To any ICE agent out there tonight still retainimg any trace of humanity who might be asking what you can do to calm things down after MN.

It's simple.

Quit. Tomorrow morning. You don't even have to turn in a badge because you never had one.

Just quit and find real work.

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders
Matt Walsh tweeted last year: "We've spent the last 25 years bringing "freedom" and "democracy" to countries around the globe while our own country has been systematically invaded and now our largest cities are run by foreigners and communists. If you want to know why I'm so avowedly non-interventionist, this is why." Then he tweeted today: ""This is a war for oil!!!!!" First of all, the "war" lasted like 90 minutes. Second, going to war to secure vital resources for your own people is totally legitimate. Why should we allow some third world communist shithole to control trillions of dollars worth of oil?" Laura Loomer tweeted last year: "I’m America First, I don’t support “Regime Change”. I went on @Bannons_WarRoom to talk about Chinese aggression in Venezuela and why we need to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign Islamic terrorist organization." Then she tweeted yesterday: "Maduro has arrived at the DEA office in Manhattan. He was transported in an armored motorcade after being transported in a blindfold via helicopter & then by plane to New York after his compound in Caracas was raided by US Special Forces. Proud to be an American today! USA 🇺🇸" Catturd tweeted last year: "Name one U.S. inspired regime change that hasn’t ended in absolute disaster." Then he tweeted yesterday: "Venezuela is now more free than New York City." Will Chamberlain tweeted last year: "The Republican Party is no longer the party of regime change and endless wars If you want to be its standard-bearer that is a non-negotiable position" Then he tweeted yesterday: "I can think of few better uses of my tax dollars than black-bagging the head of a foreign narco-trafficking organization that enriches itself by addicting and poisoning my fellow Americans"

Porn and erotica are important and societally valuable forms of speech, and the defense of them, in the face of state and church attempts at repression, is a necessary political act.

talked to the owner of a denim company that produces jeans in the US. he said that he's seen declining sales abroad in EU and Canada. stores tell him that customers don't want to buy MiUSA products bc Trump makes dumb, pointless threats like "taking over Canada or Greenland"

Men who are anti abortion tell us to “take responsibility”

To close our legs, go on the pill or get our tubes tied

Then they:

Choose to rape

Choose to defund planned parenthood

Choose to prop up a medical system that denies tubals because we might “meet a man who wants kids”

words from lexi alexander, who had been suspended from this platform for being palestinian
You either live in a democracy, in which case you, as citizens, are responsible for the actions of your democratically elected leaders...or you have no choice in who gets elected, in which case you don't live in a democracy and you should definitely do something about that. The world is sick of hearing 350 million Americans say they're helpless and nothing is their fault

The mysterious cartoonist who goes by pseudonym Olivia James has left the comic strip Nancy which she revitalized with sometimes surreal, absurdist and self-aware humor in 2018. Starting today Nancy is by Eisner winner Caroline Cash. Exciting times for Nancy fans! www.gocomics.com/extras/nancy...
“Nancy” Says Goodbye to Olivia James, Hello to a Brand-New Creator
It’s a new era for the comic strip, which has been in print for more than 100 years.

NYT commiting journalistic malpractice is like my wife or friends cuddling me. It's just normal at this point. like who still subs to NYT?

This is basically journalistic malpractice.

This NYT story failed the reader by not digging deeper. One subject dropped out of college after one year (five years ago) and lists "Windows" as his skillset. Story should be: young conservatives who blame immigrants for their personal failures and whose lives won't be improved w/ fewer immigrants

1-panel SMBC comic update. A narration box at the top of the panel reads : "once you realize JRR Tolkien wants every proper noun to have three syllables, stressed-unstressed-stressed, that end with the sound "or," you start noticing Tolkine-names everywhere." The image below it shows two characters talking, the woman demonstrating what the narration box is describing while a man is repetitively telling her to stop. She says : "I love your cottagecore home-decor. And behold! 'Tis near the liquor-store! You'll have to meet my labrador, Sekeletor. Now, monseigneur, where is the corridor to your crapper-door?"
