ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis or we WILL lock up our own citizens
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey says 29 people were arrested in downtown last night during a noise demonstration at a hotel reportedly housing ICE agents: "For those that are taking the bait and causing property damage or otherwise, there are consequences. We're holding the line here all the way."

Everything happening now has a precedent. This is not new. Please understand that everything happening now is very American. The only change is that it is happening on camera to middle income white people. Ask BIPOC and low income white people about abuses by the state.

A 6-year-old kid has lost a parent for the rest of their life because some trigger-happy terrorist decided so, and if that doesn’t break your heart then honestly mine breaks for you.

ICE killed a member of our community today. ICE showed up at my kid’s daycare today. ICE is bragging about the number of families they’ve torn apart in a matter of days, and promising that their campaign of terror isn’t done.

Remember how appalled we all were in 2022 when Russia completely unprovoked attacked Ukraine? That is what we’re doing tonight with Venezuela. We are the bad guys here. Everyone who supports this is supporting unprovoked murder. Fuck every last one of them

Why do I have to have a job where I produce value to the general society when some people get paid to do whatever the fuck this is
This is how Christopher Caldwell begins his essay on Zohran Mamdani for the Claremont Review of Books.

Why are these people such freaks?

I am a little tired of being yelled at for this but apparently not tired about: heroin addiction is not RFK’s problem. He’s a sociopath. Most addicts aren’t. Honestly, walk into an NA meeting, grab the first person with a few years to be head of HHS and they’d probably do a better job than Bobby.
This is what happens when you put a privileged, 14 year heroin addict in charge of health. Duh

I won't comment on how much of the Epstein files I expect to actually be revealed, but I feel fairly confident in my expectations of the media. So I'd like to offer a helpful glossary of definitions of their often opaque terminology

Whenever this nightmare ends, the overarching ideology of our rebuilt society must be "you will care about other people and you will care for other people OR ELSE"

I googled around for the last 20 minutes and the terrorist attack that has caused them to unleash the full fury of their military upon the Gaza civilians once again is one in which Israel admits absolutely no one was injured and they have given zero proof to show that the attack even happened.

I will face my nostalgia. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it is gone past I will turn the inner eye to see it's path. Where the nostalgia has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

“I’ve never felt more at threat here. I can’t stop thinking that everything would be so different if I detransitioned.”
