Look at this hiring ad for ICE. Imagine what kind of goons this will appeal to.

You have a “compound”?

I sympathize completely but I’ve been praying for a Porsche for about a month now and I still don’t see one in my driveway. What’s going on?

That’s like saying Hitler wasn’t a dictator because he was elected.

This is the best political news I’ve seen in a very long time — so please pass it on👇

“We found over 35 cases in which the judges have specifically said what the government is providing…false information. It might be intentionally false information, including false sworn declarations time and again," says Ryan Goodman, law professor at New York University.

So the other day, Ukrainian forces killed a Russian special forces unit and captured their gear.
Rifle is an AK105.
—"Sureshot Armament Group SS19;
— Thermal sight Infratech IT-615;
— Handguard Sureshot Armament Group MK1;
— Laser designator SOT ASPID-M;
— Muzzle brake StalkerDTK T5;"

A group of Russian saboteurs was destroyed.

In the territories of Kharkiv, Sumy, and Chernihiv regions, a group from the 3rd Directorate of the Special Purpose Center "SENEZH" was conducting terrorist raids.

But soon the Russian breakthrough attempt received a harsh response: fighters of the DPSU special unit "DOZOR" and the 105th Territorial Defense Brigade, together with other units, crushed the enemy group and eliminated its commander.

Enemy losses amounted to: six killed and eight wounded.

Some call signs of the Russian special forces have been identified: Teacher (commander), Jambul, Varus, Griga, Voron, Harley, Filin, Armen, Fakir, Hacker, Henry, Khrust.

Reference: The Special Purpose Center "Senezh", military unit 92154 of the Russian Armed Forces, is a military unit that trains servicemen for the Russian Special Operations Forces. It is subordinate to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

Just want to thank everyone again, who is out there protesting today!

There are many of us that are too disabled or too sick to be there with you (physically or virtually), and your presence out there means a lot to me.

Please keep each other safe, well-fed, and hydrated!

But I hope you’re right. The markets are being propped up by AI and all of us retirees are going to get the shaft if/when it tanks.

Sorry Ryan. This situation smells exactly like the dot com bubble. Tons of money spent and not a whole helluva lot to show for it.

Yes boys and girls. He really is that dumb.

Tom Recane @trecane.bsky.social · 1d

Sorry but to be clear I have acknowledged nothing except the toxicity of these kinds of arguments. We need them like a hole drilled in our heads. I therefore resign from the competition. The field, such as it is, is yours.

They choose to be. We’re now getting perilously close to the kind of dispute that will warm the shriveled heart of Stephen Miller and his ilk. You win.

I’m not sure what else you expect it to be. They’re conservatives. They’re former Republicans. Look at a crowd of conservative Republicans. How many POC do you see?

Dude I want to party with you…

Seriously. MTG is complaining about the cost of health insurance and she hates Trump’s stalling on the Epstein files. Work with it.

Sarah Longwell - Lesbian
Tim Miller - Gay
Does that make them inclusive enough?
Former Republicans know how to beat democrats and they still have connections in the GOP. Listen to them.
