👀 Interesting display of moral confusion:
- People lionizing Luigi Mangione, for shooting United Health CEO in the back in cold blood....while hating ICE fascists, for shooting Alex Pretti in the back in cold blood.
- Pick one.

Greg 'the bovine' Bovino seems to have a death wish - due to his miserable childhood in NC (abusive, criminal alcoholic dad, and abanoned while in high school).
- and Minneapolis has a long tradition of serious, and armed, anarchist groups. (don't ask me how I know this thx.)
Bring it on.

There are thousands of images of the ICE assault on America. This is one of many that should haunt every person who did anything along the way to get the country to this nightmarish point. We are killing moms, grabbing grandfathers, pepper spraying clergy & kidnapping children. Shame. Shame. Shame.

terrific for Rasmus Jarlov! this is entirely spot-on.
Danish MP Rasmus Jarlov on Stephen Miller:
"I hope he’s kept away from young women because that’s the mentality of a rapist.
You can’t defend yourself, so I’m going to take you. That’s basically what he’s saying."

ICE agent Jonathan Ross, murderer of Renee Nicole Good, was involved in a previous ICE/driver interaction gone wrong, in June 2025 - in which Ross was dragged 100 yards.
- perhaps bc of his trauma from that incident, he decided yesterday to commit 'suicide by poet' in front of Ms. Good's vehicle.

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

swear to gawd Sean Payton's game plan is for the Broncos to put the opposing team to sleep.
- so the donkeys can continue to win the *most boring games* in the NFL.

Broncos? No offense Sean & Bo but......you have no offense.
- at 13-3 this team continues to underwhelm.
- Halftime score against Chargers backups? 10-3, with not one single offensive touchdown.
