The people celebrating ICE enjoy watching masked men terrorize and abuse women and children. They love it! They enjoy watching the videos of the violence first, then create justifications for that violence in reverse. Their ICE support is predicated on wanting the violence to escalate and continue

“I consider them to be almost — well, at times, most certainly — ecstatic music, in that they transport you to another realm that is verging on a kind of spiritual thing for me.” Jim Jarmusch on Sunn 0))).

Seen Sunn 0))) once and Stephen O'Malley solo once. Truly a spiritual experience. #metal

TL;DR: he assaulted and choked a pregnant woman. Definitely should still be a cop. Seems to be cut from the same cloth as John Catanzara, a notoriously abusive creep who stalked and abused ex-girlfriends.

Beyond this dude being great, this clip is kind of surreal: you literally hear the opinion talking head giving the supposedly “unbiased” reporter on the ground the talking points to shift the narrative, and the “reporter” just reiterates them verbatim. Bari Weiss’ dream.

NEW: Data released by ICE shows that virtually the entire growth of detention in the last few months has been among people with no criminal record at all - no prior convictions (no matter how minor) and no pending criminal charges.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.

She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

A lot of funny things about this, like the Board not being able to concede the airport isn't dying while Brandon Johnson is mayor so they're like "well, the airport's better but that Chance the Rapper NYE thing wasn't entertaining enough." Also, the Edit Board doesn't know the blue line exists.
From the Editorial Board: Most Chicagoans feel proud when their flight attendants say, “Welcome to Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport,” as a big bird touches down and well they should. It’s a world-class operation thanks to effective management and to two of America’s most famous corporations.
Editorial: When it comes to growth, we wish all of Chicago’s was humming like O’Hare
Thanks to American and United Airlines, our big airport is the city’s biggest asset.

I’m watching a Law &Order: CI episode that started with a Joe Pesci guy saying “10 hours on a bus, my ‘roids are screaming blue murder.”

I like that the writers room was like “should he be a tough guy, but like secretly afraid of his mother? No, that’s cliche. He has gastrointestinal issues.”

“If a woman dares to show herself in public in any way, then she can and will be sexually harassed with the aid of genAI-driven tools that can easily turn her face into highly realistic pornography” is an absolute red-alarm human rights disaster
The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

Another out-of-touch piece. The Board finally recognizes transit is essential to the economic health of downtown, though I would argue it's a civic and human right. But, worth noting the Board consistently opposed the public transit funding bill. That aside, oh boy, the dogwhistles.

Next time someone says they don’t have to apologize for being white anymore, ask them to tell about the most recent time they were forced to apologize for being white and who made them do it.

I wonder how many people have now seen the photo of Barbra's mansion because they were too young to know the reference and Googled the Streisand Effect. It's like every later example of the Streisand Effect also as a formality redoes the original Streisand Effect.
