A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Extortion, in addition to murder.
Pam Bondi's conditions for Minnesota: 1) give us all your state data on your food programs, including SNAP 2) repeal all your sanctuary policies in the state (since it has led to "so much crime and violence") and 3) hand over your state voting rolls. Letter here: www.fox9.com/news/minneap...

The same people who have long said people need guns to protect themselves from the government now seem to think it's OK for the government to shoot people if they have guns.

Too obvious a point even to make, perhaps. But there was no “unrest” in Minneapolis before ICE and CBP showed up. ICE and CBP are the cause of the chaos…and the killings.
Get them out of there.

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed.

one of the very most deeply wired of human instincts is "this is not fair" and that's why we try to build societies that are either fair or (more likely) lie to us about being fair
what these people are doing is breaking that contract in favor of "fuck you I'm doing this because I can"

The reality is that 2024 was a fundamental test of the moral character of the nation and we failed spectacularly. We’re living with the consequences now. Maybe we improve. I hope so.

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

I got a notice today from my HOA that my trailer has been sitting in the driveway too long.
This is both 1) true, and 2) a reminder that I shouldn’t have bought a house with an HOA.

In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.
The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.

So can I guess that Lickboot Josh Hawley just “hasn’t had the time” to see Trump’s post declaring himself the president of Venezuela?
CAIN: Trump came at you hard the other day, saying you "should never be elected to office again." You changed your vote on war powers after that. Why?
JOSH HAWLEY: I talked to the president and secretary of state and he said we're not gonna occupy Venezuela, and that's good enough for me

one of the weirdest things about the current moment is how the national media have to pretend like they don't know what this is about. official government social media accounts are posting about racially cleansing America and they have to pretend like it's not clear who the bad guy is.
