Again, the vaulted American Century lasted exactly one generation and none of the inheritors of it felt bothered to continue it if it required any work or not having something they wanted
for no reason, thinking about the passage in Gravity's Rainbow where the Dutch trying to settle Mauritius drive the dodo to extinction

Well if he was sensitive because of a past incident then PERHAPS he should have been put on LEAVE to get MENTAL HELP and thoroughly EVALUATED prior to releasing him back to work where they handed him a gun and let him deal with his fears by shooting an innocent woman.

Rep. Randy Fine: "If you impede the actions of our law enforcement as they seek to repel foreign invaders from our country, you get what's coming to you. I do not feel bad for the woman that was involved."

Weird how when Democrats do the thing Republicans are so good at - screaming in unison immediately across all media until their narrative dominates - it actually works. Oust Schumer, Jeffries, and every other motherfucker who doesn’t get on board. It shouldn’t have taken this many travesties.
There's honestly been some pretty good news coverage tonight on TV regarding today's events. It's not a coincidence.

Like half a dozen prominent Democrats finally came out this afternoon and said ICE is terrorist trash led by a secretary who should be impeached and it flipped the whole narrative.

Dems: get up out of your fucking defensive crouch and fight back, it still makes a difference in the coverage

as I was saying earlier today, if all you can really do is yell, the quality of the yelling has to be better

it was today, and it’s helped

keep calling these people what they are

The ICE agent who shot Renee Good three times in the face should have no problem turning himself in. If his actions were appropriate, he should welcome the chance to prove it in a court of law.

Abolishing ICE is the bare minimum.

We need to dismantle DHS. We need restitution. And we need trials.

If the officer was taught to reach in a car window and execute its unarmed driver while they are attempting to drive away, their training is flawed.

And we all just have to keep clocking in, keep paying the bills, keep paying our taxes, keep checking our credit scores, keep marching along funding the machinations of a fascist state just to keep the lights on 🙃

look, I may not agree with every decision our president makes, but he is our commander in chief and I will defend to the death his right to be impeached, removed from office, arrested, stripped of his wealth, tried for his crimes and thrown straight the fuck into prison

For some people there is literally no social problem or controversy that couldn’t be fixed if only women would sacrifice their freedom, dreams, and independence.

One of the many reasons "Abolish ICE" has been a popular refrain on the left — besides the fact that borders and border security means violence — is that ICE and CBP were always going to be the agencies that would become the SS.

Nothing makes me embarrassed to work in my industry more than watching drug commercials. The person who came up with the brand name Bimzelx should quit their job, move to the woods, and never speak to another person as long as they live.
