Yeah…the cartels are almost certainly using and working with ICE and others on the border.

Really waiting for a brave soul in DHS to blow the whistle on *exactly* who is working up these too-convenient, obviously fake intel assessments.

Seriously, the one remaining constant in the US-narcocartel strategic balance is "don't kill US cops, remember how bad they fucked us up for Kiki"

Cartels issuing bounties up to $50,000 for hits on ICE, CBP agents: DHS

Drug cartels have "disseminated a structured bounty program to incentivize violence against federal personnel," according to a press release from DHS.

Why would cartels kill partners, collaborators, and customers?

Emmer: "We call it the 'Hate America' rally because you'll see the hate for America all over this thing when they show up. The rumor is that they can't end this shutdown because this small but very violent and vocal group is the only one that's happy about this."

My hot take is that if you refuse to vaccinate your children, that should be counted as extreme child abuse and your kids should be taken from you.

150+ unvaccinated kids in two schools? What the fuck are we doing here??

Exactly. They’re not so far ahead we can’t catch back up. But we are severely behind due to our elites being really, really stupid.

You have a valid point, but China is showing all the signs of their growth being legitimate. Couple it with what the US has done under Trump and china’s in a position where it’s kind of hard for the to not become the economic superpower.

If the UI isn’t designed/deceloped for accessibility, then the UI is at fault 100% of the time.

What I’ve found is the reported number of disabilities is drastically below what’s actually out there. Minor inconveniences tha don’t get diagnosed could be mountains on a website.

Hell, layouts need to have mental health considerations (ADHD brains can fly off a site if it’s confusing).

🧵TL;DR Accessible Design = Good Design

I keep seeing this image all over LinkedIn and UI/UX forums, debating “stupid users” vs. intuitive design… etc. etc.

But what about accessibility?

Bottom is labeled “User:” showing a man blowing into the top of the tea pot so tea flows into the cup, rather than pouring it with his hands.

Pretty sure I say this every Columbus Day, but getting hauled back to Spain for excessive brutality in 1500, just as the Inquisition was really getting fired up, is some genuinely Evil Guys Hall of Infamy material

Either they’re an op or their brain is fried to the point you can’t tell, so effectively they’re still an op.

"To be a Republican in 2025 represents a clear public confession that you either don't know the difference between good and evil and you're so morally empty that you can't be bothered to begin to try, or that you do know the difference, and you prefer evil." www.the-reframe.com/the-crime-of...

The Crime of Human Virtue

Sometimes it really is as simple as good vs. evil. This is one of those times. Human virtue is our great crime against the fascist project; it's also our great weapon against it.

We did serve as inspiration for some policies, but for the whole movement? No. German history is rife with everything that resulted in Nazi Germany. They didn’t need America for what they did.

This is a grown adult with a professional job at a professional institution reacting to criticism like a teenager.

And that’s because most of the media elite have the maturity and mentality of a teenager. They’ve never matured.
