"ICE and CBP must be abolished" is the only reasonable position. We can debate the specifics of new agencies for immigration functions, but these agencies are simply too infected with a culture of impunity, racism, and fascism to continue. They're gangs with badges.
Armed ICE agents trapped US citizens in a restaurant and demanded their papers. Federal agents walked into East African restaurants in Cedar-Riverside, MN. They closed and blocked the doors. Then they demanded to see everyone’s papers. Every person present was a US citizen.

Expel the yes votes from the party and cut off all their access to fundraising, then remove Schumer from leadership. Anything less is mealy-mouthed coward bullshit.
As this vote moves to the House, I stand with Democratic leadership as they refuse to rubber stamp the full-scale Republican assault on Americans’ health care and I am proud of the majority of Senate Democrats who opposed this vote.

Good thread on why Newsom’s anti-trans bent goes beyond saying things on a podcast. I do think he can be pressured into doing the right thing in the way a Republican could not, but I do. Not. Trust. Him. At all. Nor should you.

If anyone genuinely believed this ridiculous "the brain isn't fully formed until 25; you shouldn't make irreversible life-changing choices til then" grift, they'd be insisting that people shouldn't be able to join the army, get married, have kids, etc until then either.
But look: they don't.

- Religious exception rulings apply only to the plaintiffs.
- Environmental regulations continue to be enforced despite rulings against them (just not against plaintiffs).
- and on and on.
The left has to use this decision, not just criticize it.
It'll be chaos, but that's what the Justices get.

The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it.
- Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders.
- Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.

Was picking up my wife and 2 year old daughter from the airport, walking out with my daughter on my shoulders and saw Brandi Chastain. Couldn’t stop myself and started softly chanting “USA USA” as we walked by.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

The core conceit of the Twitter-remainers who insist it bad for the people who left Twitter that they left Twitter is that they'd rather be in a place filled with Nazis and white supremacists than a place filled with lefties and progressives—and believe it's wrong for others to feel the opposite.
Megan is clearly more comfortable surrounded by Nazis than by progressives, and so would like everyone who left her preferred hangout to leave their preferred hangout and come back to hers. It's that simple, but stating it that directly would mean admitting the first part.

protect your eyes, protect your head. "less lethal" munitions are lethal when fired directly at a human being and cops love to use them this way. pepperballs will take your eye out, a tear gas canister can fracture your skull.
cops will kill you on purpose and by accident, all with impunity.

time for an unfortunate media rite of passage: after 9 years at The Ringer, I was laid off this week. I’m gutted to leave, but grateful for my time there, the many wonderful folks I worked with over the years, and all the stories I got to tell

Is “ESPN Research” AI now?
Seles made the quarterfinals at the 2001 Australian Open and Chakvetadze made the third round in 2008.
What they have in common is that their first-round opponents retired after one game, which seems like a wrinkle that could easily throw a chatbot

Don’t let hippos sniff mopeds
Or a deer chew your bike
Hide big wheels from gators
They know what they like
Geese love to rub rowboats
Ducks will tickle your van
Rabbits snuggle with tractors
Whenever they can
Squirrels smooch skateboards
If a door’s left ajar
And whatever you do

@seanfennessey.bsky.social just watched Rogue Nation for the nth time and thought “this is way better than fallout”. Then I turned on fallout for the nth time as well, got to the end of the bathroom scene when Rebecca Ferguson hits Cavill with the “you must be new here” and reconsidered my position

Racist junk from fans aimed at Draymond.
1) it’s okay to say racist instead of “racially charged.”
2) Racism is cowardly. One fan left on his own before he could be ID’ed and he’s probably scared of the ID coming because he knows he did something wrong.
