After they had arrested/kidnapped an employee of that same taco shop.
I’m still struggling with the fact that ICE “brown shirts” went to a taco shop and thought they would get served.
F that!

I would put money on there being more felons somehow related to the Trump administration or MAGA than there are Venezuelan criminals in the US.
Trump: "In Venezuela's case it's about drugs & it's also about hundreds of thousands of people they've released into our country & some are gang members from Tren de Aragua, many are drug dealers, murderers. The prison population - their almost entire prison population was released into the US"

@kylegriffin1.bsky.social the @ama-assn.org has caved to Trump. They invited known grifter Dr Mehmet Oz to give a speech, but, the AMA board/ John Whyte decided to censor all delegates in the following way.

Again, the only possible explanation is that MTG was recently visited overnight by three ghosts.
BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.

If women are underrepresented in STEM, it's at least partly because men like this offer mentoring, then embarrass themselves by assuming their mentees must be into them, then decide the best solution is to cut ties, which sends the signal to other faculty that the mentee must not be good enough.
The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back
Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.

This is basically the sort of threats the Gestapo would make against occupied populations.
Bovino: "Whether they were criminals or individuals that were taking jobs from Americans -- you name it, that's what they were doing. And I'll tell you what's gonna happen. We're gonna go even harder on the streets. If he releases those 650, we're gonna apprehend 1,650 on the streets of Chicago."
