If ICE agents begins harassing voters on the way to vote on Tuesday, we need local prosecutors to charge the ICE officers with state law crimes. We need to send a message for 2026 that they will be swiftly arrested.

This is a better explanation and coverage on the dark side of gaming and online culture than most mainstream media orgs have.

Because for years, mainstream media ignored / disbanded their gaming culture coverage.
I understand some of you don't have TikTok, but if you do, know that the explanation below is the best I've seen of what lay behind the Kirk assassination.

Robinson is an alt-right nihilist, but in a way that's hard for many to understand.

I think Aidan says what I want to say better than I could.

Neil deGrass Tyson: "How sad it must be believing that scientists, historians, scholars, economists, journalists devoted their entire lives to deceiving you, but a reality-TV star proven in court to be a lying felon is your beacon of truth & honesty"

If you’re a convicted felon and your character witness is your dear old friend, the convicted child sex trafficker and enabler of your other dear old friend, the most notorious raper of children in modern history, you’re definitely a total piece of shit.

At a family wedding, this weekend: overheard the white-banged minister telling the groom "I'm not religious, but I love language." Also: a once-impish nephew has grown up to be a Leon Trotsky lookalike. Lastly: my wild sisters still know how to have a seriously good time.

Wow - yesterday's Union Pool show was great. A fantastic, listening audience helped me play as well as I can. Feeling connection, in these messed-up times, means a lot. Knowing it's still possible keeps me going.

At one of his frequent press conferences (because he loves being on TV), I'd love it if some reporter piped up with, "What do you say to people who call you a know-nothing narcissistic asshole, Mr. President?"

Masked ICE goons pulling people off the street and hustling them into unmarked cars. Does anyone know where she is? Does she have a lawyer? So sick.

every person involved in this needs to be in prison
“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”
