It takes that many of these weaklings to have the courage to attack kids.

Surely Florida Repubs can find a politician who hasn’t been caught in some sex scandal yet.

Pretty sure the legal situation requires him to show IL is dealing with the protests. I don’t know enough to tell if he’s going too far with that. I hope not.

All Republicans support shooting people in the head with chemical weapons. On Sunday their preachers explain that it's what Jesus would do.

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

I've been reading The Director by Daniel Kehlmann. There's a sub-theme of what a terrible director Riefenstahl was.

When the reckoning comes, they will plead for the mercy they did now show and claim as their right the process they denied to others. We must have the courage and resolve to mete out to them the justice they have incurred.

This is the response I received from ICE when I inquired about the 13-year-old they abducted from Everett, Mass. on Friday:

Good afternoon, Marisa.
Please see the below from DHS on the 13-year-old alien.
Please feel free to direct any questions to them.
Respectfully,
James

He is 13. A 7th grader w/ a pending asylum case. Being held more than 500 miles from home & housed w/ adults. He called his mom crying, & reported that he’s sleeping on concrete w/ an aluminum blanket.

How is this anything other than sick & shameful? www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/12/m...

Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then deploy teargas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to express their concern.

I'd love to hear about the conservative take on Pride and Prejudice.

As an example, do we think Kavanaugh knows people call it a Kavanaugh Stop when ICE thugs drag kids out of their beds, separate them from their parents, and zip-tie them for a couple of hours?

There are several decisions signed by all six that suggest otherwise. There is public behavior like Alito's flags and Thomas' wife's behavior.

Ed Walker @edwalker.bsky.social · 1d

The power of SCOTUS lies in broad public respect for their decisions. Centrists law profs and others defend the Six MAGAs by saying they're afraid Trump won't obey their orders. If SCOTUS had the firm support of a majority that wouldn't matter. But Roberts et al. squandered that long ago.

This is precisely why we should dump all billionaire media. They use our money to amplify right-wing discourse.

Dave Johnson @dcjohnson.bsky.social · 1d

The things people "know" tend to be things talked about in various media.

What's talked about on various media is largely what "conservatives" want talked about.

Crime. Immigration. Stuff that makes people conservative.

In fairness, he claims to have a prescription for all his drugs. Ketamine is great for boils and chilblains.

Someone left a rack full of inflatable costumes near the ICE building in Portland.

I love this town.

This is a wonderful thread that explains how & why Portland is Like This.

Feds deploy tear gas in another Chicago neighborhood: 'We chased federal agents out of Albany Park today'

A federal judge’s temporary restraining order requires federal agents to issue two warnings before using riot control weapons such as tear gas. Witnesses says they didn't get any warning.

It’s impossible to overstate how much “abolish ice” is the normie position now here in chicago — just countless random moms at toddler soccer on a park district field asking me where I bought my anti-ice t-shirt. average people don’t like our neighborhoods being terrorized.

A friend ran the Chicago marathon today and said he couldn’t count the number of FUCK ICE signs along the way.
