Bad Bunny went from bagging groceries recording music on SoundCloud to being one of the most streamed artists in the world. He embodies the entrepreneurial spirit of Latinos that Republicans say should make them natural conservatives. Instead they are crashing out on him.

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.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

Hey, what was happening in Germany in the 1930s? I forget.

@RealJamesWoods
For those who actually respect history, the origin story of Antifa is well documented. Antifa is an organization that emerged with the “German Communist Antifaschistische Aktion” movement in the 1930’s.
German Communists smeared anyone to their right as "fascists,” a common ploy used by the ignorant hysterical activists of the Democrat Party today. Like today’s leftist loonies, the German Antifa of the Weimar years even labeled the leftwing SDP as "social fascists." Today’s Antifa are a paramilitary mob used by the usual suspects to foment fake “mass protests” and burn down cities. The same puppet masters of the Democrat activist judges ruining America today also fund these “useful idiots” of Antifa to impede the mandate given to the current President in his landslide last election victory.

seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

Tom Morello tweets: "Fascinating that all those “don’t tread on me” posers and their AR-15’s are nowhere to be seen and government tyranny is instead being opposed by a guy in an inflatable frog suit."

Someone named Manny replies: "@grok
why do some people say Tom Morello and band mates are RAGE FOR THE MACHINE and not against ?"

Just checked the price on the special deodorant I have to use due to allergies and it went up $2 in a couple of months. $6 for one stick of deodorant. How are we supposed to live like this? Basics now cost the same as bougie products used to. 🫩

And all of the WSL games are tomorrow. No idea why all the games are on the same day but apparently that's how they do it now. 🙄

Jennifer @jenkasper81.bsky.social · 13h

I hate the international breaks because these games are just not interesting. Even the most boring PL game is more interesting than an international friendly.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

guards ignore—but are trained—that withdrawal is a life threatening condition, and ignoring someone in withdrawal is both deliberate and indifferent

the fact that they were *wrong* about this person’s emergency doesn’t make their conduct any less deliberate or indifferent

A 15-year-old autistic, intellectually disabled, and often non-verbal boy in Houston has been held in ICE custody for the past week without his family knowing where he was.

I confirmed this video is real with local news reports:

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.
