It’s worth considering that an overnight dismantling of ICE in 2029 would release into the wild a whole herd of specialists in violence with scant other marketable skills.

Sometimes news can be good and bad at the same time.
Case in point: EU military exercises around Greenland.
The good: They are taking Trump seriously. Better that than the alternative.
The bad: WHAT THE FUCK are we doing threatening Europe by way of GREENLAND

This is the funniest thing I have read about all day.
Apparently the New Jersey legislature passed a bill allowing Milltown Borough to import an out-of-state groundhog for an annual Groundhog Day celebration. Governor Murphy veto-ed it. I have to say, this is some of the stupidest stuff I have ever heard. www.nj.com/news/2026/01...
Groundhog celebration in small N.J. town could be doomed again after Murphy vetoes bill
The bill would have eased New Jersey’s strict rules banning out-of-state wildlife, including groundhogs, from being imported into the Garden State.

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

I slightly - but only slightly - disagree with this take.
The regime is DESPERATE for a violent response to these incitements.
OTOH, I think it is at least somewhat apathetic to killing people who disagree with them.

Kristi Noem stated over the weekend that Americans deserve what they get if they get in the way of law enforcement operations, including the murder of Renee Good. If people get injured or killed, it's on them. Then she is sending more agents to Minneapolis. This Regime wants us killed.

For vegan or vegetarian depends on where you live - North and Central NJ have 4 different places called Veggie Heaven that are connected and have excellent broth.
