Maryland asks judge to force ICE to share records related to crowded facility Attorney General Anthony Brown has launched a civil rights probe into allegations that a holding facility in Baltimore is overcrowded, dangerous and unsanitary.

Maryland’s attorney general alleged that conditions at a federal immigration facility in Baltimore are dangerous and unsanitary, with dozens of people crammed into a single, cold cement room for days with no bedding, no showers and one toilet.

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

You can tell things are going well in America because accounts with names like MovieTVFunZone are posting things like, "THE PIGS ARE KIDNAPPING CHILDREN AND PRIESTS. THE TREE OF LIBERTY DEMANDS TO BE WATERED"

Most countries would give an arm and a leg to have a neighbour as friendly and cooperative as Canada. Completely absurd for the U.S to pick a fight with them. For no reason at all.

The absolute accuracy of this.

Expedition 33 is kinda weird in that your characters are constantly running around splattered with gore as they hang out with the cast of Jim Henson’s Labyrinth.

I could do it a lot easier with Trump on his head.

depressing but this increasingly just the lesson for every single servant and every aspect of american life

the virgin luke: erm, actually - i heard all of this from *very* reliable sources, so it must be true

the chad matthew: i know about the secret dreams of several people and private palace politics of 80 years ago because this is how it happened.

Jesus, can you hear me? Good, the comms are working. Now, you're gonna need to run if you want to evade those Roman soldiers. Hold down A to sprint. Go ahead and try it. ... Good work! You just might be the savior yet. Now pick up that AR-15 and let's do some target practice.

InRange is opposed to sex trafficking, pedophilia, rape and infanticide. This is a sadly controversial stance to take in the current American "gun community".

reddit post from a presumably young person who watched sex and the city and couldn’t get over how much people smoked indoors. “wouldn’t everything smell bad?” they asked

this is a good reminder of how things that are shitty but have been accepted as normal and inevitable can actually turn out to be abnormal and evitable with some science, time, education and political will

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

Are Federal Transit Grants Hurting, Not Helping, Public Transportation? | Strong Towns Three case studies reveal how top-down funding creates rigidity, waste, and systems that cities cannot afford to fix or abandon.

This ridiculous new post by Strong Towns correctly identifies a problem - we build too many failing transit capital projects - and completely misses the mark with its proposed solutions - stopping federal funding for them and instead making projects small and phased.

🚨 BREAKING: Oversight Dems received 95,000 new photos from Jeffrey Epstein's estate. These disturbing images raise even more questions about Epstein and his relationships with some of the most powerful men in the world.

The soldiers in Stargate are shockingly chill about a bunch of bronze age teenagers taking their guns.

When Snake Pliskin freaks out it's just because he's "unreasonably" traumatized by his kid dying playing with his sidearm.

Wild movie.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

With his new comedy show and debut novel, is it time to let Louis C.K. force women to watch him masturbate again?

Pentagon Pete in Legal Peril Over ‘Kill Them All’ Orders A follow-up missile allegedly killed survivors of a U.S. strike on a drug boat.

How low we have sunk as a country. The US Department of Defense is now run by a rabid war criminal.

Ordering the execution of helpless survivors of an attack is ALWAYS a war crime, whether they civilian or military.

Pure, mindless, barbarism.

So it’s family movie night and we’re near the end of Fantastic 4 and one of the characters appears to die and I’m all ready to be soothing and comforting like a good parent and that’s when the seven year old shouts “I GUESS NOW THEY’RE THE FANTASTIC THREE!”
