It's truly a messed up situation and it's gonna suck for a while longer. The whole immigration system is a tire fire and has been that way for years, each session of Congress has complained about it but won't pass anything to fix it. That's how you get things like DACA rather than a permanent fix.

next couple of years because of the reconciliation bill last year. Dems can do claw backs if they get the majority, but that runs into presidential veto issues but that's a then problem, not a now one. There just isn't a way to abolish ICE now, so saying it doesn't mean it can happen.

So the basic premise of this post by the Senator, that Democrats don't have the ability to defund or abolish ICE. First, Dems don't have the numbers to pass a straight bill to abolish the agency as they are a minority in the Senate. Next, ICE is funded with an insane amount of money for the

Love the smoke alarm dog whistle they had to throw in there, can't forget to be a racist too.

Pretty sure that ICE bozo is one of them who pulled their guns after the first shot and unloaded on him too.

Like, one had a tan beanie and the other had a black face covering in the donut shop video.

The fact that multiple ICE guys draw their guns and basically mag dump the person after they are already prone on the ground is the worst part. I don't know which ICE agent fired first but you can see two firing at least.

The podcast Articles of Interest did a pretty deep dive into military fashion/outdoor gear this past season. Operator chić is so pronounced because outdoor clothing is "in" today and the same companies make both, so they can just make the same fleece in black/beige and charge $100 more.

It fits that they are paying attention to the "OSINT" account that said the Pentagon was under a missile attack a while back.

I am losing my mind that they are using the Bass Pro Pyramid in this meme when the average Tennessee Republican would make David Duke blush when talking about Memphis. These guys are bozos.

Targeting NASCAR races is hilarious when you notice that attendance is super low compared to decades ago. Plus, I don't think a person on their 12th Bud heavy of the afternoon is going to remember an ad very well.

From what I've read about this takeover attempt, it's a worse deal money wise than the Netflix one and I think if the shareholders agree to it, then Netflix makes roughly $3 billion from the contract they signed the other day.

The podcast Decoder Ring covered it recently, the basics are that certain prefixes and suffixes are for certain types of medications, they try to make it somewhat descriptive, but between rules and trademark issues it's a mess. They also throw weird letter combinations to avoid repeating names.

It's trickle-dumb economics. A lot of the worst people around throw their money away chasing the high of 8-4 and missing the playoffs only to fire your coach in year 3. At least everyone gets to use plane tracking websites for fun at least once a year.

If somebody is using Ryan "argues with Grok" Grim, let alone a screenshot of his, as a source, they are not completely on the level.

Write your Congressional representatives, tell people you know, or something along those lines. Just knowing about it is a big issue in our media ecosystem. But, I implore people, don't watch the atrocities if you can't handle them. Support those who are witnessing and documenting them if you can.
