I keep reading posts from Canadians about Trumpism, how Americans deserve what we get for not doing anything

They say because we curse them out and use profanity

That we’re no better than magas
and our arguments lack merit because of profanity

Fuck off you fucking privileged fucktards
😁

So it turns out an ice agent is much more likely to have an arrest record than an immigrant.

If you make a billion dollars — or $500 million or even $100 million dollars — and you keep trying to make more, then there is something seriously wrong with you. It's a mental illness akin to hoarding or drug addiction.

Another self-righteous Canadian turns his replies off because he doesn’t like it when Americans tell him:

a) we’re doing the best we can
b) It’s not 1776 - we can’t pick up guns and just attack
c) The FBI won’t be at your door for being anti regime like an American in say, Chicago, so STFU
Almost daily someone wants to tell me that I should mind my own business and stay out of US "politics". So almost daily I have to remind them that Trumpism affects global economics, environment and peace. I'll do what every concerned global citizen should do. I'll express my opinion. Loudly.

The GOP refuses to address its healthcare crisis, and it's having real effects here in North Carolina.

Every House Democrat has signed a discharge petition to extend the ACA tax credits. If just four Republicans join us, we can stop premiums from skyrocketing.

Some people on the private market are already seeing higher health insurance premiums, and thousands who rely on Medicaid could lose coverage.

Here's a big problem, though: This starfish regenerates from even a single surviving arm (like a Terminator!).

So humans have invented a terminator of their own: an AI powered, toxin-injecting underwater robot called RangerBot.

I mean, what's the =worst= that could happen?

You must watch this
You must support PBS

You think it’s about a battle

But it’s really about courage and love

They fight for their lives while calling each other brother, friend, holding hands, yelling at the enemy while engaging “…why are you fuckers here!?”

This film is still rolling around in my brain today. Stunning, bracing, a critical watch.
The PBS/FRONTLINE/Associated Press documentary film from the Ukrainian eastern front line is astounding — www.pbs.org/video/2000-m...

Putin must be laughing his ass off on a daily basis. The motherfucker didn’t have to fire a shot

We spent decades terrified of nuclear weapons - when we should’ve been watching the fucking Heritage Foundation

The the United States is destroyed

I am all for this
I hate my car so I’ll chase the mofos through a park, over curbs, into the other direction of traffic - while smoking a joint and blaring the radio

I drove through a fuckin tornado last fall in Missouri

I can chase the Orcs out of town

Great reporting and a knockout final line:

“Not long after, as the sun was going down, an SUV with tinted windows and an out-of-state license plate was seen barreling down a nearby street. It was followed closely by three cars, with drivers laying on their horns and whistling.”
At MPR now: Across the Twin Cities, ICE agents and activists are playing a high stakes cat-and-mouse game. The goal is to make ICE agents' jobs as difficult as possible, and protect their immigrant neighbors.
