I live in the woods, up north, sorta near Canada. I read. I sew. I help run an art gallery. I love Great Blue Heron art. I bird watch mostly when I have my morning coffee because I'm slightly disabled.

The GOP has weaponized incompetence with great success. They can rampage around the world and within America and destroy things, and it's up to the Democrats to fix everything - but it's hard, so the GOP gets to blame the Democrats for not fixing the problems they created fast enough. Rinse, repeat.

I bet money that the percentage of ICE who are criminals is greater than the percentage of people detained/deported in the raids, sweeps, and traps who have criminal records.

it's cool that so many people in positions of power and influence were so negatively polarized by "wokeness" that they convinced themselves that there was an actual debate about who wanted to erase history and the "wokes" were on the wrong side bsky.app/profile/arch...

Can you imagine being browbeaten by Stephen Miller everyday? Nothing wrong with pushing the idea that this is elder abuse.

Can I suggest that we start calling him President Stephen Miller, like we did with Musk? THAT pisses Trump off...and I would love to see him turn on the sniveling little cuck.

Every few weeks we get a story like this and it always fizzle out. Stephen Miller is in control. Let's not pretend otherwise. Even when Brooke Rollins convinced Trump to *publicly* say he'd back off of some raids, it took Miller just 48 hours to browbeat Trump into changing his mind.

Trump should be dogged forever by these two words. In my experience, protectors protect their own kind, too.
Screenshot of an X.com post by Marco Foster quoting Stephen Colbert asking about the ‘Epstein Files’ and claiming a law required their release by the middle of the previous month. Below the text is a video thumbnail of Stephen Colbert on a late-night TV set, wearing a suit and glasses, standing with his hands out.

The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.

ICE agents ate at El Tapatio in Willmar, MN, then came back hours later and detained the workers who served them. Turning a meal into surveillance isn’t public safety it’s intimidation. Remember private businesses can refuse service to ICE agents!

ICE agents eat at small-town Mexican restaurant — then detain workers
“Would your mama be proud of you right now?” a bystander said as agents returned at closing time to nab the workers.

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

If a global south country was shooting its citizens in the face and kidnapping the leaders of neighbouring countries and threatening to invade a European country, the US would take military action against it. Looks like it's time for the US to take military action against itself.

I loved this. And I want to note the whole “there were no autistic people before …” discourse has an answer here: just the people were sent away in the incarceration (yes “care homes” like this), and if they fled, they were just abandoned by society, usually to die.
