there's actually a bunch of important agencies under DHS.
on the left is the pre-DHS configuration, middle is the department from which it came, and the right is the current subset of DHS.

let me just say how unsurprised I am that the judge here is a woman
For some reason he’s starting off by explaining to the judge how to practice law?

it's the single biggest reason even beyond Trump being a dying pedophile the Nazi comparisons were always a really big stretch - our society looks *nothing* like Weimar Germany
This is a crucial point. MAGA is mostly not made up of people who want to act as foot soldiers for a fascist regime, they want to watch someone else do that. They are above all consumers of content and their love for Trump is as someone who makes the fascism-themed content the crave.

i have very much been under the "you all suck, prove me wrong" approach since early 2024, actually
I know a lot of people operate off the assumption all unions are good and should be regarded as such at all times but they are in fact very different depending on their leadership and membership.
Teamsters back Greg Abbott as unions split endorsements in governor's race
The state’s largest labor group, the Texas AFL-CIO, is backing Democrat Gina Hinojosa.

can we stop concern trolling about 2030 for FIVE MINUTES
Virginia Dems banking on 10-1 for 2026 and 2028
Could lose seats in 2030 if Dem President and red wave
But House probably lost either way at that point
Then maps are redrawn anyway due to census
Goal is to last through the Trump years

-the zero-to-100 application of racial and gender politics to buttress a dubious claim

I'm quoted (and my book is mentioned!) in this excellent piece by Jennifer Schuessler about the President's House site in Philadelphia and our broader fight over George Washington and slavery. My first time ever having my name in the NYT, pretty excited about it. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/05/a...

"rip ICE apart" doesn't seem very subtle here
We need ICE OUT of Minnesota.
They need to repair and restore what they have broken.
Then we need to rip ICE apart.

it doesn't help that almost every societal pressure is for men to not only have fucked up relationships with women but also their own sexuality and self image
and no, i don't mean 'everything is too woke', i very much mean the opposite
and no, i don't mean 'everything is too woke', i very much mean the opposite
Many men learned to have a completely messed up relationship with women and their own sexuality and conflate thoughts with actions and women with sex dolls, but none of that is caused by having a high libido or finding most women you meet attractive.

Now, I don't think literally every (cis) man in the world experiences this. There are all kinds of men. But I do assume it's relatively common, and all I can say is that it's not predatory to think or feel things, it's predatory to treat other human beings as if they exist for your gratification.

No, this is just 60s/70s New Left bs that turned into Reaganism.

So, my liberal buds, my progressive pals: you know how you're beginning to realize that ICE (perhaps the whole of DHS?) is structured to allow abuses, riddled with career psychopaths, utterly beyond saving as an institution?
Now, consider, in the spirit of inquiry: the entire federal government

the only reason there were not more people shot and killed on jan 6th was because there weren't enough cops
i think state police being at the command of every dem governor in most relevant states to this midterm is going to either scare them off, or (mostly) result in more Ashli Babbitts

They only have to do less than a dozen blue cities in swing states to make an impact. The point is to keep black and brown people away from the polls while using DHS to seize ballots and machines. These motherfuckers invaded the Capitol. Do not underestimate them.

they're getting yelled at, booed, and harassed outside target restrooms. what in the flying fuck makes you think they would be able to get anywhere near a polling station?
Yeah and put a masked armed ICe Nazi around the right 15000 polling places could depress enough votes
Always remember THEY DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH GUYS. In the realm of Online, they can just say things and have them treated as true. In the realm of Real Life, there are 115,000 polling places in America and DHS has like 15,000 dudes total.
