Hey, I want to offer some helpful tips for coping with the cold for ICE folks who might have come from warmer places.

1. Wear cotton socks! Cotton is nice and soft next to your skin and will absorb your sweat so your feet stay warm. Cotton everything but ESPECIALLY socks!
Good morning to fuckers in our neighborhood kidnapping our neighbors! Can you see the city skyline? No? You’re wondering if Minneapolis burned down again overnight? Oh no, sweetie. That’s ice crystals in the air . It looks like it will get to around -8F without windchill! Please enjoy your stay!

#BREAKING: Over dissents from the three democratic appointees, #SCOTUS puts Texas's new House maps back into effect for (and, presumably, through) the 2026 midterms.

The three Democratic appointees, in an opinion by Justice Kagan, dissent.

I'll post the ruling shortly.

why should he show any respect for a bunch of thirsty simps?
Putin did not show any respect to the U.S. - U.S. delegation had to wait for three hours for Putin and then he rejected the U.S. peace plan.

This kind of thing makes sense to people who’ve been marinating in the logic of Stand Your Ground laws and police shootings where it’s justified to kill someone you merely *perceive* as a threat, regardless of whether they are in fact.
Markwayne Mullin defends Hegseth: "If there was a second strike, it wouldn't be to just simply take out the survivors. It's because there was still a threat or opportunity for them to run."

Every prompt to chatbot software is “generate me some text.” If it generated you some text, it performed its function correctly. It never lies, it never wants anything, it’s text generating software that generates text.
Not wanting to disappoint you so much that it lies is the last quality I want in a computer.

Brazilian President Lulu should call the US Ambassador to the carpet for this
Pretty convincing evidence here that the Trump administration was planning to jailbreak and provide asylum for Bolsonaro -- and that Trump inadvertently revealed the plan.

And this, as the now-cliche goes, would have been a paralyzing scandal for any other administration.
Trump appears to blurt out secret plan, not knowing it's already a bust

➡️ Invade Venezuela

➡️ give American oil companies their oil (kickbacks)

➡️ $2 per gallon gas

➡️ ‘re-election’ to 3rd term
Trump lies: "Gasoline will soon be hovering around $2 a gallon"

This is a man who has no background in science or medicine, and his dangerous actions and rhetoric will cause children to die.

WHY is Kushner involved? he’s not a government official. last Inbeard he claimed he was a private citizen therefore it was ok he got billions in investment funds from Saudi Arabia and the butcher MBS🤔
REUTERS: “The situation has sparked worries inside the administration and on Capitol Hill that Witkoff & Kushner skirted the interagency process and the discussions with Dmitriev resulted in a plan that favors Russian interests.” www.reuters.com/world/europe...
