More photos of politicians with pained looks on their faces as they're doing something egregious.
I remember seeing an ad for the Exocet in Jane's Defence Weekly in the 80s happily touting that it's the only anti ship guided missle actually proven in combat, after the Sheffield was hit in the Falklands war. They didn't seem to care that it was a British ship sunk, as long as the missile worked.
Ducks is a masterpiece.
Kids here who play soccer on competitive travel teams also play on rec teams for "practice." Rec leagues have a lot of kids who should only be in competitive leagues. They dominate the games and the kids who aren't super athletic and just want to play for fun can either deal with it or quit.
Thrilled to have been interviewed by @msmagazine.com for Jaime Patel's series on "Redfining Power: How Indian-American Women Are Rewriting the Rules of Leadership, Identity, and Care" msmagazine.com/2026/02/17/f...
Let's not give the impression the "rank and file" like what's happening.
I feel for flight crew who have to deal with her and Lewandowski and their soiled sheets. No extra pay for arduous duty would make that worth it.
I think the mood sounds like what everyone would expect.
If the Superbowl hurt his feelings, wait til he watches I Love Lucy.
On 60 Minutes a while back the interviewer asked, "Many people are concerned with robots getting too powerful and taking over." Robot company spokesman chuckles, "Oh that could never happen. Now on to..."
I was yelling at the TV: That's not our fear! It's you misusing them! Not robots. People!
Can locals use NEPA (National Environmental Policy Act) to force environmental impact reviews, refuse water, sewerage and electrical upgrades, etc? Anything to drag it out?
ICE made no attempt to cooperate or coordinate with state and local officials when they started this. They didn't discuss with local officials whether they should do it in the first place because they aren't doing it to make Minnesota a better place.
Plus, there is a lot more than president on that ballot. In my case important school board choices. And people in every state needed to be donating to progressive groups that work in swing states well before the election, or phone/text banking, anything but just sitting there like you're a spectator
I like to think the military would be extremely half-hearted about helping to supress or disrupt elections.
Nothing in that response makes sense. Vision Zero doesn't seem to mean much to them. "This design hasn't killed anyone yet" is not a strategy I would be proud of.
Nice job of getting right to the point and stating clearly what is happening. Yes, the purpose of the enormous paramilitary and surveillance force Trump is creating is to crush dissent.
It's pathetic that he didn't jump right in with an answer. His job is to speak truth to power.
Yes, because white means something very specific to them. I'm reminded of reading that a hundred years ago, Scandanavians were considered unable to assimilate by some of the WASP power structure. The men good only for labor and the women for domestic work. Strange food, language, and religion.
He is openly angry that a person from Puerto Rico is performing. Where does this hatred come from?
The ICE agents in Italy are completely different from the immigration enforcement agents attacking cities in the US. They do counterterrorism, financial crime, antiquities, human trafficking, etc. Completely different group of people. They should not have been put under the same parent organization
This is exactly why HSI has tried to distance and separate themselves from ERO. They are not the same thing.
"Somebody's going to write that children's story about Minnesota."
Walz is right.
We don't yet have large sustained long term protests like Orange and Velvet Revolutions, but there are many smaller protests, some long term. No Kings protests were giant, but yes, one day at a time isn't enough. Still, I've marched in large groups more times than I can remember in the past year.
Old enough to join the Army and tote iron, but not old enough to buy a pair of sneakers at Dick's.
And kids are less welcome in what should be friendly "third places." Many areas don't have downtowns, just shopping malls, and being private places, many malls or stores ban people under 18 during certain hours (or always) if they aren't "chaperoned."
Plus, Chicago and DC got violent crime down to 50 and 30 year lows before Trump took office and cut funding to programs that were helping.
Fox News says “There's a weird kind of smugness... in the way that some of these liberal white women interact with authority”
Wow, talk about smug.
Which is why I love how this woman relentlessly mocks this guy. (And I know he is not an authority, but RAV is favored by Trump.)
It's embarrassing that anyone created that, either sincerely believing it's the best way to describe their product, or dispassionately thinking our culture is such that it will encourage people to buy that cereal.
I don't believe the officer thought he was going to stop the SUV with his gun. He might argue that in the moment he was trying to stop a threat, and it might work legally. But it's not self defense if it's not expected to stop the SUV, it's just an execution.
One of the best things about my week in London ten years ago was the beer. The food also, and the people.
