Trying to stay informed without losing my mind. Tell all of your dogs I said hi.

ICE needed a “conservative influencer” to tell them Canal St is full of knock off vendors and has been for 30+years? Great job ICE Clouseaux. When are you going to arrest the regime associated child traffickers?
What political violence at Mo Kings?
What political violence at No Kings?
I fully agree with those pointing out how inappropriate it was for the incompetent Halligan to initiate this exchange. What I can’t figure out is why she’s bitching to a reporter who DIDN’T WRITE THE ARTICLE SHE’S PISSED ABOUT!
Can we do this to convicted domestic abusers before we go after our 420 brothers and sisters?
WHY for the love of everything was there no follow up?!?! “What evidence have you provided to prove that these boats were running drugs?” I didn’t even go to J school and that seems liked a pretty obvi question.
WTF is the point of the Sunday morning shows?! No one EVER pushes back in a meaningful way - they just let these awful people vomit lies all over the place. Maybe they’ll have a lame rebuttal in a separate segment but in general it’s all just bullshit from both sides.
The NYT repeatedly referenced “thousands” of protesters in their article today. Not tens or hundreds of thousands (which is objectively true), just thousands. Just garbage cowardly “reporting.”

Well that sounds classified, top secret and totally secure. This country is a fucking clown show.
Imagine how this guy would act if he was on the other side of this interaction.
As a GenXer who had that experience with Raul Julia - I see this as an appropriate and oh so *swoon* progression.
It almost doesn't matter whether it was accidental or on purpose. The chaos and kangaroo court of it all are the outcome. So mission accomplished.
I read an interesting post last week that soybeans could go the way of post-Civil War cotton. Southern states were convinced European markets would come back to US cotton. They had already subsidized Egypt. We never recovered that market share.
Judge Karin Immergut, appointed by #FOTUS, is a woman. Nothing in that statement he made is true. Nothing.
Tried to view this via insta and it’s blocked.
Well done Chicago!
All I can say is WOW.
Community spirit.
This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

This is an unprovoked assault. These people are not soldiers, they are not law enforcement officers, they are not in Portland to protect anyone. They are lawless, cosplaying thugs and I hope like hell they’re eventually held responsible.
Federal officer blasts chemical spray into vocal but nonviolent Portland protester, video shows

The interaction illustrates how federal law enforcement officers do use aggressive tactics against protesters who yell and needle officers but don’t appear to present clear physical threats.
"An 1866 law enshrined a tradition..." Tradition? Turkey on Thanksgiving is a tradition. A law is a law. Just garbage phrasing and worse positioning.
They look like they got those "uniforms" at the bottom of a Goodwill "Last Chance!" bin. #GIJoke

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

this thread started here and landed with a history lesson about egyptian cotton. a literal "today i learned."
US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better."

Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better.

Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand.

We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

Trump just called American citizens “the enemy within,” encouraging the men and women of the armed forces to use OUR cities as military training grounds.

It’s time to wake up, put aside our differences, and create a united front to oppose Trump’s unconstitutional and illegal abuse of power.
