Lmao WaPo has fewer than 100K circulation now. It turns out “alienate your liberal subscriber base” is not a good strategy when the Republicans also hate you. www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...

i like Platner too but just a quick reminder that Janet Mills is the governor who yelled "I'll see you in court" at Trump to his face over the trans sports executive order, so if you wanna trash her please be sure you're sending the signals you intended to send.

The ongoing ICE raids in cities like Chicago have reminded of slave catchers kidnapping Black people in free states to bring them back to slave states. This illuminating video from Sarah Taber situates the raids as part of a larger rightwing attack on free labor.

ICE is all over the city and burbs today, including Waukegan. Multiple reports on social media from people who have found empty work vans and are trying to locate family of their owners. This is a near daily occurrence now.

Rocky Marciano. 49-0 and he killed a guy in the ring.

I mean he's an American/ English-speaking politician, and white folks like the Polish have way harder to pronounced and spell names...it's not like Gaddafi (or Khadafi or Qaddafi) because it's transferred from Arabic so the sound vs the alphabet characters is fluid.

It’s worth noting that when he decided to speak out about his unconstitutional ICE detainment, DHS accused him of assault.

They lie.

They blame the victims.

George did nothing wrong. He was just trying to get to work and was hit with chemical munitions and detained for three days.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

The article in response to this article is already being written as if this was some major viral moment...the Atlantic loves to do this shit because they have the inferiority complex to the WaPo NYT WSJ, etc.

No exaggeration JD Vance has like never answered a direct question in an interview.
Reporter: the sky is blue, correct?
JD: Look, we can play this games all day but let's talk about the real issues...Democrats are forcing tampons on boys locker rooms.

The last time "he" grilled a burger was his undocumented immigrant staff cooked him one and it was a big deal because it's normally McD's Fish Fillet sandwich or a hot dog. They were thrown off guard but he threatened to have them deported so they quickly made it for him.
