When Renee Good said "I'm not mad at you" what the ICE goon heard was "I'm not scared of you."
That's what enraged him. The populace wasn't fully terrorized and cowed into submission yet, so he acted to make that happen.

A fun thing about alcohol is that when you don’t drink it for a while and then go back, sometimes you don’t remember things. The post this was in response to is deleted, and I have no fucking idea what it was about
Holy shit. I fucking loved this. That man is brilliant.

The fun part is that the town was named Equality when there were still slaves in Alabama.

Living in a state with legal weed is cool. Having a dispensary a five-minute walk away is cool. What's not cool is the lady at the dispensary saying to you "thanks for coming in so much." Now, it feels like a problem when before it was just a fun way to ease stress.

The report is: "YOU COULD HAVE JUST BEEN RIGHT ON PALESTINE & TRANS PEOPLE" in big 98 font letters.
BREAKING: The Democratic National Committee will NOT release its long-awaited autopsy on Trump's 2024 win. The report is completed but Dem leaders decided it could distract from their winning streak, so it will remain secret. Not good.

Yo, folks. This was the reply for a comment about Eric Swalwell being shitty on trans issues. This is gross. You can be an ally without being so disgusting

I’ve watched One Battle After Another five times. I like it more with each viewing. Benicio del Toro’s Sensei Sergio St. Carlos is pure joy.

Rob Reiner was a good guy. He made a lot of movies about good guys, in worlds where not everyone was good and you didn’t have to be good. He made movies about people trying. He was angry, as many hopeful people are. He knew the world could be better and he wanted it to be. His death is devastating.

Everything about this wockaflocka is small. He makes everyone around his ass small. Ask yourself if he's made you smaller too. It ain't too late to stand.

The Trump comments about Rob Reiner are extra batshit because a few months ago people were getting fired and civil war was being threatened because some people dared to accurately describe Charlie Kirk's beliefs

I know that Trump's death won't magically fix everything but I do think that the collective wave of global joy that when we all get the news will be powerful enough to at least save an endangered species of something

this week, congress has agreed to ban trans participation in sports at military academies and the opening bid to fix aca subsidies bans trans care coverage on obamacare exchanges
why does it feel like we’re not seeing a five alarm fire from the lgbtq+ advocacy groups yet

No one was ever gonna be able to follow Saban effectively but this dude has done everything to alienate the fanbase while always shitting the bed on the biggest stages. Really wish he’d taken the Penn State job.

This honestly puts Kash's FBI in a hilarious position, especially if the J6 pardon extends to Cole. One of the funniest own goals ever, with Kash on TV last night claiming Biden's DOJ deliberately didn't find this guy. Will they prosecute him only to be pardoned bc he confessed his love for Trump?
BREAKING on MS NOW:
Brian Cole Jr., the suspect accused of being the Jan. 6 pipe bomber, confessed to agents that he planted the bombs and has indicated he supported President Trump, according to two people familiar with his interview.

the funniest thing about Trump is that if he doesn’t have someone actively poisoning him a few times a week he reliably comes out with “I just had the best idea—what if you didn’t have to PAY to go to the DOCTOR” or similar

This is absolutely insane. The Director of the National Economic Council is saying he uses AI to make his boss (Donald Trump) happy. What the hell is going on right now?
Hassett: "The way to think about what AI & its agents can do is they can act as if they're the best coach you've ever had. And so while you're trying to figure out, how do I make my boss happy? It's like you've got a coach right there with you every step of the way."

Regardless of what happens tonight, the South matters a lot more than you think
Yes. Important to realize that Tennessee sent 2 Dems to Congress until very recently. This seat was rigged with the explicit intent of not being anywhere near winnable. The fact that the Reps had to sweat it is VERY bad for them.
TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there.
Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.

Okay, well that seems a bit problematic
This article heavily implies that ICE is being used in a custody dispute to help Karoline Leavitt's brother get his son and have the mother locked up in ICE detention
"A woman with a family connection to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Revere, Massachusetts."
