The real massacres that will result from these firings are yet to come, but they will come—and they may well maim and kill people in your family. They will certainly kill poor people elsewhere, adding to the already-massive international death toll amassed by the Trump regime.

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us.

Wow this is a bleak day for national media

Oh my god.

Still thinking about this by the way paragraph in the Sun Times piece on the apartment building raid. Full story: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Surreal moment for America. Needless to say, if the normal police ever pulled something like this — pulling every single person out of an apartment building and handcuffing them to run warrant checks — they would be sued into oblivion.
