What a pathetic whiner. This is not an "all Jews have dual loyalty" bias, it's a "this specific dude was so into Israel that he implied he was in the IDF when he wasn't."

This is deeply disturbing, especially after reports of growing concerns about the conditions at this facility. An investigation must take place.

If you drink whole milk you too can finish tied for 5th
lots of good theories going around about the weird whole milk advertising going on right now, but my personal one is the milk industrial complex is worried and mad about the growth of milk alternatives like soy or oat milk and want to reclaim previous cultural dominance

it’s an odd feeling: there are dozens of people in my neighborhood whose names I don’t even know, but whose now-familiar voices give me strength and who I’d literally trust with my life. there are thousands in Minneapolis who I know I share an overriding purpose with - almost all anonymous to me

Completely untethered to First Amendment jurisprudence
Judge Kacsmaryk writes to say that the First Amendment only protects "public discourse necessary to self-government," as he slurs drag and holds it not protected.

if you try to focus on Trump’s authoritarianism, Schumer will deflect and say people want us to focus on affordability. but when Zohran Mamdani made affordability the heart of his campaign Schumer refused to endorse him because they disagree about Israel. it’s all mealy mouthed bullshit.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.
And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”
Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Yes, but a Democratic party unwilling to shut down the government over ICE's abuses is not sufficient right now.

The fact that they can think this despite her Skremetti concurrence oof
To give you a sense of where the conservative movement is these days, over on X, right-wing influencers are losing their minds over the Supreme Court's trans sports ban cases because Amy Coney Barrett is "ignoring biological truth" by, uh, using the phrase "trans girls" during oral argument
Conservatives On X Are Pretty Sure Amy Coney Barrett Is Woke Now
The author of the perhaps the most aggressively anti-trans Supreme Court opinion in recent memory is getting branded as an ideological traitor who ignores “biological truth.”

Seizure ... by whom? If we're asserting that the money is safer in Qatar than the US, that suggests that it is being protected because Qatar has something the US lacks — presumably a lack of accountability to American courts and Congress. www.semafor.com/article/01/1...

On Fox 9 just now they interviewed a woman at the scene in Minneapolis. She says she’s not an activist but felt a call to action like she hasn’t felt since 9/11. She says she was raised to love America. She says she’s never felt scared of the government in her life, until now.

Cripes a’mighty people, Steven Miller is not staging a militarized ethnic cleansing and sending the border cops to murder people in the street to distract from the Epstein files. He’s doing it because he and Trump (and Vance and Homan and Noem etc) really really want to.

Koh: Trump has now spent $30 billion from the last bill for 10,000 more I.C.E. Agents that are going to be on the streets. That $30 billion would cover all the ACA subsidies for a year. It would eliminate all co-pays for prescription drugs for people from a year, and eliminate all medical debt.

WHY are news stations reading DHS statements out loud as if they have ANY credibility at all? They literally murdered a woman in cold blood LAST WEEK and are still lying about what happened, even though we can see what happened. That any credibility would be given to their statement is insane
