No no no no no, Josh. This is different. We're not engaging in nation building here. There's no 20 year plan. This is *COMPLETELY* DIFFERENT!

Hegseth says so.

No, what's their fault is choosing to work for him. They have other options.

Maybe how this affects the GOP isn't the most important thing here. Maybe the U.S. slaughtering people is a crime that necessitates a better response than "relax, this'll be great for the election cycle."

Banana fiber used in textiles goes back *thousands* of years! JilianEve has a little bit of history about it - and rose and pineapple fibers - here.

What I remember most about my time at Blockbuster was the community. Friday and Saturday nights were FULL, sometimes stiflingly so. And customers would bond with each other and employees over movies. It was a legit hangout.

That is EXACTLY what protesters should be doing so long as ICE acts with total impunity outside the law, violates human rights, and gets away with it again and again while our elected leaders make excuses and do nothing.

Non-disruptive protest does nothing.

El Sayed: It's time to abolish ICE After the violence of the last year, abolishing ICE is not extreme; it is the necessary next step.

I went to Minneapolis to see what it means when ICE occupies a city. And I left with one unmistakable realization: ICE is not broken. It is working exactly as President Donald Trump wants it to.

It cannot be reformed or retrained. It must be abolished.

Shutdown update: Sen. Bernie Sanders wants an amendment vote on funding package to repeal $75 billion for ICE in big beautiful bill. Has another proposal to redirect that money into Medicaid

Hey, my American friends, do you get it now? Do you understand what’s happening?
It time for an Uprising. Or you will lose what freedom you have left.
Good luck to you all.

I'm old enough to remember when we all understood perfectly well that DHS was itself an overreach of federal power. Funny how we've all just accepted it now.

All net proceeds of all these shirts, hoodies and onesies will go to aid organizations in Minnesota working to protect their neighbors from terror. Fuck ICE, stand with Minneapolis.

People already working hard to prove how perfect Alex Pretti was. To show he didn't "deserve" to be killed. But it's a trap folks. You're only feeding into a dynamic where people who are considered lesser get no protection. You don't have to be an Alex Pretti to deserve to live.

I'm not sure Democrats in D.C. are aware that their base's rage against ICE has reached a level of blinding white-hot intensity.

They're worried about "looking weak" for voting "against law enforcement" when they should be worried a mob of housewives is going to come beat them to death if they do.

I have read them and my point stands. Not least because his words all come down to us by other people, not himself.

Again, the teachings of Christ are open to interpretation.Always have been, which is one reason it's easy for Christianity to be full of bad people. The Bible is FULL of, as mentioned, contradictory teachings that can't be reconciled, including Christ's claimed teachings.

Christians being bad people predates MAGA. You do NOT have to be a good person to be Christian. There is no single ideology which dictates being a Christian. Even the Bible presents contradictory, irreconcilable views of Christ that are often incompatible with being morally good.

No, they're Christian. Defaulting to the No True Scotsman fallacy only distorts the FACT that Christians are 100% as capable of being bad people as followers of any other religion.

ICE agents ate at a Minnesota Mexican restaurant before arresting staff Immigration law enforcement agents reportedly followed employees out of the restaurant after they closed for the evening

A few days ago, Fox News was whining about ICE agents getting heckled at a Mexican restaurant in Minneapolis.

Meanwhile, in the town of Willmar, ICE agents had lunch at a Mexican restaurant, waited until it closed, then confronted and arrested three workers as they left.
