“Inconceivable”
Just heard re: some ICE agents who raided a Chicago taqueria, then went back to the same taqueria for lunch the following week and got confused when the owner kicked them out, and I realized "jesus these doofuses really do believe we're all living in a video game where the NPCs have no memory"

They all have to go.
This is why Hakeem and Gillibrand and the party line Dems and consultants hate Zohran. They say they want a "Joe Rogan of the left" and it's clear that the Dems do not need that at all. Zohran fucks up the whole grift game.

He's pulling back the curtain and they're scared shitless.

Yeah. This is fine.
Totally fine.
NEW: The DHS has issued a heightened terror threat for Americans. Good thing we have that 22 year old former gardener in charge of counterterrorism and DHS is busy with mass deportation. www.dhs.gov/ntas/advisor...

Just *the* most efficient rapid disassembly **ever**! Goals am I right?!
So Starship Ship 36 just detonated *before* the static fire test - fueled and waiting for the test. Looks like the top tank lets go and sets off the whole stack. It would be bad enough if it let go during the static fire test, but it just blew up. And it's cooking off the fuel tanks on the pad.

Oooo da lolly, golly what a day.
1. Trump's tax cuts overwhelmingly help the rich
2. His spending cuts are targeted at the poor
3. Tariffs cost the poor a larger share of their income

Roll these three regressive policies together and you get the largest redistribution from poor to rich in American history.

The anti-Robin Hood.

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

The bad apples metaphor originated as a warning of the corrupting influence of one corrupt or sinful person on a group: that "one bad apple can spoil the barrel".

Ice = Gestapo
Ice =SS
Ice = Secret Police
Ice is the spear tip. We are all on the menu.
ICE waited until a woman’s lawyer went to the restroom then dragged her away. She fainted from stress and they dragged her unconscious body into the elevator, refusing medical attention.

Totally unclear on how this is still shocking news to anyone. Literally our entire civil and criminal code is designed to extract greater punishment (for profit) from low income people, and simultaneously cost less (if anything), for the ruling classes. This is who we are and this is how we do it.
If you drive drunk and your negligence kills someone, you will likely be sentenced to years in prison.

If you are a Boeing executive and your negligence kills 346 people, you likely will not receive any punishment at all.

In America, we don't treat white collar crimes as crimes.
How to kill 346 people and get away with it
On October 29, 2018, a Boeing 737 MAX operated by Lion Air crashed into the Java Sea about 13 minutes after taking off from an airport in Jakarta, Indonesia.

Remember that these are active policy choices.
It’s not a lack of housing.
It’s not a lack of qualified carers.
It’s simply more profitable to keep veterans untreated, unhoused, and uncared for.
Reminder: the Pentagon budget now tops $1 TRILLION per year while veterans sleep on the streets and VA funding is being cut.
