Why don't the people of the Twin Cities just stay home and let DHS do as it pleases? Speaking only for himself, Mike Somes explains that he personally does it because he is an idiot who does it because he failed to realize that all that talk about inalienable rights was an elaborate joke all along.
The Last Idiot Who Earnestly Believes in the American Experiment
Still left out of the joke, even now.

There is a venn diagram of "We need to believe that AI can develop a real consciousness," "I now adhere to a truly bizarre health routine" and "I need all the money possible and I need it just for me," and at the center of it is "I am terrified of dying and I don't know how to fix that"

I will never get over how the "Harry Potter Wizarding Schools Map" is literally just Huntington's "Clash of Civilizations" map with very minor alterations.

ICYMI- the clergy ordered to be granted access to ICE detainees came for their scheduled visit AND THE FACILITY WAS EMPTY
The 2 Catholic priests and Sister who entered the Broadview, IL ICE facility, to provide Ash Wednesday services to those inside, have come back out.
They gave brief statements to press before leaving for an Ash Wednesday mass in Melrose Park.

The decline of right wing cultural production is just due to the fact that they don’t like culture, they like the signifiers of culture, ie “classic sculpture means white people are better.” They don’t like art at all except for this purpose. They don’t even like the nerd stuff they whine about

As far as I can tell, we never had a "border crisis" so much as we have a "racist freak out" and that's been going on for at least 60 years.

Some game theory: When a state threatens to increase taxes on billionaires - they should have to annually pay either the tax or a 20x multiple of the amount they spend lobbying against it.

Dry-brushing gets a bad rap. It can do a lot for a mini, fast. But has a kind of barrier where if you go that path, its harder to push it into a higher end clean and polished.
But if 'good enough' not 'showcase' is your aim its definitely worth exploring it if you have not.

The biggest problem with popularism is the failure to acknowledge that tailoring policy and messaging to what gets you the most electoral bang for the buck tends to pander to right-leaning swing voters and donors, which is not coincidentally where most boosters of popularism are ideologically.

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

It's an open question whether Trump will kill more people by:
A) Canceling aid to starving people overseas
B) Undermining vaccines to invite a resurgence of previously conquered diseases
C) Destroying efforts to address climate change
Add them together and it's obvious Trump is a mass murderer.

They literally dragged a minor employee out of a Target as he was wailing that he was a US citizen, roughed him up in their car, and then dropped him off bloodied and bruised in the freezing cold a couple of miles away, so miss us with this.

People can have different political opinions about immigration policy. Political differences are fine, healthy for a democracy.
But if you’re okay with this, that’s not a political opinion. That is a moral failing.
