The thing about trump confusing greenland and iceland is that now he's going to claim that they also had a secret plan for taking over iceland all along, which he can now reveal because in his infinite magnanimity & benevolence he's decided not to invade so it doesn't matter

He said he needed greenland for psychological reasons, no one gave it to him, and now he's dead. I hope you're all proud of yourselves

I think we’ve got better and more culturally-varied street food than I could have imagined, cool jackets galore, and drugs that make us think we’re really fast and strong before they kill us.
we're getting all the downsides of cyberpunk (social alienation, ruthless hyper capitalism, digital mass surveillance state) but none of the promised upsides (cheap street food, cool jackets, super drugs that make you really fast and strong before they kill you)

Great feedback, team. Keep it up.
Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino said well-organized protesters in Minnseota make the ICE operation harder.
"They've got some excellent communications," Bovino said.

Fascinated how basically in every country now rightwingers complain about "woke," using the english word or similar (e.g. "le wokisme"). When you think about it as a specifically anti-African American reactionary movement, you could say facebook's big accomplishment is globalizing the confederacy
It’s really hard to overstate the extent to which conservatives are now just the same type of facebook ogre in every single country with few or no other defining affiliations

Once again everything tricia mclaughlin said (that he lived with sex offenders, that he refused to show ID) was a complete lie, and when called out on it, DHS just goes dark. Ridiculous to print anything she says without an enormous disclaimer up front

Rep. Keith Self on anti-ICE protesters who disrupted a church service in the Twin Cities: "I compare them to Hamas who live-streamed the attack in Israel that killed hundreds of people. They want to instill terror."

On one of our first dates my college girlfriend and I stayed up all night putting cds in her old ps1 to spawn monsters in monster rancher 2, then training one ape through its entire life cycle (RIP sweet gradonkus). We are now married (she and I, not me and gradonkus)
Gonna call 'skill issue' on anyone using this - getting an actual Human Female to sit through parts of Witcher III is easy mode.
My college girlfriend sat and chatted with me through multi-hour long EVE Online freighter escort operations (we are now married).

A pastor is the acting director of an ICE field office?
CONFIRMED:
Earlier today Don Lemon reported a protest at Cities Church in St. Paul, MN where they said pastor David Easterwood is Acting Director of the ICE Field Office.
They were 100% right.

It strikes me that being an american madman president works on the world stage for a while because the US has unequaled economic, diplomatic, and military legitimacy, but these can be thought of as accounts that trump is making withdrawal after withdrawal from. Sooner or later you overdraft

I was the senior advisor to 8 generals, an admiral, a couple of senior executives, and a brigade combat team commander (colonel) in Operation Iraqi Freedom. This is NOT how they behave! Or, rather, not how the good ones behave.

That or they'll say he's "breaking with tradition" when it's like, in the constitution
Every time Trump breaks the clear letter of the law, the NYT and WaPo write a story about how he’s “pushing boundaries” or “testing the limits of his authority”
He's not Chuck Yeager, guys. He's a crook.

And rather than try to drive a wedge between sympathetic citizens and immigrants, they're systematically brutalizing citizens and publicly celebrating that brutality while smearing them as criminals. There's zero plan, they're just seeing how much pain they can inflict
Yes. My theory of the moment is Miller/Vance thought their view that immigrants threaten social solidarity would be widely shared. But ICE raids are driving native-born Americans to show solidarity with immigrants quite courageously. Now Miller is trying to disrupt that alliance with state violence.
Insightful point here: Even if you take Trump seriously - he does not like the optics - they rested on an assumption that communities would welcome ICE as heroes, rather than showing the type of solidarity that Trump inherently cannot understand.

To those who are claiming that it'd be too cruel and extreme for the EU to cut off American tourist visas now (or to otherwise sanction or inconvenience us Americans in any way)....
You're REALLY not gonna like what happens if the madman Trump is permitted to set off a hot war with Europe.
