A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

If Leftists are so out of step with the rest of the country, then doesn't this presume that Leftists are ALWAYS engaging with people who disagree with us???

I have a metal cage and a cadaver bone replacing a vertebrae in my body and I still have more of a spine than ABC.

Your periodic reminder that one way to think about privilege is: who's allowed to make mistakes?

I am once again begging people to realize that the law is words on paper and is not self executing.

"That's illegal" is not and has never been synonymous with "that's impossible" or "that can't be done."

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

"Wait, you're in your 30s?"

Yes.

"YOU'RE OLD ENOUGH TO BE A MINECRAFT YOUTUBER?!?"

I don't know what this means, but my knees hurt.

A Cybertruck could never.

The way Willem Dafoe chews up every scene he's in brings me immense joy.

Him, Christopher Walken, Tim Curry, I'm a sucker for their style of acting.

There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧵

The Bob Dylan movie starting with Pete Seeger at Woodie Guthrie's death bed kind of feels like starting the Avengers movies by watching Infinity war.

Anyone could have told you they were planning to feed all of those emails to AI. What else were they going to do? Read the millions of emails they demanded? I don't think anyone believed the DOGE twerps were going to do that. People need to be cognizant of the AI end game for this whole project.
