I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

The "other" Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper movie, and just as good as Murder by Decree, though in a punchier and more lurid style.
Handsomely mounted meet of detective fiction and grisly slasher fact. Gloriously shot with a sharp script, a cracking cast and shocks to spare. 1965.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

To me, "libertarian" has always meant "Republican, but ashamed of admitting it." As for their so-called philosophy, it's like arguing that traffic lights are an impediment to personal freedom, and then shrugging at the resulting crashes.
this is a subject that's near and dear to my heart
1. no you didn't, you retconning fucks
2. your decades of anti-governance "free market" "government never functions" propaganda paved the way for the complete authoritarian decimation of labor, consumer, environmental protections

I've seen people here posting that legacy media is ignoring this story, but it was the main headline of yesterday's New York Times.
The media is not the problem. 40% of the country being irredeemable racists is the problem.

Trump referring to the first Black President and First Lady in the history of the USA as apes is not a distraction. It is a major news story once again emphasizing how fundamental racism is to this administration and the Republican Party and conservative movement.
And right now media is ignoring.

In other news, I have reason to believe the sky is blue.
Jeffrey Epstein’s brother Mark sent a tip to the FBI accusing Trump of authorizing his murder:
“I have reason to believe he was killed because he was about to name names. I believe Present Trump authorized is murder.“

Just a quick note about Bovino being moved and the other aesthetic politicoplasty the Trump administration is undertaking:
Don't be fooled. Don't get all Susan Collins-y about it. Trump hasn't learned his lesson. He never will.

Amen. The whole apparatus needs to be taken down.
Abolish DHS. If you can imagine a world before Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, you can imagine a world without the Department of Homeland Security. My latest at @startribune.com. (gift link)
Perry: Abolish ICE? How about DHS altogether.
"We have models for how to structure federal immigration oversight that doesn't rely on an unaccountable masked secret police force running rampant in our streets," David M. Perry writes.

For any elected official who needs to hear this, I impart a lesson learned from the NFL:
When the other team is tired and on the back foot, you don’t call a timeout so they can catch their breath. You grind their fucking face into the dirt until the final whistle blows and you’ve won the game.

I highly recommend Girl With Hyacinths. If you watch, be sure to read nothing about it first. People seem compelled to give away its surprises.
The titles of the movies in a the Criterion Channel’s Nordic Noir collection read like a four line poem
Death is a caress

Girl with hyacinths,
