Look, maybe not *all* ICE and CBP agents are bloodthirsty psychopaths, but there are plenty of stories like this one and the rest of them sure as shit don't seem to mind, so ...

CBP agents knocked on an El Paso home at 7:15 a.m.

The owner asked to secure his Rottweiler, Chop, in the bathroom.

While he got his ID, agents opened the door and shot Chop.

The family tried to save him as he bled out on the kitchen floor.

Too many notes to fit in a microblog post, so here you go. Flash flood emergency earlier outside Phoenix, wettest day in PHX since 2018 and top 20 all-time, and tides high in Jersey but falling short of forecast so far in Atlantic City at least; higher in Cape May.

Pope Leo quotes Hannah Arendt:

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist."

it’s very jarring to run up against someone who has killed their capacity to feel shame. how do you even proceed? what can you actually say to a sally jenkins, a caitlin flanagan, that will get them to start acting like a person who knows that lying is bad

And what the fuck is the “alt-left”!?

A very curious invention of phrase in order to distance oneself from the reckoning monster of justice at the door.

Yes, you are going to regret this.

“Israel has none of the culpability of its constituents“ is certainly a fucking take; and a rather transparent attempt to try and wash the blood off of collective hands considering the recent ceasefire is making certain people very telegraphic in their guilt.

Had dinner tonight with a friend who’s a middle school teacher in the southwest. They told me schools now have trainings for when ICE agents sweep through schools to take children, and it’s worse than active shooter trainings, because it’s the government kidnapping children.

This is where we are.

Due to Tennessee’s abortion ban, Mayron Hollis was forced to continue a pregnancy that threatened her life. An emergency delivery left her without a uterus and her baby with medical issues.

This was their first year in a post-Roe state (pub. Feb. 2024):

She Was Denied an Abortion After Roe Fell. This Is a Year in Her Family’s Life.

Tennessee law prohibits women from having abortions in nearly all circumstances. But once the babies are here, the state provides little help. We followed one family as they struggled to make it.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

The employees "were sent incorrect
