About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

A small number of demonstrators attempted to protest/march in the street.

Massive number of ISP troopers in riot gear responded by blocking 25th, threatening arrest, shouting into megaphone about an unlawful assembly.

Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”

There. Are. No. Exceptions. To. Human. Rights. If one of us isn't free, none of us are free. I want to live in a country where a politician who stands on this principle isn't the exception. But until then, Mamdani is an example of what's possible, and what we should demand from our leaders.

A lawsuit alleges a Black postal worker died after officers ignored clear signs he was suffering from a massive stroke, believing his medical emergency was drugs

The suit says guards left him helpless on a jail cell floor in his own urine for hours

All the "good cop" Democrats like Biden, Harris, Schumer, Pelosi, Torres, Fetterman, etc. refused to draw the line at genocide, and now we ALL suffer the wrath of their BFFs, the "bad cop" GOP. They all got filthy rich and they had a fully-furnished prepared script to blame the left. It's repulsive.

“[P]olice and prosecutors constantly lie to the media to punish women and protect themselves. It’s so important that journalists don’t treat police statements as facts. That is especially true as police continue to collaborate with abusers in their efforts to harass and torment their victims.”

this guy did the most basic vanilla criticism of the gestapo and our pathetic press/culture acts like he took a dump on stage

then of course he can't stand behind any sort of principles and has to backtrack, insisting he didn't want to "get political," while ambiguously deriding "divisiveness"

Zach Bryan responds to backlash over song 'Bad News' amid claims it is anti-ICE

The country star said the song is about his love for the country, and anyone who uses it "as a weapon is only proving how devastatingly divided we all are."

is it not weird that every day there’s a new video of anonymous masked men having the time of their lives beating/shooting/disappearing people and the dem response from the top down is “republicans want to double your health insurance premiums”

The biggest dorks run our town. Thankfully, we have a chance to replace our mayor and some of the problematic municipal council members in November.

Our municipality just canceled the Halloween parade they put on for the kids every year, but at least we invested in one of these! (We have virtually zero crime.)
