Disgustingly predictable behavior.
Update. The ICE supervisor, who is 47, was arrested for domestic violence against his non-citizen partner who he started a relationship when she was 18 and he was 40.

ICE raids appear to be 100% responsible for the current housing crunch in south Texas. Indeed, they have brought residential construction to an end.
South Texas homebuilders say ICE arrests have slowed work
More than 380 people attended an impromptu meeting that industry leaders in the Rio Grande Valley hosted to draw attention to the chilling effect ICE arrests have had on construction.

It is not just the corruption of Trump pardoning someone who was making him richer. It is also a two-tier justice system where the rich can buy freedom.
Binance paid the lobbyist $800K for the pardon, and were offering lobbyists success fees of up to $6 million.

From Sept. 3 to Oct. 19, about 43% of seats across the Opera House, Concert Hall, and Eisenhower Theaters of the Kennedy Center went unsold – over 50,000 of roughly 143,000 seats. That compares with just 7% the previous year, and ticket spending fell by more than half before Trump's takeover.
Here’s the Ric Grenell letter to Chuck Redd. Because Grenell can’t help himself, he insists that Redd’s withdrawal was “very costly” to the Kennedy Center while also alleging “dismal ticket sales” and “the public’s lack of interest in your show.”

(Hot Take TM) Providing mutual aid as part of campaign work is a good thing that candidates should do more.
🧵 Our mutual aid hub has been a HUGE draw for our immense volunteer base, many of whom have never wanted to be involved politics before now.
This model isn’t just about the immediate impacts: It’s about showing our values, building a community, and reaching voters — without selling our soul!

Talented white guys have no problem getting good jobs. Any white guy complaining about discrimination or wokeness is, by definition, a mediocre loser. If you can't succeed in any industry as a white guy, it's because you have serious personal defects or skill deficiencies worthy of self-reflection.

There is a lot of money and coordination behind those pushing America and Europe in the same far right direction. Based on recent conversations with friends, I don’t think enough people know this.
“The Heritage Foundation, the intellectual engine behind the 922-page blueprint that has become the key policy manual for Trump’s second term, is partnering with a constellation of European nationalist far-right movements to export its playbook for countering progressive policies.” 11/10/25 …1/

Denmark lost more troops per capita in the post 9/11 war on Afghanistan. Saying they “are not a good ally” because they won’t surrender their territories to the US is lunacy. We are betraying our allies to satisfy the whims of a would-be Emperor for whom the US is not enough.
