MYTH: ICE agents lack proper training.

FACT: Most have been racists their entire lives.

Yeah this is extremely flimsy. I don’t see how the military’s regularly scheduled semi-monthly paycheck can be considered “unforeseen.”

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

Look of course I want to get paid, but I also just really think that No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time.

Content of the speech notwithstanding, this sort of thing is pretty standard fare within DOD.

But frankly, everyone should watch it. It is, after all, good for service members to hear the priorities of SECDEF.

I still have a free WaPo subscription by virtue of having a .mil email address, but I might just go ahead and cancel it anyway for the opportunity to fill out a comment block.

I don’t understand this Patrick. You allow for the possibility that SCOTUS may become illegitimate, but maintain that they are not now because of precedents. There will always be precedents, no? Honest question, as someone who’s followed and agreed with you for a long time since the other place.

I find it’s easy to hold both until I consider that the second part may be mostly superficial and/or performative, and then I don’t sleep.

An excerpt from the piece:

By now, many of us are familiar with the former Fox News commentator's ripped arms and chest, as well as the galaxies of tattoos covering his upper body. Online photos of his manliness are nearly unavoidable.

Among other things, this is an odd directive to give the “US Military”

Truth Social post from President Trump:

To ICE, Border Patrol, Law Enforcement, and all U.S. Military: As per my August 25, 2025 Executive Order, please be advised that, from this point forward, anybody burning the American Flag will be subject to one year in prison. You will be immediately arrested. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Breaking news: ICE stops family at gunpoint—smash car window on top of newborn baby.

"I was screaming that there was a baby. But they didn’t care," cried mother.

“I covered my baby with my body—I was so scared he was going to be hurt because glass was landing on him."

She doesn’t even sound like she believes her own bullshit at this point.

I mean none of them do, sure, except Trump himself and maybe Hegseth. But she’s just so obviously dead inside here. Marking time in gratuitous fashion until the anticipated annihilation.

“The NFL sucks and we’ll win and God will bless us and we’ll stand and be proud of ourselves at the end of the day and they won’t be able to sleep at night because they don’t know what they believe…”

It’s been variously observed a million times, but why would anyone assume a guy dressed in a Gap Kids outfit is a law enforcement agent?

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

Well it’s October so I guess it’s ghoul season:

If you’re not a citizen, US hospitals should simply let you die.

If you ARE a US citizen, and you have a less than favorable ER experience, it’s an immigrants fault.

One can look around an ER and “notice” who is an illegal alien.

Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"
