This is what ICE has done to journalist Estefany Rodriguez.

For ICE to build concentration camps quickly, they're leaning on this Dept. of War program WEXMAC TITUS helps contractors bypass the traditionally lengthy government contract bidding process

NEW — An obscure Navy contractor program is making Trump’s plans to quickly build out and supply immigrant concentration camps around the country a reality.

Here I explain WEXMAC TITUS, an acronym you need to understand:

Just a cartoonishly cute Schnauzer with a fluffy haircut, sitting with grace, wearing the shit out of a blue bandanna. And like that isn’t enough, his tongue is sticking out a little. Yeah, I know.

Benny, fresh haircut. Unflappable. Ignorant of most, if not all, of the evils of the world.

Nancy pioneering the “pronounce something weird in your TikTok to juice your engagement with comments correcting you”

This is the kind of shit that would make you completely outside the bounds of any ancient society, the gods bestow generational curses for violating hospitality

Rest in peace to the creator of the only Dilbert comics worth a damn

i firmly believe — like you would have to give me hard evidence to convince me otherwise — that they feed trump a steady diet of AI slop

My father-in-law demonstrates how he would deal with a hangover if he access to a cold plunge like this one at a Japanese-style onsen in New Mexico by dunking his whole damn head in.

My photography has been digital since my photojournalism days & I can absolutely do vibe-ier and more legible art photos with my Fuji than I ever could with film. You nailed it with “experience,” because I *shoot* digital with film techniques in mind but I could never get back into that film grind.

I wrote this feature in 2013 for Esquire, probably my first "viral" story, about the heyday of Buzzfeed and Upworthy shareable dog shit and how it seems like fun and games now but one day we will truly regret it. Right too soon again award. Bonus that it no longer exists on Esquire. archive.is/C0yBR

NANCY AT THE PENNY ARCADE

that third panel is just beautiful

Dozens protest outside ICE building in Durango after 2 children, father detained The three were detained by federal agents in Durango while on their way to school Monday, according to Compañeros, Four Corners Immigrant Resource Center

Under President Trump, ICE agents arrested at least 81 children under 18 in Colorado from January 20 to July 28 of this year, according to data obtained from ICE. In the same time period in 2024, under President Biden, ICE arrested just one child in this age group.

An anonymous officer was caught on video throwing a woman to the ground during a peaceful protest outside the ICE field office in Durango.

Dozens of protesters remained Tuesday after demonstrating through the night over the detainment of two children and their father on the way to school.

No correct aspect ratio upload to be found on YouTube, and I could be more rigorous about my editing, but I genuinely think this is some of the funniest 106 seconds in comedy history, and definitely in my top five Simpsons jokes.

Extremely suburban Denver coded. My cousin from Lakewood was always trying to explain ICP lore and Marilyn Manson lyrics to me as a sixth-grader. Baffling culture to try to figure out in the dial-up era

Cycling is ten times more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities Active travel can help tackle the climate crisis earlier than electric vehicles – even if you swap the car for a bike for just one trip a day.

Cycling is 10 times more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities and 100 times more fun.

American Government-by-Lawsuit Is a Disaster Judicial review is not just anti-democratic, it strangles ordinary governance.

I’m never going to stop being mad that hedge funds and tech middlemen siphoned off all the money that should’ve let someone like Kaleb Horton have the career he deserved

This was always the funniest conspiracy theory to me — that there are MRI machine-like devices that can cure all known illnesses in seconds, but the government has been hiding them — and Trump just posted an AI generated video of himself announcing they're real. We're cooked!

In Klamath Falls, Oregon, victory declared over antifa, which never showed up Towns from Washington state to Indiana have seen armed groups begin patrolling the streets after rumors spread on social media about an antifa invasion.

Five years ago, @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social and I did a story about rural Oregon's fever dream that Antifa was coming to their town from Portland.

Hundreds showed up armed downtown because they heard on Facebook that "Antifa buses" were coming.

No buses came so they said Antifa "retreated."

A screenshot of a Denver Post headline reading: “Puddle of Mudd frontman arrested at Denver International Airport, according to police” along with a really intense mugshot of lead singer Wes Scantlin

Text reading: “Puddle of Mudd frontman Wes Scantlin was arrested for allegedly riding on a baggage carousel at Denver International Airport, according to police reports. Scantlin was taken into custody on Jan. 16 after he was seen running “behind the large-item baggage carousel” and then came “out of the secured area through an alarmed door” and walked outside, according to a Denver Police report. Scantlin is under investigation of trespassing. The charges will be determined by the Denver District Attorney’s Office.”

One of my fondest memories of my early days on The Denver Post’s online team was getting to see this come through the CMS: www.denverpost.com/2015/01/20/p...

I was literally just trying to describe it to someone the other day. I need to get a copy of it archived so we never lose it

How ICE Raids Are Making It Easier for Civilian Men to Assault Immigrant Women "This phenomenon is only possible because of the outsized power that state agents have always had to abuse and control women and victims' bodies," argues Kylie Cheung.

new from @kylietcheung.bsky.social in @teenvogue.com: recently, men have impersonated plainclothes ICE agents to assault women—only possible, she argues, because state agents commit violence with impunity.

"To be clear, men wouldn’t be posing as ICE agents and assaulting women if ICE didn’t exist."
