ICE agents ate at El Tapatio in Willmar, MN, then came back hours later and detained the workers who served them. Turning a meal into surveillance isn’t public safety it’s intimidation. Remember private businesses can refuse service to ICE agents!
ICE agents eat at small-town Mexican restaurant — then detain workers

I was telling one of my kids that it was physically impossible for an ad to play between songs on any of the records I own, and they asked "and you only have to pay for it once?" and you could see how strange that seemed. You cannot overstate how many basic rules of media consumption have changed.

I’m headed to Beijing.
China is our second-largest trading partner, and the world’s second largest economy. A pragmatic and constructive relationship between our nations will create greater stability, security, and prosperity on both sides of the Pacific.

DHS is quoting the KKK on X. At this point, it’s hard to call it anything but AmeriKKKa. “We’ll have our home again” has been used historically in Ku Klux Klan propaganda, chants, and publications, particularly in the early–mid 20th century

OMG the levels of the dumb in this country are truly shocking. Does any rational person NOT know that the throne speech is written by the government in power, and that the sovereign or Governor General only adds their own introduction? JFC.

By boosting domestic production, using Canadian materials, and backing new Canadian technologies, we’ll get the job done.
