The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

NEW: Emma Joyce died at 3 years old. The next year, her sister Ava Joan died. Then their brother died from the same complication of untreated diabetes that killed Ava Joan. Later, a fourth sibling died. Their parents believed in prayer, not medicine.

No. I can't. It would require some kind of accountability or sense of shame. I don't think you get to be a GOP Senator if you have either of those qualities in any measurable amount.

To be clear, I'm picturing putting this guy right in the middle of the interviewer's desk and lighting it up.
Classic 1970s fondue set with avocado green pot and set of 6 forks with wooden handles and distinctive colored end caps. Presumably so you don't accidentally use someone else's fork during the party.

I'd go with cheese and toast points with those long forks to make it easy to share.

The theory behind it seems to be that if you seem nice, then everyone will vote for you. It's the same fantasy that drives adoption of Republican ideas as Democratic goals. They've yet to figure out that those right-wing voters don't want nice. They want the real thing.

James Carlson @workingcode.com · 22/09/2026
There's a kind of "Minnesota Nice" that infects Democratic centrists. They don't want to offend anybody. They might privately talk about how they don't like something (right-wing activists like Musk or Thiel, or civil rights for trans people and migrants), but not publicly.

In the last decade, the IDF prosecuted one (1) soldier for unlawfully killing a Palestinian in the occupied territories. Elor Azaria served 9 months in prison. Today Israel's president, Yitzhak Herzog, pardoned him and expunged his criminal record. A clear message of 100% impunity.

But it's 100% weird to get rid of the whole policy rather than having some kind of exemption for certain acts performed under duress.

I think the weird-ass scenario he's concocted in his head is a person who was trafficked and forced into some kind of performance for someone else's gratification, and now that victim is applying for an FBI job. I can't imagine that's a huge number of people but, well, it's not impossible.

I’m impressed that they mandated these two courses on vibes alone. No curricula, only a title. Very high concept. Not in a good way, mind you, but still impressed. It’s like watching aliens trying to navigate a social gathering. They know what it should sort of look like, but not how it works.

I moved to New England from Pittsburgh almost 40 years ago. When I mention that around someone who grew up here, they almost invariably tell me about a relative in Philadelphia or ask if it’s in the mid-west. It’s the same sort of scale issue.

The first time I was eligible to vote, it was begrudgingly for Fritz Mondale. No, they will never learn that nobody actually wants “Republican-lite.” It’s trash. The leaders are incredibly stupid.

Same in the US. Centrist Democratic establishment panders to imaginary “middle” and “winnable Republicans.” Result is that since 1984, the first election in which I could vote, the party has drifted to the right and lost elections. Nobody wants “Republican lite.” They can’t learn.
