it should be a tell about what's happening in the media now that most mainstream commentators seem openly frustrated that polling does not blame democrats for the shutdown

They have tried again and again but they can't get a grand jury to be mad about someone fighting an ICE goon

My dad drove us in a loaner Tesla this morning where Grok AI:
Turned itself on
Would not turn off
Instructed how to tell it to stop (did not stop)
Instructed how to tell it to play music (did not music)

After setting the volume to 0 and sitting in silence, an advertisement forced the volume back on

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

a screenshot of a pie with a strange face that looks similar to Dagoth Ur’s mask. The text reads “what a fool you are. I’m a pie. How can’t you eat a pie? What a grand and intoxicating innocence”

I'm really not a fan of liberal protest flags that are styled after Trump campaign flags. Folks, we don't need to copy the aesthetic of the Fuddruckers Death Squad.

The United States president, who is a pedophile, is currently leading a government shutdown because he is semi-illiterate and professionally destitute in the basic functions of civil government and his lackeys are refusing to remediate this because it would reveal that said president is a pedophile.

I guess I shouldn't be *surprised* but it is making my head spin that the feds have shot two people, with live rounds, killing one of them, in Chicagoland in recent weeks, and in both cases they were very clearly found to be lying about what happened, and essentially nothing is happening about it.

this is a very very big story because of the apparently totally fake story ICE/DHS put out about what happened.
