It’s just rounding people up and grabbing people brown people* off the streets with little to no oversight.

Oh I think we’re talking levels of “very concerned” here.

They are SO goddamn dumb. His supporters I mean.

The first time the group erected the statue, they had obtained a DOI permit. A DOI spokesperson told The Daily Beast that the statue was not compliant with the permit, though a copy of the permit they gave the Daily Beast did not demonstrate how the statue was not compliant.

The document also revealed the DOI was required to give The Secret Handshake 24 hours notice before they took the statue down. However there was no notice given before they smashed the statue to bits.

Laws for thee.

Secretary Shitface:

anything besides the usual would be nice

Well yeah, that’s what the various agencies paid him for. They knew he was trafficking humans.

A majority of trump voters are goddamned fucking idiots.

I’d say almost everyone here has a clue what is going on and everyone here is really unhappy about it.

That said, I’d probably say “yeah I dunno” to a pollster.

True. Okay SCROTUS, time to lick boots again.

Flock Safety, the police technology company most notable for their extensive network of automated license plate readers spread throughout the United States, is rolling out a new and troubling product that may create headaches for the cities that adopt it: detection of “human distress” via audio. As part of their suite of technologies, Flock has been pushing Raven, their version of acoustic gunshot detection. These devices capture sounds in public places and use machine learning to try to identify gunshots and then alert police—but EFF has long warned that they are also high powered microphones parked above densely-populated city streets. Cities now have one more reason to follow the lead of many other municipalities and cancel their Flock contracts, before this new feature causes civil liberties harms to residents and headaches for cities.

The Energy Department said on Wednesday night that it would cancel more than $7.5 billion in Biden-era awards for hundreds of energy projects, with the vast majority located in states led by Democrats.

The move underscored how the Trump administration appeared to be using the government shutdown as a pretext to punish its political opponents. President Trump said this week that if Democrats in Congress did not vote for a funding bill to keep the government open, he would “do things during the shutdown that are irreversible, that are bad for them.”

In its Wednesday announcement, the Energy Department did not specify which projects would see their funding terminated. But according to an agency document reviewed by The New York Times, the list of affected projects include major upgrades to electrical grids in California, Minnesota and Oregon; efforts to reduce methane leaks from oil and gas operations in Colorado; and large hubs to produce clean-burning hydrogen fuels in California and the Pacific Northwest.

The vast majority of the 321 canceled awards would have gone toward projects in those states as well as Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Mexico, New York and Washington, the document showed. Those states all have Democratic governors and senators.

In a news release, the Energy Department said it had determined that the projects “did not adequately advance the nation’s energy needs, were not economically viable, and would not provide a positive return on investment of taxpayer dollars.”

Putin, Xi, and trump.

No wonder fucker’s always high out of his mind. He gonna get defenestrated by one of 'em or the people they oppress.

Of course he was forced out. And don’t call me Shirley.

Four U.S. officials involved in the lavish royal visit were unaware that the library director had left his job, and said the White House played no role in his exit.

Sure.

Yeah “trump” revives it.

Quite an editorial about-face for Jacobin isn’t it.

“Basically, he’s saying that we’re no better than Hamas because people are joining because they want to break things and they want to kill people,” she said. “I mean, for anyone that’s been in the military, he’s not qualified to be secretary of defense. He’s barely qualified to be a host on Fox News.

“But to say these things in front of the preeminent generals and admirals leading our military? Has he no honor, to say that we don’t belong in polite society? Maybe he doesn’t.”

He’s barely qualified to be a host on Fox News. 🔥

Well, sure, but remember that Harris was so terribly transphobic many people just plain didn’t vote at all! Which is obviously the Democrats’ fault for running such a terribly transphobic candidate.

And yes, this option that we have here, this - ban transgender federal funds, make trans people terrorists - was the only other choice available. But that still means it’s the Democrats’ fault because otherwise you’d have to blame people who didn’t do the one most important thing they could to prevent this and obviously we can’t blame them.

Look, we’ll call it even and should we somehow make it to the midterms next year we’ll all decide to protest by not voting again. Then the Democrats will really start paying attention to us! Pretty soon after that, bang-zoom! Workers will seize the means of production and . . do something with chains. Ride bikes maybe? Anyway, sounds fun.

Know a lot about marriage in 1942? Or Eleanor Roosevelt?
