Happy to see Sofia Vergara represent 3 separate ad campaigns during the Super Bowl.

She's naturally what every Mar-a-lago face gets surgery to be.

Girls' teacher told them that no one liked the Seahawks. She was rooting for the Patriots.

Their father is from Seattle. We are a Seahawks house.

We hope she's mad. 😂

We must not shrink.

That Halftime show expanded my world.

That's what we come together to do.

The announcers talked nonstop about Lindsay Vonn and even when they were talking about Breezy Johnson, were talking about how she must be feeling about Lindsay Vonn. Yes, it's tragic - but give Breezy some love about her accomplishment. Damnit.

Hiring for federal prosecutors has grown tough under Trump. For one thing, ideological questions are now part of the process.

“How would you help advance the president’s executive orders and policy priorities in this role?” reads one query on an application.

The proposed centers are so large that some could house as many as 8,000 detainees at once, according to a DHS spreadsheet of more than 20 potential locations that was verified by NBC News. The largest federal prison in the U.S., for example, has roughly 4,000 inmates.
ICE plans to build mega warehouses for immigration detention spark growing concern
Sources at two government contractors told NBC News they were worried that new warehouses — and the large numbers of immigrants who would be housed in them — would present safety problems.

Begging folks to realize that ICE enforcement is a mass disabling event.

People are being shot. They’ve been blinded. They’ve been traumatized.

The camps are full of disease.

TB, Covid and measles can all kill but they also disable.

It’s eugenics.
