If this was something that his base actually *wanted* then he would be doing these high-profile ICE raids in, say, Alabama. But he knows that this way of doing things is a punishment, so he will not inflict it on states that voted for it. /2

Hey MAGA did warn us about importing petty old-world ethnic hatred
Absolutely crazy that Mehmet Oz is calling Armenian a "dialect" while trying to gin up a crackdown on alleged systemic fraud (which he blames on ethnic organized crime)

I wrote about how studying Marx, the Black Radical tradition, and the Cappadocian Fathers led me to rediscover my faith, forgive the woman who killed my mother, embrace prison abolition, and champion the idea that none are saved unless *all* are saved!

Amusingly, Justice Stevens, who wrote the dissent for four justices, argued that Congress has the authority to compel local and state officials to enforce federal law in times of emergency (then, the gun violence epidemic), which some liberals would certainly hate if it had prevailed now . . .
In Printz v. United States, #SCOTUS held that the Constitution bars the federal government from forcing or otherwise compelling local or state governments to enforce federal law.
The liberal squish who wrote the majority opinion in that case? Justice Antonin Scalia:

Bari Weiss is playing a very dangerous game when she reframes her job from "make CBS News more conservative" to "retooling a multimedia empire" because she has even less experience with the latter.

Fire her security if that was any weapon this ends up a political assassination. That could have been nerve agent, toxins, biological agent or chemical agents and I know too many people that know how to make these

This is all just admitting "knowing this stuff doesn't make you money".
Are the humanities the only disciplines whose classes begin with modules speaking to the importance of studying the humanities? "Why study the humanities?" and "Why the humanities are important" must be cliches.

Nunca creí que los leopardos comerían MI cara
The co-founder of Latinas for Trump is now condemning Trump’s ICE raids:
“I’m afraid of someone stopping my son.”
“This is not what we voted for.”

Asked about Minneapolis, Victor Wembanyama says, “PR has tried, but I’m not going to sit here and be politically correct.”
Then says “it’s crazy that people make it seem like … the murder of civilians is acceptable.”

Wason selection tasks rule everything around me
I'm goin nuts with the reporting on this. I can't find a single piece that answers the question: can users upload non-anti-ICE videos? That would be a useful question to answer in order to narrow down possible causes here
TikTok users say they can’t upload anti-ICE videos. The company blames tech issues

My gosh. Alex Pretti was notifying neighbors that Trump and Vance's agents were chasing a family. A mob of agents then tackled him and broke his rib.
He thought he was going to die.
Then the very next week, he came back out to support his neighbors.
And a mob of agents killed him.
