Immigration is an unfathomably evil invasion that threatens our nations security and our sovereignty and [blah blah fascist claptrap blah…]

-administration that demands to be taken seriously

There are definitely more people responsible for this than the one person who pulled a trigger, but he certainly is responsible for that. Being manipulated is not the same as being forced to do something.

A source familiar with the matter tells ABC News that two of those shot are state Sen. John Hoffman of Champlin and state Rep. Melissa Hortman of Brooklyn Park

Why these two? I did a search for recent news articles about them and nothing notable jumped out at me, but hitting two Democratic state lawmakers feels too coincidental to just be dumb spree killing.

I’ll bet, but feeling bad about it doesn’t change what they’re doing

What was the population in 2019? Don’t we need that to understand that deaths outpace population growth?

I’m pretty sure the experts and agencies they talked to in this article have numbers for 2019.

If the newer population number is an undercount, how do we know the first clause in the sentence is true?

Because the reasons for that undercounting haven’t changed between 2019 and 2023, so the degree of undercounting is probably about the same, so even if the census numbers are an estimate they are still generally comparable, at least enough to say that (for example) an estimated 10-15% growth in the population experiencing homelessness and (for example) a 200% growth in deaths are out of whack with each other.

What’s the weather looking like in DC today? Because I know these stubborn idiot fascists won’t let something like a little lightning stop their stupid little celebration of themselves, so this all could end up a really fucking stupid mass casualty event pretty easily.

Yep, in October 2024 Israel wanted to bomb nuclear and oil resources in Iran but Biden said no to that and that they needed to pick another target, so Israel blew up a military base and killed some Iranian soldiers instead

Hopefully they feel like they’re under a ton of pressure from all angles between everyone calling them out for being the fascist thugs they are and Trump constantly screaming at them for more deportations and it’s making them sloppy

Good question

Actually, I think NPR gets money from Amazon because they pay NPR for ad free versions of their shows for Prime subscribers, and Amazon just chooses to advertise that on their own

Of course, the fact that NPR is being paid by Amazon and Amazon customers get a premium version of public media is a total fucking disgrace, but NPR rightly or wrongly felt they had to do this because they’ve been expecting the federal government to try to cut them for years and they needed new revenue streams

It’d be just perfect if after all the bullshit he’s done Trump got impeached for asserting the US’s right to control its own foreign policy (or “critically undermining Israel’s right to defend itself” as they’d put it)

I’m pretty sure their real ambition is to destroy the Iranian government so they can more easily destroy any Iranians they decide aren’t friendly enough

I wonder if Denmark regrets this yet (arc)

With 94 votes in favor and only 11 against, the Danish parliament last night (June 11) passed a new defense agreement granting the United States extended access to military bases in three Danish cities: Karup, Skrydstrup, and Aalborg. The deal allows the US military to operate from these sites, store military equipment, conduct maintenance, exercises, and station personnel. The US forces will also have autonomous legal jurisdiction over their own military, relieving them from compliance with Danish law in the first degree.

Whenever a republican president wants to be reelected

Imagine how Garcia feels

SIMON SANDOVAL-MOSHENBERG: His head is spinning. I mean, he’s really surprised. He doesn’t understand what’s going on. He understood that his case was over and won in 2019, when the immigration judge issued him an order of protection and allowed him to be released from ICE custody. He got a work permit. He was renewing it year after year. He understood that his problems were behind him.

And then, all of a sudden, one day out of nowhere, he gets pulled over in his car, taken into custody, finds himself in El Salvador, the one country where the judge had ordered he could not be sent. Then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, he’s meeting with a U.S. senator. Then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, he’s being flown back to United States on a private jet and, you know, is being told that his name and his face are known around the world. You know, it’s almost like one of those movies where someone wakes up out of a coma.

MARY LOUISE KELLY, HOST: I was going to ask to what extent he is aware that he has become something of a household name in the U.S.

SANDOVAL-MOSHENBERG: Yeah, he didn’t have an understanding because he was held completely incommunicado in both of the prisons that he was in, in El Salvador. That is one of the principal human rights violations, is that there’s no access to legal counsel, not even a phone call. We sent a lawyer down three times to try to visit with him, and that lawyer was not allowed to visit with him. So he had no idea…

Comedy bit idea, CVS mass texts their customers to overthrow the government of Louisiana

“Sir, our men are trying to hold the line, but these protesters just won’t quit! They’re all so healthy!”

“Got-damned multivitamins! [eats beignet, has three heart attacks, belches]”

The first “expert organization” they talk to in this article published a “research study” last year saying DEI policies cause workplace hostility, this is propaganda bullshit

Yeah, apparently the plane crashed into the dining hall for a medical school, so a ton of potential first responders were likely among the injured. It’s kind of hard to imagine how this could have turned out any worse.
