it like he's been waiting for this moment his whole life and just beats the living hell out of the guy. The guy ran off and the cashier just dusted himself off. I said "are you ok man" and he looked me dead in the eye and said "B*tch, this is Little Caesars. We always hot and ready."
Five stars. Will absolutely return.

I’d revise this: Dem messaging doesn’t matter because Dems ignored the evolution of a new messaging environment — more partisan, more networked — around them, and dawdled rather than building partisan message machinery of their own.
