Being trans is inherently a rebellion, transitioning is seizing your freedom.

This is like denying the sexual assault and revenge killings of the red army in eastern Germany.

Like yeah. The soviets and allies were the good guys and the Nazis were the bad guys

But like... War. Awful things happen on all sides because humans are human and flawed.

MYTH: ICE agents lack proper training.

FACT: Most have been racists their entire lives.

fun fact but you can extend the statute of limitations for crimes already committed if the statute hasn't ran out yet.

William B. Fuckley @opinionhaver.bsky.social · 9h

Yeah I think people here have unrealistic expectations for like jailing all ICE agents and that’s just almost certainly not going to happen even in extremely cool zone scenarios. But they should 100% have to lie for the rest of their lives about their employment history in conversation with everyone

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

If the end of windows 10 is making you switch to Linux, good news: recompiling the kernel can now be done *without* blood sacrifice. They patched that out like a decade ago. No blood sacrifice needed.

You will merely have to give up a cherished memory, though.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him

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.”

no one sympathizes with how much psychic pain the administration is causing me, specifically, as a lawyer. i was trained for decades to believe facts were something you could engage in a process of finding, and that rights were more or less established at a bare minimum level. think of the lawyers!!

That's what this is, the effect the proliferation of "anti-woke" youtube grifters have had on their audiences as a whole, stunting their ability to engage with media and training them to look for "DEI sins" to call out, atrophying their ability to enjoy the games they're playing.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

I just watched the video of the Portland Cop threatening to arrest an ICE agent if they drive their truck through a crowd. Now I see this where the General of the Oregon National Guard says if they get called up they will protect the protesters. People are fed up.

Oregon general’s testimony that National Guard troops ‘will be protecting any protesters’ gains traction online

Brigadier General Alan R. Gronewold made the comments to state lawmakers Sept. 30, and they drew notice on social media this week.
