the thing that jumps out across multiple agencies is how they think the *mechanics* of *writing regulations* is the difficult task to be solved and that the content of the regulation is easy. it's almost as wrong as you can possibly be

respect to the many radical furry ice sculptors out there
I'm a resident of the Twin Cities. A small team and I spent 3 days sculpting this for a competition/festival in extremely cold temperatures. We were disqualified for political messaging and one of the organizers defaced it. I have no regrets and I have never been more proud to be Minnesotan. (cont)

it's funny too because the media loved this in trump 1. fire someone and you basically get free good press for whatever dipshit replacement you come up with and they'll even say it makes you look strong and powerful
one of the signs, incidentally, of how aged and subject to manipulation Trump is is that there haven't been any real high-profile firings in the admin yet - literally what he built his TV career on, and a monthly norm of the first admin

This gets better when you know that Mayes was literally a Republican until 2019.
And not just as a private citizen. She held statewide office as a Republican for 7 years.

you DON'T want to see these vicious terrorists try ing to mass murder federal agents get hurt? what the fuck???
Leavitt: "Nobody in the White House, including President Trump, wants to see people getting hurt or killed in America's streets. This includes Renee Good, Alex Pretti, the brave men and women of law enforcement, and the many Americans who have been victimized by illegal alien criminals"

as a jewish alumni association we understand our job to be "get the mayor's ass when he doesn't appreciate snow days enough"
I think it's really bad that the group that claims to speak for Jews at Columbia University is so grossly xenophobic.
Also - Mamdani did grow up in NYC.

There is a fundamental horror about a disease that makes you Not Yourself that, frankly, most people really don't want to grapple with.
It's easier to ascribe moral fault: you must've always been that way, you must've always thought that, it must be your True Self showing through

to the extent that there is a “carrot” to trumpism it is the same carrot that slaveholders offered to lower class white men: “you can be an overseer”

no, if anyone had been able to get Kanye to pretend to be normal or admit his problems or apologize for his actions in the last decade his career would look a lot different, his rollout is more traditionally "say even more insane things than usual"
