The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

Chris Jackson doesn’t use this app as much but threw this over on Twitter a bit ago. Bit of a sizable difference here when you look at the timeframe.

He sourced the data from ACLED (Armed Conflict Location & Event Data).

[…federal data shows that over 70% of detainees who were being held as of last month by Immigration and Customs Enforcement nationally had no criminal convictions.]

Jacob Soboroff @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social · 16h

The government’s own data and detentions like the ones we reported on in Chicago raise serious doubt about whether the Trump administration’s mission is to target “the worst of the worst” at all. New reporting from @msnbc.com. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

Trump says migrants drive violent crime in Illinois. But ICE can’t find many violent criminals.

Masked ICE agents and other federal forces showed up in Chicago to go after gangsters. Instead, they keep catching people who are just living their lives.

It’s been years since I fully trusted nyt reviews- and I rarely trust one outlet, and reading several means joy.

Roger Ebert passed in 2013, yet I find his legacy on how to approach review/critique in an elevated manner still lives on in current reviews.

Sometimes, we should be made uncomfortable. And that is, in the end, what “After the Hunt” attempts and mostly succeeds in.
