So it’s worse than we thought
ICE’s Detention Center outside Chicago was sued on October 30 for allegedly abusing detainees. One day later, a "system crash" lost all video footage that could have shown how detainees were being treated. trib.al/QwT3aqI

I don’t ever want to hear any Republican anywhere ever complain about someone instigating political violence against them ever again. They are a political violence party. They just object to splashback onto themselves of the environment of political violence they’ve created.
Important: House Dem leaders just said Trump's call for execution of Dems has prompted them to contact US Capitol Police and House Sergeant at Arms to "ensure the safety of these members and their families."
Treat Trump like an unhinged menace. He's weak and in deep political trouble. Don't let up.

Honestly cannot stress how much Napoleon, my ex-feral, loves kebab. The dirtier and spicier the better.
I figure a kebab shop somewhere used to feed him.

If you say "Trump is a threat to democracy" and vote like this, you simply don't believe what you say.
The idea that swing state Dems would "need" to vote for this is also laughable. No one in your district is kept up at night by the idea that a crooked cop in DC won't get hired back.

These 20 House Democrats just joined Republicans in voting to fully repeal DC's police reform laws.
Wiping off the books critical laws on use of force, transparency, and preventing violent cops from getting rehired.
They think that they should have more say over DC police than the people of DC.

Elon channels his inner disruptor, calling audibles with neuralink precision and launching deep balls like Falcon 9 rockets. The Chiefs mount an unprecedented comeback, tying it late before winning in OT on a game-winning scramble. Eagles 34, Chiefs 38—because quitting isn't in the mission statement.

literally nobody else in the entire retro computing community I've seen so far has done this, and this is a VERY conservative group. fuck John Carmack.
I just learned that John Carmack misgendered and deadnamed Rebecca Heineman in his "tribute" over on Twitter. He probably thinks it's okay when talking pre-transition days, but FYI, most trans people hate that. Worse, he never calls her "she," switching to "they" for recent memories. Fuck that guy.

You’ll see a lot of lost cause shit after Trump goes away. “Well you know that wasn’t all bad” yes it was
i have noticed that trumpers have shut the fuck up for the most part, just like these same people did when bush's approval went to the 20s. it was awesome, because you knew they didn't really believe he was wrong and were so mad all the mud-brained moderates turned on them
I don’t know if this reflects what others have seen in rural areas, but it has been a noticeable glimmer to me the last couple of times I was really out in the sticks.
