US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:
"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means

I’d probably reevaluate this if crime spiked in my neighborhood or something, but the concept of intentionally surveilling myself and my family is like viscerally repulsive to me. I don’t even share location with my husband most of the time.
if you have a ring camera you are a child, terrified of the silhouette of a jacket hanging on a chair. you are lower than a worm to me. you have sold your soul to a devil that has offered you nothing in return

This is the Yale professor's explanation for why he described the physical attractiveness of a student in an email to Epstein. He explicitly says he regrets nothing about their association.
Again, I'm so happy Yale hired David Brooks to restore trust.

Look it’s a net positive for even one person to wake up. But it’s also frustrating to read stuff like this and be like….YEAH. DUH.
“I think people are realizing it was all a lie. It was a big lie for the people. What MAGA is really serving in this administration, who they’re serving, is their big donors,” Greene said in a Wednesday interview with radio personality Kim Iversen.

Huge news! They actually released Liam Ramos and his father!
Please remember that ICE is abducting more people - including children - all the time. And they will no doubt keep trying to harass and destroy this family.
Defund and abolish ICE and support immigrants!

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."
Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

i think this is exactly right. fascism is the Death Drive as ideology. it's why the catastrophic end of the Nazi Party does not deter people from worshipping Nazis. that the Nazis destroyed Germany along with the rest of Europe is part of the appeal.

I can’t get over how so much of the animus with these people is being mad that they don’t control pop culture. They’ll see like Billy porter on a red carpet and get so pissy they have to ruin everyone’s lives
Tuberville: "Unfortunately we've got the Woke Bowl, because we're getting more and more woke. We got Bad Bunny or Bad Rabbit at halftime. I'll be watching the TPUSA halftime show. It's just unfortunate we've gotten to this point."

A weird dynamic here is that Trump obviously has no empathy or conscience but clearly recognizes the Good murder was at least a bad look whereas JD genuinely hates her and has completely lost sight of the fact that not everybody has school shooter fantasies about white women
If J.D. Vance is really visiting here tomorrow to visit the church that got protested because the pastor (get this) is also running the ICE field office in town, you know that this ethnic cleansing campaign is running out of juice. Trump is making J.D. wear and own it.
