Fucking ghouls don't even understand how pissed we are about the concentration camps.

You know how much I don't want concentration camps?

I don't even want these fucks in them when we throw them all in prison.
I dont want "humane conditions" on these CONCENTRATION CAMPS, I WANT THE CONCENTRATION CAMPS SHUT DOWN AND EVERYONE IN ICE PROSECUTED AND IMPRISONED

1. go to Facebook.
2. find an article posted about ICE ignoring habeus orders.
3. copy "They literally proved in court they didn't do a crime"
4. find each reply saying "if you can't do the time, don't do the crime"
5. paste.
6. repeat.

hey all you niche communities that moved out of wherever you were, time to move again :-(

I don't think the same culture that lets illiterate parents misspell their kids names on birth certificates (and then allows them to be changed!) has a leg to stand on by insisting the gender assigned at birth is immutable.

One day I hope to match the determination of my Labrador retriever who, with all 4 paws stood atop the comforter, nosing and digging the center, refusing to budge, is certain that this is exactly how we get under the covers every night and she is right and I am wrong about needing to her to move.

I wish I could look at the Republican state governments salivating at out-fascisting each other or SCOTUS repeatedly voting 6-3 to ignore most of our bill of rights and think "yes, these sober arbiters of fair governance will surely do the right thing and put their expressly stated enemies in power"

You know what they’re going to store in those warehouses?

People
In the last month ICE has bought warehouses in:

- Hagerstown, MD: $102 million
- Surprise, AZ: $70 million
- Hamburg, PA: $87 million
- Tremont, PA: $120 million
- San Antonio, TX: $82 million
- El Paso, TX: $123 million
- Social Circle, GA: price unknown

This is unprecedented.

Saw a former colleague vaguepost about "having a shared language is important for community", opened the comments, and witnessed him get dragged by his conservative friends about his racist dog whistling. it was tasty.

Hey if you're gay, does the phrase "closeted X", where X is something other than lgbtqia, offend you or nah?

wow, software designed by the people who thought "curl | bash" was too conservative will just download and run malicious code all day long?
Who would have thought? Giving system-level and UI control to an non-deterministic agent that uses unchecked imports is actually a risk. ;)

Central Air, the podcast for centrists, is living up to its name:

Liberals: don't fuck kids.

Conservatives: fuck them kids!

Centrists: Uhm, actually, fucking some kids is fine, actually.
This level of apologia (from Megan McArdle in a podcast with Josh Barro and Ross Douthat) is fucking appalling. Idk what else there is to say.

yeah we highkey did know and nobody would listen.
If we knew at the time what we know now, many more people would have seen Trump's 2024 campaign for what it was: A campaign of deception to CONCEAL the Epstein files, that gained support by promising to RELEASE them. www.offmessage.net/p/trump-2024...

still rubbing the sleep from your eyes you blearily step to the pickup window as the baroborista announces your name and you glance down to see it.

You worry about the rest of your day as the AI decided you need a catering dispenser filled with demerara sugar, vanilla syrup, and a shot of espresso
Are you depressed? Try drowning your sorrows in whipped cream and sugar syrups.

Oh, you aren't in the mood for a coffee? Yes you are.

Dems should demand a full ICE withdrawal from Minneapolis as a condition for any deal. Please, just give us this. Get them out

* Agents to have a stipend for whistle-proof earmuffs, but graphics or camo must be paid by the agent.
* No more threatening law-abiding citizens. Accountability means follow-through.
* Bullets must have a QR code to leave feedback on a Google form. Or like whatever else the agent wants, we guess.
Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said the party agreed on three main goals:

° Require warrants in some cases and ICE coordination with state and local law enforcement

° Create a code of conduct and enforce it

° Require agents to wear body cams and not masks

I joined the liberal gun owners subreddit to see what they are talking about, and I am able to report that liberal gun owners are *almost exactly* as crazy as conservative gun owners in *almost exactly* the same ways.

Oh, Alex Pretti broke a taillight a week before his murder so that's ok?

If so,

1. DHS give us the names of every agent, and

2. DHS should summarily execute in the street every agent involved with ramming a victim's car. Broken taillight=death! Line em up!

This is all ridiculous.
January 29, 2026 at 3:08 PM
1. Since they are masked we don't know if these were different agents. Since they lie about everything related to ICE, I'm not willing to even give them this tiniest benefit of the doubt.

2. The punishment for breaking a taillight (if that is even true) is not summary execution in the street.
More than a week before federal agents killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, different agents pushed him to the ground after he spit at them and broke a taillight on their SUV, according to newly unearthed videos. Watch here.

Masculinity?

They want you to buy into it because it's easy to sell.

It's not what you really want. It's not what's lacking in your heart. Truth is, you're already as masculine as you need to be.

Is it power? Often masculinity and power are mistaken for the same, or as if one grants the other.

Hey before you check out that awesome looking FT remote job at Target HQ, just keep in mind:

1. they recently used RTO as an excuse to lay off a lot of people. That will include you if their numbers stay bad.

2. they are still doing the anti-woke culture war bs.

3. they collaborate with ICE.

It is just so hard to tell which of Noem or Miller are behind this whole thing.

We may never know!

Oh well, I guess we will have to get rid of them both. dang.
Genuinely interesting. Kristi Noem is snitching that Stephen Miller is the one who made up the bullshit about Alex Pretti.

It would be genuinely useful if Congress can get her to admit that he has been dictating ALL OF THIS just like he dictated the murderboats.

The silliest thing about following a lot of lawyers on bsky is this:

Trump goon: *flagrantly violates some order*

Judge: I might be annoyed

Legal bsky: OOH SHIT JUDGE ABOUT TO GO OFF

Judge: Don't do it again.

Legal bsky: 1000% REKT! NO RECOVERY OMG SHAME FOREVER!

Trump goon: *does it again*

I know this is small potatoes in the grand scheme of things but these guys are paid with your tax money and have no real job. ICE isn't necessary. They don't get rid of criminals. They just terrorize communities. And THAT'S why they should be abolished. No need for reins. It's not a job!
ICE being extremely professional
