West Coast. East Coast. Trail running. Irish fiction. Spy novels. Conservation. Content in all forms. Manhattan and manhattans.
2/2 Scenario 2: One shot goes the other direction in Minneapolis. Trump declares some form of Martial Law. He then expands to NYC, LA, SF, Portland, etc and says it’s too dangerous to vote. ICE is a chaos agent. He’s been attacking vote by mail for THIS reason. He chokes off voting.

1/12 You have this wrong, I’m afraid. Scenario 1-If one ICE member kills one senior citizen vying in Detroit, what do you think other seniors are going to do? You’ll lose x%. Now repeat with one ICE and one person of color and again with LGBTQ+. Now you have say 15% of voters who won’t come out.

A vote for DHS is complicity with murder. Good for you. Tell your friends.

Maybe just a logy, less the eu.

I think many of us have his eulogy prepared in advance if he forgets.

DHS funding is complicity with murder. Tell your friends.

Zero, nada, none.

Cancel my Dem subscription. Most of them need to go, too. Zed fucking courage while we’re dying in the streets.

This may be the first time in a year that the market behaved rationally. Can’t wait to see who shorted in last Friday.

I live there. You’re half right, George. Minneapolis is any big-ish city with a Democratic mayor. The game here is to get one bullet going the other way. He will extrapolate to NYC, San Fran, Portland and shut down mid-terms. That is the only lens we should be using.

What’s the NYT’s cut for laundering it all as legal?

Funding ICE is complicity with murder. That’s the message. Reining in means nothing, friend.

This is a great Saturday Night Live skit. This guy playing Bessent seems almost too douchie tho.

Add the role of private banking, please.

I don’t take this paper any longer for the same reasons everyone else cancelled—owned by Trumpy tech bro and run by a disgraced former BoJo stooge, but you’d only have to walk down the hall at WaPo to get the interview with a defendant.

This was always the ploy. Blue states need to have call emergent powers and invoke mail-in ballots everywhere with no postage necessary. Further, they need to triple sentencing for any tampering.

Congress, if you’re funding ICE, you’re now funding murder of Americans.

Jeezus! There’s “deep embarrassment” among senior AND mid-level FIFA execs. I was ready to laugh it off until I learned that the highly ethical mid-levels were also embarrassed.
January 19, 2026 at 4:57 AM
He’s half right. You don’t really need the word “protector.”
Trump doesn’t protect anyone but himself, so …

How many more must die because Trump is an unindicted pedophile? Release the Epstein files!

Whoops the headline got reversed. America’s Desire to Tear NATO Apart Turns on Greenland.
