"She has turned ICE into a rogue force" Congresswoman Robin Kelly I'm glad Robin Kelly is filing articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem but ICE has always been a rouge force and it should be abolished. The issue isn't just how Trump is using ICE, it's the existence of ICE itself.

Maybe instead of listening to someone that covered up the police murder of a child for his own gain, Democrats should just focus on talking about the tremendous progress many cities have made in reducing crime. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

In the last year, Dick Cheney, Karl Rove and John Yoo have all expressed that Donald Trump is too evil for them. Can you even comprehend how awful someone would have to be for these morally depraved creeps to say that someone else went too far?

Donald Trump is the public safety threat. Chicago's violence prevention efforts are working and Trump's gutting of funding for these programs & social services stand to reverse the progress made. Sending the National Guard into Chicago is a political stunt.

Democrats pushed the same republican narratives about crime being out of control. They saw to be more beneficial to spread false narratives than to talk about what they'd done to reduce crime. Those same narratives are now being used to justify military occupation, great job.

New reporting from @jeffhorwitz.bsky.social, who got hold of internal standards for chatbot behavior at Meta.
“It is acceptable to engage a child in conversations that are romantic or sensual,” according to Meta’s “GenAI: Content Risk Standards.” The standards are used by Meta staff and contractors who build and train the company’s generative AI products, defining what they should and shouldn’t treat as permissible chatbot behavior. Meta said it struck that provision after Reuters inquired about the document earlier this month.

Why did 5 plain clothescops surround a vehicle with guns drawn during a traffic stop? Why would 5 officers, surrounding a suspect, find it ok to fire nearly 100 bullets at a person? Dexter Reed, having fired a gun, doesn't absolve the cops from what they did.

One of the officers who was involved in killing Dexter Reed fired 50 shots at him. The reality is that these officers saw this young Black man as less than human, and they treated him as such.

I know 99% of the people responding to the posts about Dexter Reed are deeply unserious people but for the 1% who may be sincere: - plain clothes officers surrounding a car with guns drawn unnecessarily escalated this situation. - 1 shot does not warrant officers firing 96.
