I gasped when I saw that gif when Joris first posted that paper, incredible stuff

How a DHS shooting of a third U.S. citizen went unnoticed for months No state or federal agency disclosed that a Homeland Security Investigations agent had killed Ruben Ray Martinez until it was revealed in a public records request.

DHS killed a 23yo in Texas in March 2025 the same way they killed Renee Good www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Oh my GOD

My deep and fiery vendetta against Cuellar triples in size

Now this might strike some readers as harsh, but........

it's funny you can see how much the New Deal fixed macroeconomic stability within the United States, and the elite hated FDR for it

You literally appeared under this lmao

Back to 2009: Platner had finished 4 years active duty and enrolled in college, but quickly dropped out and wanted to go back to war. The Gulf War was raging; the Marines were so shorthanded they were recalling servicemen to duty. But they didn’t want Platner. 3/

I believe you Secretary Nothing Ever Happens

I’d love to get into bike riding if I wouldn’t be in constant mortal peril

I truly don’t understand why Senators take secretary jobs unless they know they are in their final term

Life is short, friends. Spend as much of it as you can loving people.

Alternatively: we voted for hope and change two decades ago and uhhhhhhh

When they say make things more like the corporate world, they mean make people rich for doing worthless jobs

Steve King 9 @SteveKinglA + Follow Wilders understands that culture and demographics are our destiny. We can't restore our civilization with somebody else's babies. ESTERN ILIZATION Voice of Europe @V_of_Europe Hundreds of Islamists shouting "Allahu Akbar" in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

I'm teaching about early 20th century eugenics today and was reminded that 9 years ago Republican Representative Steve King was stripped of his committee assignments by his GOP colleagues for this post that simply states what is now bog standard GOP policy/rhetoric on immigration and "civilization."

U.S. sub sinks Iranian warship off Sri Lanka, killing 87 and expanding war zone A U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, killing dozens of sailors and dramatically widening Washington's pursuit of the Iranian navy.

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000
miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

For comparison: the Japanese offshore seismic network and earthquake early warning system cost like $78 million to put and place and about $2 million a year to maintain.

So much stuff could be done if we stopped deciding we loved killing people more than literally anything else.

I have so much EV envy even though I don’t own a home for charging infrastructure and my 2017 Corolla is Just Fine
