I guess the plan is to intimidate people by making them look like the best ska group of 2026.
I'm starting to think the Trumpist mastery of propaganda is failing them. The DHS agents posing this way makes it look like they're ashamed of themselves.

40yrs. I was walking through the campus center after class and it was on the tv they had there. I remember just standing there in utter shock.

as a parent I cannot imagine how absolutely fucking heartbreaking and awful it must be to have to put out a statement like this because the federal government killed your son and is telling monstrous lies about him
Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.
"Please get the truth out about our son."

Following Chuck is never a disappointment.
I know there's a lot more important things going on, but I just want us all to take a moment and read this headline and let it swim around our brains like a screaming paramecium

a reminder, again, that AltNPS is a grifter account run by people who have no affiliation with the National Park Service and indeed who never did have any affiliation with the National Park Service. They have no sources, they have no information, they are purely there to scam you.
"Receiving reports" my ass. AltNPS is not receiving reports of ICE raids in Saint Paul. They are seeing posts on social media like the rest of us.
I DO have loved ones in Saint Paul. ALL of my loved ones. They're terrified. Fuck you.

I literally do not care what anyone is saying on twitter or fucking truth social. Stop cooking your brains on this shit. Stop forcing it down other people’s throats. It’s so fucking annoying.

Several of the photos have Twitter up on a screen in the background but I can’t make out what search term appears

Listen to Cargill.
Welcome to SURREAL WEEK, where calories don't count, drinking is governed by airport rules, no one cares how you're dressed, and marathoning old movies is the norm. You have until January 5th when doing absolutely fucking nothing becomes embarrassing again. Do nothing with it wisely.

The Cracker Barrel thing was THIS YEAR. We have three more years of this shit. Anybody who makes it to 2028 without looking like Nosferatu will be required by the state to start a skincare brand.
