Anyone who finds my views polarizing should realize that my charge is neutral, so it's probably on you.
On the one hand, this is truth. On the other hand, how did y'all discover a song that came out when I was eight years old?
if you listened to Blue Monday by New Order as a child how are things going now after you transitioned into a beautiful woman

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.
Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed.

Getting blocked by this asshole for asking him why he was posting weird shit is how my day started, so at this point I'm literally willing to pick fights with anyone trying to hide their antisemitism behind anti-zionist rhetoric.

So, the guy blocked me for asking about a shady post. I'm guessing this is because earlier he made a post (now deleted) that is straight up Protocols of the Elders of Zion shit.

Military bases have well-supplied commissaries because if something goes wrong in the area the base will have independent supply lines established. It has always been (at least domestically) a form of redundancy, but given that other logistical systems are also at risk, this seems... unwise.
Someday, we're gonna find out that the decisionmaking went like this:
Mamdani proposes city-run grocery stores. Conservatives say it'll never work. Mamdani supporters point out that DOD runs a bunch of grocery stores. Hegseth decides to close them to own the libs.

Surreal moment for America. Needless to say, if the normal police ever pulled something like this — pulling every single person out of an apartment building and handcuffing them to run warrant checks — they would be sued into oblivion.
Yet ICE is going to get away with it entirely.

Cornell is cancelling a distinguished professor's classes on Gaza and suspending him because of the complaints of a student who previously served in Israel's military surveillance agency and was literally recording the comments of other students in class and deliberately derailing discussion.

Five years ago, @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social and I did a story about rural Oregon's fever dream that Antifa was coming to their town from Portland.
Hundreds showed up armed downtown because they heard on Facebook that "Antifa buses" were coming.
No buses came so they said Antifa "retreated."
