It has been so long since the Chicago Bulls delivered any happiness from success that my brain has been rewired to derive pleasure only in hating them.

CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

and they should again
US Troops killed all the guards at Dachau for this kind of shit.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

I know everyone thinks this but I really do have one of the only, like, five good representatives in the country.
NEW — I spoke with Rep. Delia Ramirez (@ramirez.house.gov) about her calling DHS leaders "inheritors of the Klan hood and the slave patrol," the prospect of one day seeing them behind bars, and what it's like to see the public [finally] embrace her long-held dream to abolish ICE.

Our conversation:
"The day of accountability will come": Rep. Delia Ramirez on abolishing and prosecuting DHS
The Handbasket spoke with the congresswoman who called out ICE long before it was popular.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

I was happy that KD got to choose his place of employment (and win a couple championships) but also sad that the incredible OKC/Cleveland/GSW triumvirate lasted only one season.

I am used to it at this point but the way the Democrats snapped defeat from the jaws of victory after Trump's goons murdered two people in cold blood is just unbelievable.

Robert Kraft the fascist decrepit zionist who owns the Patriots literally has a command center in Patriots Stadium dedicated to tracking anti-zionism. If someone with this much money & power had this kind of command center dedicated to tracking zionism they would say it has Hamas tunnels under it.

they’re just racist thugs doing ethnic cleansing and the whole gang should be in jail
More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

I don't ever want to hear about Reggie Miller being so bad on the broadcast ever again. At least I can tell it's Reggie instantly.

There is nothing in Grant Hill's voice or delivery that is distinctive in any way. Until listening long enough to realize the blandness itself is the identifying trait.
February 10, 2026 at 2:46 AM
This game commentary is so bad that it could only be Grant Hill. I'm gonna turn it off.
