There have been nine ICE shootings. There will be more. I think it may be time to consider these actions in the historical context of the Central American death squads supported by previous iterations of U.S. imperialism. And ICE's hostile incursion into "blue" cities as a form of imperialism, too.

Seconded.
Having to say 'thank you' to gimps who say 'bless you' when you sneeze is fucking tedious. Just fuck off and let me recover from my sneeze without making it about you, you absolute cunt.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

I think we need a new talk show.
Get trump voters, cabinet members, ice agents on there, let them share their views for five minutes.
Then the host simply nods and asks, "The fuck is wrong with you?"
Arsenio Hall or Wanda Sykes would be top choices for hosting.

I thoroughly recommend reading all of Cory Doctorow's recent speech on AI skepticism, it's crammed with new arguments and interesting new ways of thinking about these problems pluralistic.net/2025/12/05/p...

These are meaningful in creating a visible "culture of defiance," which in turn encourage further courageous acts of solidarity.
