"A bunch of people would rather post on Race War Now Dot Swastika rather than Bluesky because you keep making fun of their imaginary computer friend" is a RESOUNDING endorsement for the concept of hostility.

Video of an ICE agent pulling a gun on a wife and mother, who is a US citizen born and raised in the area, near Bailey's Crossroads in Northern Virginia yesterday. Chillingly, they claimed she “almost ran them over” until she told them she had video proving that was a lie.

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

It's low on the scale of damages done, but I'm curious if there's any blowback from rental car companies or insurance agencies about ICE's tendency to turn our streets into demolition derbies. Has any company refused to give them cars? Have the victims been able to get repairs paid for?

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

This story is terrific. A woman infiltrated a racist dating site, used chatbots to get info from horny incels, and then leaked it all. What are the odds one of the accounts on WhiteDate belongs to a White House staffer?

Yesterday I wrote my MP urging Canada to stop sharing any intelligence information with the US, as their actions indicate they are a security threat to our country. I urged discussing with other members to kick them out of Five Eyes. Now I'm really, really glad I sent it.

More indoor cat deaths from H5N1 linked to raw poultry diets. Cats from 2 separate households in Oregon euthanized bc of severe H5N1 infection. Virus found in the cats' diets, and then in unopened packages from retail. Solid link to the diet. 1/n

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!

Okay what is going on here. Are the accounts at a private banking entity? Does the federal government have direct debit permission set up? So many questions as to how Treasury instructed this payment. (Via NY Post’s Craig McCarthy)
