I’m having a hard time shaking this video. I watched it many months ago and it sits in my psyche.

She wasn’t illegal in any sense of the law.

The #ICE agents KNEW that she wasn’t an illegal immigrant but targeted her any ways…. In Hoodies…

WTF 🤬
ICE in DC is setting up racially driven checkpoints and roadblocks. This is one on Canal Road. A large number of vehicles can be seen waiting to be towed after these agents disappeared their owners.

“The scale of the #renewables revolution in #China is almost too vast for the human mind to grasp,” spluttered The #Economist. “By the end of last year, the country had installed 887 gigawatts of #solar-power capacity — close to double #Europe’s and #America’s combined total.”

You may see reports of the Chinese EV market imploding.

What they mean is that prices are crashing but they don’t mention ICE cars imploding as well.

This car is selling for about $7700 USD apparently:

The question is ….

Is pedophilia finally “too much” for MAGA?

“Grab them by the pussy” wasn’t
“Stormy” with a pregnant wife wasn’t.
“Sexual abuse” civil charges by Carrol wasn’t
“34 criminal charges” wasn’t
“The big lie” wasn’t
“Jan 6” wasn’t

They haven’t cared before….

With a “WOW!,” President Trump posts a claim about DOGE and “royalties linked to Obamacare” that originated on a satirical website. That site’s own About section reads: “Everything on this website is fiction… If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined.”

Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

@davidebybc.bsky.social is Ontario really in a worse bargaining position? Be strategic, but those ads are a bargaining tool.

Hurricane Melissa’s “minimum central pressure, a measure closely tied to its strength, was 903 millibars, which indicates rare power. Katrina, which devastated New Orleans in 2005, was 920 millibars — weaker than Melissa.”
