More and more of my colleagues are finally starting to realize what we knew: Reforms are not enough. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.

There’s a sentiment among some locals that eyes on Minnesota are waning. The situation has NOT changed here.
Local resistance is tired, but of course never giving up. Please stay plugged into the news of the Minneapolis ICE occupation and donate where able.
We need endurance in this moment.

It occurs to me that being a billionaire must be an awful lot like having EVERY conversation with ChatGPT: Everything you say is a pearl of extraordinary insight, until you lose all realistic sense of your own capabilities.
This really is a very good piece. I think quite a lot lies behind it. First that the *actual* education of the likes of Musk etc is very superficial. Just enough Western Civ classes at elite universities for them to persuade themselves that they are talented intellects without any deep study.
One lesson of the Epstein emails is the total intellectual vacuousness of the international business elite

Cmon now guys. If any Dem says anything besides shut down until this is all gone then there's no need for federal government at all. These are concentration camps. If you're too scared to say so then you're part of the problem.
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.

Libertarians are the freshman seminar of American political movements
“Libertarians are like house cats, they’re convinced of their fierce independence while dependent on a system they don’t appreciate or understand.”
It is mostly a philosophy for people who like to scold others, but cannot be bothered building a damn thing.

Just unspeakably cruel
Metry and her husband of 4 years go to DHS to get their I-130 in motion. "Good news" a DHS employee told them, the form to start her naturalization was approved.
DHS employee asks the husband to follow him through a secure door. When it locks behind him, ICE detains his wife to deport her.

EXCLUSIVE: Terez Metry was 13 when her family fled to Tennessee from Egypt in 2011. Then, they left her behind. She only recently discovered she had an order of removal from 2011. But she was following the legal path to citizenship. On Monday, at a routine DHS meeting, Metry was detained.

...were privately "vice signalling" Jeffrey Epstein about how they wanted to be his friend & have sex with children!

time to roll the sleeves up and look at this Rockets game. Broke it down on the pod but it's not just putting a big on Thompson. It can't be that + we sag off Thompson + we can put a wing on Sengun + we can switch. Have to knock *something* off the table or defenses will dig in

At Y! Sports: Wrote about an Anthony Davis trade that nobody saw coming, the opportunistic Wizards trying to ride distressed assets back to relevance, and the Mavericks accepting their sunk cost as the cost of doing business moving forward: yhoo.it/3ZiaL4Y
The shocking Anthony Davis trade ends a painful era for the Mavericks, but what about the Wizards?
Dallas took a significant first step in the process of building its roster around Cooper Flagg.

Good read.
"A policy-based appeal that proposes incremental changes... is not enough to overcome the deep-seated cynicism that keeps many voters home."
My organizing work has shown this to have been developing far longer than the authors' report but no less true for the data to catch up.

The Epstein files aren't a distraction - they are the key reason for how our society fell apart.
We let our elites act with impunity, up to & including running a child sex trafficking ring.

Why didn’t Biden’s DOJ do anything about the combo of coup attempt and pedos? Files were unsealed in early 2024 so plenty of time. It’s beyond Bill Clinton being implicated. I think it’s because it takes down elites of all stripes. What an indictment (pun intended) of so many in the ruling class.

Reminding people again that this is a pro Nazi, pro Gestapo paper and you need to realize it's not much different than Twitter or Fox News. It's entertainment for fascists. Talking points for the soulless. Hard pill to swallow, I know. But. This guy wasn't "pushed". They broke his fucking ribs.
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.
