Hey! Here's an idea for the morons running ICE: How about NOT accosting people in cars? It would seem that every time someone drives away from masked goons, ICE claims the intended victim's car has been "weaponized." Simple solution: Leave them alone.
You're welcome, ICE. I hope this helps.

The United States Congress needs to rein this stinky, cringey, greedy, criming, maniacal killer clown, wanna-be king, in before he starts WWIII.
Congress needs to do their fûkkin' jobs NOW before more lives are destroyed or lost.

Black folk will tell you: The 1st thing cops say after an incident is always a lie.🤷🏿♂️
They lie because there's upside in it for them, and no downside.
No matter how many times they get caught lying, newspapers will print their next lie as the gospel truth.🤡
And people stop caring before truth hits

ICE lied about the person it shot, claiming he was a "criminal," but NBC finds that he had no criminal history whatsoever. Not even traffic tickets in 12 years! It also lied about the extent of the injuries to its agents....

Masked ICE agents, it seems, are now killing American citizens on American streets.
Any Democrat who doesn’t support abolishing ICE should be instantly primaried and run out of the party.
This is non negotiable. You cannot support the continued existence of this fascist murderous secret police.

With ICE's killing of a woman in Minneapolis today, and the subsequent demand that ICE leave the city, I'm asking a serious question: Could Minnesota call in its National Guard to "evict" ICE?

So Trump told the press he was going to invade Venezuela, and he told the oil companies he was going to invade Venezuela, but he never bothered to ask CONGRESS if he COULD invade Venezuela.
And congressional Republicans are just like… “meh”.
Are you fucking kidding me?!!

Our national asshole said "The country’s gone to hell. It’s a failed country. It’s a totally failed country. It’s a country that’s a disaster in every way.”
He was speaking of the country on which he has made war, but he's merely projecting again and describing what he's done to We the People.

Mature ♂ and ♀ dwarf cobweb weavers, Microdipoena guttata. The smaller ♂ (on the penny) is 0.71mm.The ♀ is 0.9mm. (Remember, spider sizes do not include legs, spinnerets, or chelicerae). Suffice it to say they're not dangerous...unless, of course, you're a mite, a young springtail, etc.

While he's busy naming things, it would be entirely appropriate to rename the DOJ. Howzabout one of these:
Trump Demolition of Justice
Trump Destruction of Justice
Trump Dissolution of Justice
Or, forgetting about the acronym:*
Trump Weapon of "Justice"
Trump Meting of "Justice"

We have a new BJ's opening ca. 3 miles from us, and offering very low, promotional "membership" cost. Checked their DEI response and said "nope, we'll still drive the 20 miles to Costco."

I don't get the Hegseth-investigating Kelly thing. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but Hegseth was in the service, and swore to be bound by the very same constraints and obligations as Kelly. Has he forgotten, or is he disavowing his own responsibilities? Either way, he should be fired...immediately

Wow. If I understand correctly, the Feckless Felon released an AI-generated video of his flying a F-18-like fighter jet to dump fecal material in prodigious quantities on US cities and their citizens.
Evidently, he is quite proud to display his super-human capacity to be full of shit!
