They (republicans, oligarchs, whatever) don’t actually want cheap gas. They want to make more money selling barrels of crude oil.

If this administration actually follows through with their promise to send every American a tariff β€œstimulus” check, I think we should send them back.

But we are literally doing those things.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.

Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

The views relationship and field situation in #drupal for many-to-many tables is a mess. Especially when dealing with entity revisions. I wish I had time to fix.

Rep. Beatty to Bessent after he refuses to answer a question about affordable housing: "No no. We're not gonna to do that with me. You get to hear my wrath that you refuse to answer a question under your authority, and yet you've talked about the value of housing and you're not releasing the funds."

Why is there a model of a fighter jet next to the bust of President Lincoln? And also, this felon doesn’t deserve to have the bust of President Lincoln in his office.

I wish folks would quit reporting that it’s too classified to send to Congress. No it’s not. That is Gabbard’s EXCUSE for obstructing it.

Interesting #drupal discovery: an entity_reference_revisions field can be a base field on a custom entity.

I fear this game will be dead on arrival because of all the negative publicity during the alpha stage a few months ago and because some people are expecting it to be Destiny 3. I hope I am wrong. Looks very cool to me.

These goons that work for ICE have been taught for the last decade or two to hate Democrats. They think of them as β€œothers”. All they see is blue and hate when they interact with citizens in Minnesota. There is no hope for them. Disband, defund, and dismantle ICE.

Trump agrees to fire Noem And reform ICE from top to bottom. Or he resigns.

That’s what would happen in a normal world.

Defund ICE or shut the government down. This is the moderate position.

In a normal world, a US presidency could not survive what I just saw happen in Minnesota today.

And making their friends extremely wealthy in the process. Probably themselves too.

Philadelphia showed up on MLK Jr. Day.
From the Immigration Court at 9th & Market to ICE’s field office, the city marched in defiance: against ICE raids, against state violence, against the killing of Renee Good in Minneapolis.
Dr. King taught us: justice requires action. Philly answered.

Don’t ask Trump if he thinks the Qatari bank account is legal. Ask him why he needs the Qatari bank account.

Don’t believe the bullshit. Tron: Ares is great. If you liked The original or Legacy, you will like Ares.
