I know there’s a negative side too but you can’t say these guys aren’t doing ANYTHING for the city. A find like this brings so much joy into some kid’s life!
Reporter Louis Krauss saw this. An agent apparently dropped a flash grenade that was left with the pin still in it on Park Avenue after driving away in a squad car.

Don't want to beat this into the ground, but we always gotta remind folks out there not to fixate too much on the slogan!
I really want people to understand that CBP is arguably as bad or worse than ICE.
CBP was engaged in horrible behavior back when ICE was mostly doing custody transfers.
Over-fixating on ICE doesn’t solve it.
We really need a comprehensive overhaul of the DHS monstrosity when this is over.

Rich cultural text that Will Stancil is in the streets of Minneapolis fighting ICE while the ten thousand losers who want him to dead are petrified of No Kings events because they might see a mom with a cell phone.
Just a perfect distillation of every discourse.

This is just trivial and childish; a minor national embarrassment among many. But man, remember when this would have been a big story?

It did lead to a lot of cheerful reminiscing (I won't even say "discourse") about newspaper comics in general and our connection to them, especially as a bunch of wordy kids. In a way that's the memorial Adams earned, that we talk about OTHER creators in the American medium where he made his name.
There's nothing funny about the death of Scott Adams, which is a fitting tribute to his legacy as a cartoonist.

I do not actually care how you feel about it but it would be totally accurate to describe the current Dem caucus as “the most unrelentingly hostile minority to executive nominees in American history” and I think it is at the very least odd to pretend otherwise
I am not sure why folks are having trouble with the notion that 100% of Dems voting against 100% of the opposition party’s nominees—a thing that has never happened in American history—is not a particular realistic standard.
Lucky, it is also not a particularly useful standard!

I know I should not further any more discourse about this primary than we’ve already experienced but COME ON. We done TOLD you this was all Gender.
Things I did not need to know from a political campaign: ""Graham has great sperm," Gertner said in the video. “The infertility was something that was part of my body.”"
Graham Platner on campaign hiatus to pursue pregnancy with wife in Norway
In a video on social media, Platner said a first attempt at IVF costs $25,000 in the U.S., while one IVF round in Norway costs $5,500.

Well the whole thing about Breathed is he eventually came back! And remains beloved, through the One Weird Trick of not becoming an insane asshole.
If he'd just gone the way of Watterson, Breathed, Larson, etc he'd likely be greatly mourned today. Instead he chose to be a ridiculous, malevolent Too Online Guy and that's how he'll be remembered.

I mean this is all a freaking joke obviously (wouldn't want Greenland to become Venezuela lol!) but it's also just really...dark, and really stupid, the way they unironically say things like "assert dominance" now. Does he understand that's not a FLATTERING way to describe your own behavior?

This is why I think people worried about Dems who won’t say a thing like “abolish ICE” now probably don’t need to worry TOO much. You’re allowed to be annoyed with them for now! But the politics already look pretty straightforward here. Everybody is going to come around to SOME version of it.
This YouGov poll on ICE is really eye-opening. Public opinion has really swung against DHS/ICE and their terror regime.

This all bonkers, completely made-up numbers and all. But it can really just be boiled down to "if my signature policy I put my whole shriveled soul into and personally made happen doesn't pass legal muster, well, it's a disaster for all of you. This is not my fault and I am not sorry."

you heard the lady, "purity tests" are good, now get to it 🙄
Democratic voters have a decision to make in every primary, both in the midterms and in 2028.
Folks need to “purity test” candidates. Period.
Look at what policies candidates stand for and look at their donors.
This moment is not for politicians without a spine.

I mean obviously I agree with this broadly, I just can't imagine thinking it's anyway LIKELY that "unity politics" will be anybody's angle when the day comes. Whoever wins the Dem presidential primary will do so in part by promising a more extravagant "divine vengeance" moment than everyone else!
I hope Democrats understand that if and when they get back to power, defaulting to “unity” politics and empty reconciliation without any real accountability would not only be morally abhorrent, but also politically suicidal: The desire for at least some semblance of justice will be overwhelming.
