ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis or we WILL lock up our own citizens
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey says 29 people were arrested in downtown last night during a noise demonstration at a hotel reportedly housing ICE agents: "For those that are taking the bait and causing property damage or otherwise, there are consequences. We're holding the line here all the way."

The best description I ever heard of News Corp was from a Murdoch biographer who called it a kind of free-floating state television which various regimes could contract with to provide propaganda. The new CBS is actually lower than that, even.
A CBS News staffer told me this after Tony Dokoupil kicked off his CBS Evening News tenure tonight with a lengthy Pete Hegseth interview:

"If this is what Bari and Tony’s CBS Evening News is going to look like, then the we may as well just call ourselves Trump Administration State TV. Pathetic."

Was thinking of this Bush-era line a lot today, after I was done amusing myself looking up all the freakasses who called Trump antiwar or dovish, when he's just another bloodthirsty piggish neocon.

any time a liberal says "dearborn" brace for impact
The "Do Something Now" folks, Free Palestine Movement folks, Dearborn folks, AIPAC is bad folks, Hillary & Kamala were bad choices folks, Bernard should have been POTUS folks, etc., y'all are responsible for all the retaliation coming to us.

I've made my peace.
Hopefully, y'all make yours soon.

This should not be shrugged aside. They have stopped with the fake 22 million illegal immigrants things and are flat out saying we want to deport 10's of millions of citizens and legal residents from "third world countries" Basically they are advocating removing 1/3 of the population on a gov site.

Furthermore, the University has continued to issue public statements regarding the investigation, despite confidentiality rules that kept Ms. Curth from being able to discuss any details of the situation, while the student was going on a circuit of local and national television interviews.

I think this is horrifying and immoral and illegal. I also feel like I’m taking crazy pills because people seem to be of the view that this is at variance from bipartisan American policy, rather than exactly what we’ve been doing for my entire adult life
The US is at war with Venezuela.

No Congressional authorization, no public debate, no clearly stated goal, no casus belli, and a gradual ramp up rather than big opening, so many haven’t noticed (or deny it). But this attack removes the ambiguity.

US is at war with Venezuela. With no end in sight.
