This is a petty matter, truly minor, but it's absolutely so irritating that this administration is not only evil, they also are really messy in how they do things so it's hard to pull together whatever bullshit new fees or process you're looking up

There is a stellar insult waiting to be made of “God’s infinite dong” and I just hope one of you find it.

FUNDAMENTALIST CHRISTIAN LOGIC
1. A male is defined by having a penis and testicles
2. God is a male.

Therefore
3. God has balls and a wang.

Ask a fundamentalist how big god’s hog is. No matter how big he says it is, it will be a limit to the infinite size of god and therefore a blasphemy.

Not enough air traffic controllers in Chicago one of the busiest airports in the world but plenty of ICE agents to stand up to a frog.

The scenes out of Chicago should outrage us all. These federal agents are out of control, committing senseless acts of violence & putting everyone at risk.

American citizens are being detained & brutalized.

This kind of immigration "enforcement" shouldn't be acceptable to anyone.

Immigration agents become increasingly aggressive in Chicago

This made me laugh so hard. Second screenshot is of the video posted by Benny Johnson of the event.

BREAKING: DHS Secretary Kristi Noem stares down army of Antifa and a guy in a chicken suit from the rooftop of the ICE facility here in Portland.
Noem says:
"Hey; Guy in the chicken suit. You can do better.
Too bad they are uneducated and ill-informed."
Noem isn't chicken: [chicken emoji]

A view from the roof of the building. There are about 15-20 people visible in total, several of whom appear to be reporters. Most are holding signs. They aren’t even taking up the whole sidewalk. One guy is wearing a chicken suit.

It wasn't good before

It is a lot worse now

Biden, Mayorkas, and Garland messed up a lot

But it's a lot worse now

I often come across cases of families split by immigration. For example, one or both parents of a family unit come to the US to support their children. The family grows apart as the years become decades. These parents dream of seeing the kids who grew up while they worked

All because of a fake line

Our immigration system existed in the absurd compromise between a populace that recognizes that Americans are made, not just born , and bigots and those who want an underclass to exploit

The worst impulses and abuses are being indulged once again at absurd rates

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children

Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

My Lai was in part the result of abandoning personnel standards for military recruitment.

Calley, for example, was unfit to be a private and yet became a 2nd Lieutenant; he was barely able to read at all.

And ICE has if anything set its standards much, much lower than the military did in Vietnam.

I just read the My Lai wiki page and wish I hadn't. Fucking brutal.

Even the American Conservative is skeptical of the Trump administration’s asserted rationale for US aggression toward Venezuela. An interesting read. 10/7/25 … 1/ www.theamericanconservative.com/what-does-th...

What Does the U.S. Want in Venezuela?

The administration is making it difficult to discern what it perceives to be our interests in Latin America.

One person who is Cuban who I know said that people grow up with a strongman presence in their life, even one they don't like, and expect one when they migrate elsewhere, so they're attracted by a strongman who claims they'll be the enemy of their enemy

I mean sometimes McCarthyism and the anti-communist agenda of our government makes the dice benefit certain populations with some arbitrariness!
