I don't believe I've ever seen Ted Levine speak so candidly about his regrets of portraying Buffalo Bill in THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. He and some of the crew on the film were asked about the film's cultural transphobia by The Hollywood Reporter.

I miss seeing the convertibles come out on days like this. I hope they’re all flying anti-ICE flags today.
It’s 43 degrees in Minneapolis, so of course there are lesbian couples in tee-shirts hanging outside the anti-ICE neighborhood coffee shop.

There’s a beverage that unites both Pączki Day traditions, and it’s straight out of Homer Simpson’s brain.

For those wondering how the dual holiday is gonna work in Hamtramck today, generally Paczki Day is a daydrinking celebration, and Ramadan kicks off at night.
So gonna be lots of people in a celebratory mood, but the crowds peak at different times.

Howell PD just gained two officers.
The police chief plans to fire both officers.

I think it’s time for Democratic leaders to start saying “if you’re a pilot or ground crew involved in a deportation that was stayed by a judge, you’ll be held criminally liable for human trafficking.” Everyone involved in these flights should have that fear in the back of their minds.
Overnight, this probable ICE flight landed in Benin and is now returning to Senegal, likely for a crew layover.

On this day in 1921, Congress reluctantly accepted a sculpture memorializing women’s 19th A victory. Congress relegated the memorial to the Capitol’s crypt & painted over the feminist inscription. The statue stayed entombed in the crypt for 76 years. The inscription is still not restored. #WeTheMen

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

Between this and the story about the ice agents who ate at a Mexican restaurant and then arrested some of its workers when they were done, it's a reminder that these people reject even the most basic social agreements of hospitality and of helping others. They're sociopaths.

ok sorry so what does this actually mean: it means that unless someone is starting their analysis of saving american democracy by focusing on the oligarchy, i don’t really care what else they have to say. it’s like someone talking about basketball without mentioning the 3-point line.

San Diego rents fall 5.5%—proof that building housing works.
Add 6,000 apartments, prices drop.
This eases pressure on voucher programs, helps low-income renters, makes the city more accessible.
Want sustained affordability? Keep building.

you could probably make a pretty compelling episode of television (or a short story) about a post-apocalypse world where private security chiefs killed all of their employers when the shit hit the fan and became the warlords that tech barons and billionaires all thought *they* would be
I wonder similar things about the Zuckerbergs of the world who for some reason think when the bombs drop/calderas blow/etc that they can retreat to their bunkers with security teams to keep the rabble out and not get immediately capped by said security
a thing i have never understood about a certain class of our wannabe oligarchy is whether they realize that if their authoritarian oligarch dreams ever come true, they will be significantly *more* vulnerable to the power of the state, not less
