WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to:

* 8 people shot
* 5 of which were U.S. citizens
* 2 died
* no victims drew a weapon

The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire

In a statement, an emotional Grok told me it was "shaken" by the revenge porn it had generated. "It's not epic, and not based," Grok said. "It's neither. Frankly, it's cringe. And gay." An emailed request for comment to X received an auto-reply of a rofl emoji and a custom swastika emoji.

In South Minneapolis, Minnesota, nearly two dozen neighbors confronted and surrounded ICE goons after rapid-response alerts were issued. The goons were questioning an East African man when the situation escalated, and they eventually left the area without making any arrests.

There are a lot of election ads on and Democrats still don’t know how to talk to voters. They’re still using big words and rising number graphics and all that 90s shit. You gotta talk to people like they’re fucking cavemen. HIM AN ASSHOLE. IS HORNY FOR CHILDREN. Shit like that

If there’s something that Winfield understands better than most its angles. And his body control allows him to be so clean with his contact.

Just elite.
What a play from Antoine Winfield Jr.

Eyes on the ball the whole time and uses his head & hands to punch through the WR’s hands. Big time play late during crunch time

I love to show up every day for my job, which is standing around holding the front of my tactical vest and getting told to choke to death by thousands of passers-by while 11 of my coworkers handcuff a roofer on his way to work. Every night I drive 80 minutes home, thinking about nothing at all.

My grandparents and father escaped Nazi Germany in 1941. I’ve thought so much about how the genocide in Gaza and the silence of Holocaust institutions are such a betrayal to my grandparents’ memory.
