RAJU: You'll concede this is war?
MARKWAYNE MULLIN: We haven't declared war. They declared war on us
RAJU: The president called it war and Secretary Hegseth called it war
REPORTER: When you walked up just now, you called it war
MULLIN: Okay. That was a misspoke.

world-altering decisions are being made by a cabal of gambling addicts hell bent on self enrichment no matter the cost to humanity, we should look into that.
If America still had the rule of law, this would be the easiest prosecution ever, but we all know absolutely nothing will happen.

CHRIST this was a bitch to alt text (my phone camera is allergic to this font) but it was worth it so we could enjoy this scorching hot Catholic tea together
they just flat out said the SCOTUS Catholics are going to hell. which we knew, but maybe they’ll hear it from the bishops!
This is truly some of the meanest shit I’ve ever heard of and I firmly believe the intended this to end with his death
The Rohingya have already survived one genocide, one driven by lies spread on Facebook. The horror show is now continuing here.
They can’t even legally drive to the DMV to get the license that will misgender them by law because the statute invalidating their licenses went into immediate effect.
Photo of my secondhand copy of Sherwood Schwartz’s book INSIDE GILLIGAN’S ISLAND: FROM CREATION TO SYNDICATION
Photo of a bookplate pasted inside the front cover of my secondhand copy of INSIDE GILLIGAN’S ISLAND… “FROM THE LIBRARY OF ROSS A. BURMAN ROSS DIED OF AIDS ON JANUARY 15, 1999 AT THE AGE OF 41. ROSS WAS A GREAT GUY WITH AN AVID INTEREST IN THE ARTS, HOLLYWOOD, FASHION AND COSTUME, AS WELL AS THE KOOKY, STRANGE, DARK AND CAMP NATURE OF PEOPLE. HE REGALED HIS FRIENDS WITH FASCINATING FACTS AND IT IS THE HOPE THAT THROUGH THE DONATION OF THESE BOOKS, THIS KNOWLEDGE CAN BE PASSED ON FOR MANY OTHERS TO ENJOY.
All secondhand books have histories. Sometimes you find out their stories, and those stories can bring even the most innocuous book an incredible emotional weight.
It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school.
They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.
Israel is responsible for two in three journalist killings across the globe in 2024 and 2025. The Israeli military has committed more targeted killings of journalists than any other government’s military since CPJ began documentation in 1992.

So sad to be missing #triviaweekend this year because I've finally managed to get hit by Covid 😭 Will be participating a bit from home but it's just not the sammmmmme! Have fun, everyone!
Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.
Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.
Worth watching this in full. The statement is more powerful than this quote alone. Here is is from USA Today, with alt text.
Also! Rich Ruohonen is a personal injury lawyer and the oldest athlete to ever represent the United States in a Winter Games at 54 years old.
Just in the past few months in Minnesota, there have been as many ICE employees arrested for sex trafficking as there's been people executed by ICE agents
Do you happen to remember how much it cost to have your titers checked? I called my insurance to ask when things were picking up last year and they were very wishy washy about whether they would cover it - trying to decide if I should risk paying out of pocket!
it’s been fuck frey, but seriously, FUCK jacob frey.

As news coverage ebbs but reports from the streets indicate Operation Metro Surge is still surging, I’m surprised there’s not some kind of official report/press conference every day, like we used to get during Covid. Just the best update they have on what happened today? I think I am being naive.
I arrived too late to an abduction yesterday. Ice vehicles boxed in a food delivery driver on the highway. They took him, and when I came on the scene (with a few other neighbors in cars), his keys were still in it. We found his phone, a debit card, his car title and registration.
this excellent thread is imo the type of thing everyone whose name is in the files should be doing
A reminder to the haters it takes this many states to outnumber the American citizens in Puerto Rico
(~3.5m v. ~3.2m)
Absolutely insane that there is a Republican Senator who committed the largest Medicare fraud in American history and they still can do this without media batting an eyelash.
The Government makes the point that some of the attorneys currently are under extraordinary strain, and you are obviously telling that to this Court understanding that the operation that explains this process is not an operation that is driven by the Federal Courts. I do accept that Operation Metro Surge has generated a volume of arrests and detentions that has taxed existing systems, staffing, and coordination between DOJ and the DHS. I read that in your papers. I understand that. I also don't have any reason to take issue at this
time that individual attorneys, including those appearing here, are working in good faith and under difficult circumstances. But those facts, even taken as true, do not answer the legal problem that it presents for this Court. If the Government undertakes an enforcement operation of this scale, one that results in the detention of large numbers of people, including individuals who are lawfully present in the United States, then the Government assumes a corresponding obligation to ensure that each detention complies with the Constitution and with court orders governing release. Volume, that is, the volume of cases and matters, is not a justification for diluting constitutional rights and it never can be. It heightens the need for care
Having what you feel are too many detainees, too many cases, too many deadlines, and not enough infrastructure to keep up with it all, is not a defense to continued detention. If anything, it ought to be a warning sign. But what you cannot do is to detain first and then sort out lawful authority later. Continued detention is not lawful just because compliance with release orders is administratively difficult or because an operation has expanded beyond the Government's capacity to execute it lawfully.
detailed release requirements are the source of the problem. In many instances, I have had to not just issue an order, but another order, another order, another order, about 7 or 8 different touches sent to the Government simply asking for the date, time, and location of the release of someone who was ordered released, in many instances, a week or more in the past. And why that is so difficult, I cannot understand, because there's obviously a person associated with the Government who is going to the detainee to release him or her. You have their name. You can carry with you a form. The name is on it. Just write the time on it and send it to the DOJ. That cannot be a reason, a source for this problem of the noncompliance because that's too easy to fix, and I don't even work for the Executive Branch. But the requirements that the Court has in place exist because individuals were being detained without lawful authority, they were being transferred contrary to orders, or released in ways that undermine the relief that was granted by the Court.
Judge Blackwell continues:
"Having what you feel are too many detainees, too
many cases, too many deadlines, and not enough
infrastructure to keep up with it all, is not a defense to
continued detention. If anything, it ought to be a warning
sign."
This needs to be at the top of every story about the ICE body-cam thing. They already have body cameras.

Three rules in FBI firearm training:
1. Always point your weapon downrange
2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot
Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like
