Lecturing active soldiers about being too fat while dropping standards so low for the ICE deportation force that a third of their recruits can't handle the easiest PT test I've ever heard of www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

More than a third have failed so far, four officials told me, impeding the agency’s plan to hire, train, and deploy 10,000 deportation officers by January. To pass, recruits must do 15 push-ups and 32 sit-ups, and run 1.5 miles in 14 minutes.
“It’s pathetic,” one career ICE official told me, adding that before now, a typical class of 40 recruits had only a couple of candidates fail, because the screening process was more rigorous.

A little known secret to writing a memorable comic book, one that will be revered and discussed decades after publication, is to make sure you put the word “Saga” at the end of your story title.

I guess I just feel like it should be a bigger deal that Penske Media owns the Golden Globes and ALSO Rolling Stone, Variety, Hollywood Reporter, Indiewire, GoldDerby, and Deadline, plus 20% of Vox Media

You gotta just block these accounts without interacting. They're doing this the night before No Kings so they can selectively grab quote posts and replies about how nasty people are being. It's extremely transparent. Just block and move on.

Yes, it does look like the government accounts joining Bluesky are real, including Homeland Security and the White House. They're tweeting about it on X.

Also, they want to make content. And that means they are going to take the worst stuff people say in response to them (this being the internet, some of which might be quite bad) and splash it across the official comms organs of every major federal law enforcement agency. So take that into mind.

The reason they're coming after this place is because they can't control the people on it and it drives them nuts.

Unreal stuff from the guy who is unflinchingly loyal to the Insurrectionist-in-Chief - you know, the President who pardoned the January 6 insurrectionists and wants to mandate “Ashli Babbitt: Blood Martyr” as a new national mythos.

I know we're not surprised - but let us not forget to be shocked.

Mike Johnson: "They berated a Capitol police officer, screamed at him. He was merely standing his post. It shows, again, their disdain for law enforcement, the Democrats, screaming, assaulting officers."

This is terrorism. Abolition of ICE and DHS is not enough.

A trio of cowardly, pathetic ICE agents hold a terrified man at gunpoint. The BORTAC patch, by the way, means Border Patrol Technical Unit.

Worthless lumps (ICE agents) pin down an unarmed, young Black man.

I frequently say you don't need to protest. You don't! There are a thousand other ways to push back on fascism if protesting doesn't feel comfortable or safe for you!

But if you CAN go, this 10/18 #NoKings thing is really a key protest to participate in. Be part of it, friends.

Remember that all of this is in defense of a detention center where people are being held in horrible conditions after being kidnapped off the street for no reason.

Again today, local police outside Broadview just aggressively arrested more protesters. Tough to tell exactly how many, but looks like 3-4 people were just detained.

Here's a neat trick they teach in authoritarianism school: If you purge the people who measure the effects of your policies (BLS, MMWR), you can just claim everything's great, and nobody can prove how much damage you're doing.
