Josette Plimons consumes the dead, walks among the living, and burns in the spaces between. "Ash Eater" is a short horror story written by me, accompanied by a stunning illustration by Naomi Butterfield, and is absolutely free to read. I hope you like it! buttondown.com/ChrisMJones/...

imo a part of Zohran Mamdani's appeal is he interacts with regular people spontaneously and enthusiastically in an era where most nationally prominent politicians respond to a Normal Person like a vampire seeing a cross

Missed this a few days ago:
Two U.S. citizens grabbed by ICE say there were cells reserved for Americans.
Also, they weren’t given medical attention or allowed to go to the bathroom.

I'm convinced you could easily bait Trump into a fistfight and he'd immediately fall on his ass, and it's a shame nobody has ever tried

I don’t went paying attention for a minute and have no idea how or when hananania went from “fucked up neonazi that looks like a haunted ventriloquist dummy” to “rehabilitated into a lib commentator that lib journalists all talk to” but it happened
I think guys like hanania are going to find people aren't going to be swayed as easily by the Journalist's Code Rehabilitation Procedure this time around

These are concentration camps. And these are the numbers they're comfortable sharing.
This is the sixth death in ICE custody in 18 days. This isn’t enforcement, it’s a system that cages people, outsources care, and shrugs when they die. Abolish ICE.

missed this when it happened. "Happy House" by itself is a generational performance and when you combine that with the rest of the Banshees' catalogue you gotta hold this man up as one of the unsung GOATs of rock drumming
RIP Kenny Morris. Such sad news. A truly groundbreaking and hugely influential drummer

ICE kidnapped an elderly Hmong man in St. Paul, Minnesota. The temperature was sub-zero, and he was taken only wearing shorts and Crocs, and no shirt. (1/18/26)

"Eminence Front" is an ok song but it always gives me trauma flashbacks of learning that the one Who song in GTA San Andreas would be something from the post-Moon era

Please God not another one of These Guys that I'll have to be exposed to for years on end for no discernable reason
Losing my mind at the Dems with their billionaire backers and powerful friends who have come up with the brilliant strategy that the party should adopt the policy positions of the avg MAGA voter — apparently ignoring that independents and swing voters even exist. Is this what $40 million gets you??

So to keep people in the loop, one of the biggest school districts in the state is closed Tuesday and Wednesday because they need to give teachers time to build hybrid options for families worried about their children getting kidnapped on the way to school by lawless masked armed federal goons.

"Act like a stormtrooper, think like a child molester--thats the ICE way, recruit"
Thanks. We have folks in our community giving vulnerable students rides to school, and a teacher shared that they were putting small stuffed animals on their dashboards to help kids identify safe cars. ICE picked up on it and started doing the same. Horrifying.

Is he too young to use the "retire bitch" line on
THREAD. Having just written a book about this and talked to a LOT of Democrats, I can assure you that neither Cory Booker nor the policing industry he’s advertising think that more money for ICE “training” and tech would address any problem that any person of good will has with what ICE is doing.

“I don’t think the president’s personal militia recruited from white supremacist gangs can be reformed” shouldn’t be a controversial statement, or taken as anything but an obvious statement of fact, and yet here we are.

If I didn't happen to follow an Iranian artist who posts about it a lot I would not have known that the death toll is approaching 17k
