People here are outside patrolling their neighborhoods in this, trying to keep their neighbors safe from lawless armed masked goons. Armed with whistles and vests, they are essentially fighting a war against their own government and its ethnic cleansing campaign.

Establishment Dems responding to the threatened annexation of Greenland by messaging about cost of living issues really don’t understand that to Europeans it looks like they either don’t see this as a crisis or are tacitly in favor of it. 1/x

I’m disappointed the Bears couldn’t pull this one off but really anything after that win over the Packers to clinch a place in the playoffs was gravy & managing to hold off the Rams into OT is still pretty impressive.

This game also clearly showed Caleb is the real deal. Chicago finally has a Dude. He's the truth. As a Rams fan I was scared shitless of him when he had the ball. Not too many QBs I feel that way about.

I would have simply shown a spine and endorsed the Democrat for POTUS.

NEW: This week, Daily Show host Jon Stewart introduced his audience to Jenin Younes, describing her as a courageous civil rights attorney who had been canceled by both the right and left and therefore “must be doing something right.”
Really, she spent years undermining public health—and Democrats.

if you're viewing things through the dumb suicidal great powers frame and you're honest, this is such a huge failure by the US that it alone should be sufficient to turn on this administration
The Canada-China relationship has been distant and uncertain for nearly a decade.
We’re changing that, with a new strategic partnership that benefits the people of both our nations.

They expect - they NEED - the people they threaten to fall in line, like the law firms and universities and media companies and billionaires and Congress did. If you say “No, make me,” they simply do not have a Plan B. TRUMP DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH GUYS TO MAKE YOU.

It was one thing to experience the brutality of ICE and CBP last year in Chicago, but man these stories coming out of Minneapolis are just a whole different level.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

Coordinated a beer drop by a white friend to deliver a 30-rack of Hamm’s to a Hispanic friend’s doorstep because his wife wouldn’t let him leave the house to go buy more beer for fear he’d be brutalized by lawless armed masked federal paramilitaries. This is Minnesota community. We take care of us.

Some people are just ghouls. There must be something they tell themselves to make this sound like an OK thing to do, but I cannot for the life of me imagine what it is.
