Arrests calmly ongoing.

This is going to take a while. There are a lot of clergy risking arrest.

This must be weird news to see if you’re one of the literally hundreds or even thousands of university administrators who preemptively censored faculty, scrubbed websites, changed the names of centers, etc.

the running theme of Trump 2.0:
The elites and institutions have folded but regular people haven’t
I know people keep saying this but it’s hard to communicate the depth of active resistance here. Like, I’m on random cafes and people are checking in for observation shifts. Signs everywhere. Folks in visibility vests on the corners. It’s wild. Absolutely wild.

The House Ethics Committee found that Matt Gaetz did all of the horrible things previously claimed—sex trafficking minors, prostitution (including of minors), drugs, drunk driving, obstruction, the works. The Florida Bulldog has secured and published the House report this evening.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Remember what I said about how when Trump falters, the media inserts a fake, imaginary version of Trump into the news instead?
Right on cue, here are the push alerts from the 3 major newspapers lmao

How to fuck 9 years of culture building in 1 easy step:
Brandon Beane says that Buffalo Bills players found out about Sean McDermott's firing through the media, as opposed to a team meeting, as players had already left. Locker room cleanout was Sunday, and news broke Monday morning.

100%, and also I’ll go on the record that the average WNY pizza-and-wings spot has better wings than your favorite wing place in <place>.

I love you Baltimore but I have lived here for 5 years now and have yet to find a good wing spot (please tell me where good wings are I am desperate)
18. (niche/regional): Arguing about who has the best wings in Western NY is incredibly stupid. Virtually every spot--from pizza joints to pubs to sit down restaurants--offers wings that are within a comparable range with a high floor. They HAVE to, or they wouldn't exist

I just got notifications that 3 people blocked me in the middle of this thread. I am just doing this in good fun, I figured "arguing" about food is about as harmless as it gets, and I make a point to keep things super positive around here! I am just doing this for silly change of pace!

“I do not understand what you are doing on Greenland.”

New from 404 Media: ICE's facial recognition app, which the agency is using to decide who to detain and deport, misidentified a woman. Twice.

ICE says results of the app are definitive and override a birth certificate; obviously this case shows the app is inaccurate

if they want to behave like Russian oligarchs they should be treated like them and Trump’s family is significantly more vulnerable to European sanctions than Putin ever was

do I think any of this is likely? no, but Trump only responds to being punched in the mouth, so they should try
Yep, much akin to how the US used to run targeted sanctions against Russian oligarchs and government officials, before it became whatever the hell this is.

Unlike most heads of state sanctions, Trump actually operates businesses overseas! Scotland could shut down his crown jewel golf course!

they’re going to need to impose consequences that are felt in a personal way by the people in charge

ruining Trump’s big sports show, travel bans for the GOP (or, hell, all of congress), travel bans for rich Trump allies, sanctions on the Trump family

they feel invincible, change their minds
Honestly boycotting the World Cup would be the most effective and probably the least disruptive of all of the options available to Europe. I’m not sure how you can send teams and fans to contribute to a spectacle designed entirely to celebrate a guy trying to invade your territory.
