It makes you sound crazy to say this out loud, but it's becoming increasingly clear that the United States government has been effectively toppled by a group of overt pedophiles
Barely a few hours after President Donald Trump named him as the next nominee to chair the Federal Reserve, Kevin Warsh was revealed to be in the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case files.

This is embarrassing but I did cry in the Pose series finale when the choir sang The Man I Love… despite Ricky’s earlier joke about white boys singing show tunes… I was just weeping in my living room blubbering out “they’re singing Cole Porter”

Was remembering the poems I used to write, a kind of creative puzzling I don’t do anymore, and caught myself thinking “I used to be somebody” in the tone of “I could have been somebody. I could have been a contender” and had to tell myself to chill out

w.b. yeats died on this day in 1939. if, instead of dying, he had begun to age again but in reverse, he would have reached his birth - i.e. become 0 years old - in 2012. Assuming that he then began ageing in the normal direction again, he would currently be 14 years old and preparing for his gcses

Even taking this at face value, there is no way to turn current ICE & CBP into "immigration enforcement that is lawful, reasonable, and effective." You can't "commonsense reform" an agency full of people who gladly masked up to murder people, kidnap children, teargas daycares, and invade consulates.
As support to dismantle ICE/CBP becomes the clear majority position - Schumer’s surrender Dems are listening to milquetoast “reform” messaging - and it is coming from John Fetterman’s former chief of staff.

Very little if anything seems to have changed on the ground. ICE is still out there terrorizing neighborhoods and trying to disappear neighbors. None of us on the ground are buying this bullshit. We will keep organizing and fighting.
The intense fallout from the killing of Alex Pretti has forced President Trump to publicly change course in Minneapolis.
Listen to our White House reporters discuss the changes on today's episode of "The Daily."

I do love this show though. It’ll always remind me of yearbook class in high school — we used to marathon these while working near deadline. Also these early episodes are such an amazing time capsule
Watching a season 3 episode of Say Yes To The Dress (filmed in 2008). Randy just said “Everyone has a budget. Even Donald Trump has a budget!” Should count as a jump scare I hate being reminded how long that man’s been around in the public consciousness

“This is not what we voted for.”

Getting fired by Trump 2 is crazy. In Trump 1 we were getting people fired every other week for like mildly embarrassing him. In Trump 2 you’ve got official government accounts tweeting out “I’m da Nazi pedo baybee 😈” and nobody gets canned. Bovino really fucked it crazy style

Two people died before this happened. Two people who are never going home to their families, entire communities devastated and missing them. And these ICE agents moving like rats into the wall to keep killing people elsewhere, while others remain to kill more people in Minneapolis
BREAKING: Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino and some agents are expected to leave Minneapolis tomorrow, an AP source says.

Younger generations “have fallen out of love with Harry Potter because they have fallen out of love with the worldview the series represents,” writes Louise Perry. “Which is to say that young people have fallen out of love with liberalism.”
