A house painter once said to me that H. sapiens is the only species on the planet that does not have a purpose. We get to choose.
Let's find our purpose by working with, not against, nature.

ICE and CBP agents are out of control and put everyone in danger.
We're calling for ICE agents to withdraw from Minneapolis, and for Congress to rein in ICE’s abuses in our communities.

May Noem and all her devolved knuckle-dragging compatriots soon become inescapably acquainted with the Karma Police.
an administration staffed to the top with degenerate liars
Noem lies shamelessly: "An individual approached order Patrol officers with a 9mm semi-automatic gun. The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently. This looks like a situation where an individual arrived to inflict maximum damage and kill law enforcement"

I don’t know where you folks get your weather from, but I use Rafael Cruz’s radar. Here he is fleeing Texas again for Laguna Beach, which means we’re officially at a CRUZ LEVEL 5 WARNING. 🚨

#SCOTUS is likely to do the right thing in the Lisa Cook case.
But it's worth bearing in mind that this idea that the Fed is some bespoke exception to the unitary executive theory is utterly incoherent as a matter of both law and history—and is really just proof that the UET is itself bollocks:

A constitutional principle like the "unitary executive theory" isn't worth all that much if the Supreme Court can conjure new, unprincipled exceptions to it by simply asserting that they exist.

There are likely fewer than 200 adult #Florida panthers left in the wild.
To protect them from a massive new development in their occupied breeding habitat, conservation groups just notified Fish & Wildlife Service and others of their intent to file suit in federal court.

Students at Central Valley High School walked out of class today to protest recent actions by ICE under the Trump Administration.
This precinct voted 54% favor of Donald Trump in the 2024 general election. A nearby precinct in the school district voted 61% in favor of Trump in the last election.

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland.
And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.
