Reminder about "They're here ILLEGALLY"
Being undocumented is a civil offense, not a criminal one. That's why they're not entitled to a court-appointed lawyer, why it's "civil detention" not a jail, why it's not in the criminal code, etc. Other civil infractions are things like parking tickets.
Democrat Taylor Rehmet won a Texas State Senate special election with 57.2 percent of the vote, defeating Republican Lee Wambsganss. The district was traditionally Republican, and the GOP candidate was publicly backed by Donald Trump. #Texas

Any media member/outlet silent about this attack on the first amendment should hang up their pen and go do something else
Agitator and, perhaps, insurrectionist, Alex Pretti's stock has gone way down with the just released video of him screaming and spitting in the face of a very calm and under control ICE Officer, and then crazily kicking in a new and very expensive government vehicle, so hard and violent, in fact, that the taillight broke off in pieces. It was quite a display of abuse and anger, for all to see, crazed and out of control. The ICE Officer was calm and cool, not an easy thing to be under those circumstances! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN

If you haven't heard, he gifted his entire catalog to Greenland for free. He says he hopes it will "ease some of the unwarranted stress…you are experiencing from our unpopular and hopefully temporary government,”
This weekend, I dissociated from our political horror show by watching a livestream of a man risking his life by climbing a skyscraper. What stage of dystopia is this?

This ad about how great Google Gemini is ends by telling us how Ted, the protagonist and a big James Blunt fan, “found something he didn’t even know he was looking for” at a James Blunt concert where James Blunt is playing not “High” by James Blunt but “She’s So High” by Tal Bachman.
Year 30 (?) of going back to school and doing it after a sabbatical is giving me the sads
