Abrego Garcia does not go a single day without demonstrating how genuinely American he is lol
MAGA and DHS are melting down over Kilmar Ábrego García “making TikToks.”

I went to look at the video they’re complaining about, and all he’s doing is lip sync to a Christian song in Spanish about trusting God amid trials and tribulations.

Buttons are back. Knobs are back. Dumb devices are back. Own-it-forever software is back. Print is back. Personal websites and chronological feeds are back. Touching grass is back. People keep saying 2015, but it’s not far enough. The entire 2010s were a mistake. We must retvrn to… 2009.
Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars. Finally the auto industry is coming to its senses.

A fun and cool Constitutional reform we should do but never would is an Amendment making corruptly buying a pardon from a President is a capital offense and any and all appeals arising from those matters are explicitly excluded from SCOTUS's jurisdiction

Seems like a great way to force a court to rule on the illegal name change.
To recap:
*The Trump administration illegally renamed the Kennedy Center. They broke the law.
*Now they are suing a guy who refused to perform because of the name change for $1 million.

The Kennedy Center is planning legal action after jazz musician Chuck Redd canceled an annual holiday concert. Redd pulled out after President Trump's name appeared on the building. n.pr/49tB0uS

"You're obligated to perform for us, talk to us, engage with us, and like us and otherwise deal with us despite us being a bunch of incredibly evil Nazi shitweasels" is, as always, the underlying actual goal of the 'free speech' right and should be treated as such at all times
This is the logical and inevitable conclusion of the last decade of elite media "free speech" discourse.

Thaddeus Stevens wanted radical Reconstruction because he believed in the equality of men before their creator. Hannibal Hamlin wanted radical Reconstruction because he was a fierce partisan who wanted to liquidate the Southern Democrat. Heroes, both of them, though we hold Stevens in higher regard.
ICE have revealed themselves to be nothing more than the partisan militia of MAGA. When Trump became president, he did not "execute Order 66." They have been yearning for the Day of the Rope since their founding, and all Trump did was give free rein to their basest impulses.

I think we should simply ignore the Supreme Court on this and consider prosecuting them for seditious conspiracy if they don't get in line.
even if the Supreme Court says we can never touch Trump for any of this shit, the next admin should go after everyone involved in buying and selling pardons and they should do it loudly and aggressively
New reporting says Don Jr. directly facilitated the pardon of a crypto whale who had promoted the Trump's family crypto. Jr. brought the pardon lawyer to the White House, and introduced him directly to his Dad. Pardon occurred right after. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/pardon-the...

The median INS agent did not carry a weapon on their person.

The median ICE officer carries both a long and short gun.

They were heavily militarized based on an absurd premise that Al Qaeda was going to "invade America" in meaningful numbers for the actual reason of disciplining labor

I literally have no idea how any British person affords housing. Just feels like a situation where the numbers don't come close to adding up for basically anyone
My favorite factoid is that the average Brit outside of London makes less than the average West Virginian but has to deal with a housing market comparable to California.

America is a country of extreme wealth and extreme inequality, both things can be true at once
I think that this belief is more common than any of us would like to admit and it is also extremely fucking wrong. This is why it’s important to learn about the rest of the world.

There should be consequences for ICE agents breaking the law
ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.

yes. because what MAGA extremists believe and advocate is fundamentally unamerican. not conservative. not even reactionary. unamerican. these are foreign ideas that failed at enormous human cost within living memory. these are not serious people. they are maladjusted wreckers. symptomatic.
speaking as a personal example of this "heritage American" they have recently dragged back out of the rotting landfill of American history, I can tell you that even the literal DAR disagrees with these idiots! they *attend naturalization ceremonies* in celebration of immigrants becoming Americans!!!
there's no such thing as a "heritage american" and brain-damaged constitutional law professors and members of the vox cinematic universe treating it with respect is bad, and they should be berated

We found the official GoFundMe, and then their website

and found them on GuideStar with an EIN and an address.

We reached out to verify with them the account in question. They stated that the account is a fraud, and they've been trying to get it taken down for years. 🧵
