i guess the point is that the speed, scale, and methods of modern ultrawealth accumulation are so new to us that, with that in mind, it's not surprising at all that societies — including the wealthy, the poor and everyone else alike — have absolutely no idea what to do with or about it
Not referring to queer and trans people like that, never would. But the preponderance of miserable fucks on this site engaging in self-defeating behavior, yeah
Site full of sick freaks who want everyone to feel as bad as them
Average Bsky poster: "We must inaugurate a Second Reconstruction with blood and fire."
Average Democratic politician: "We are in a war for the Republic, which is why I propose a 23.7% tax cut."
Average liberal columnist: "For too long the transgenders have blocked research into the racial IQ gap."
Someone from Seattle when you recommend them a good book: great I can't wait to get into the left lane of the interstate where I can really concentrate and shut out any other distractions
With your typical boom lift rented from a Home Depot you'll be able to piss on his name, but to piss on his face you're gonna need to rappel down from the roof
One thing that’s concerning about this (beyond the obvious) is that anything you dump this many billions of dollars into necessarily creates a massive and well-funded political constituency for its own perpetuation.
My personal theory is that it's mostly a proxy issue for generational warfare against their interns and grandchildren.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.
This is why domestic "shuffle" flights between ICE detention centers have skyrocketed, much moreso than ICE deportation flights.
When you are moved to a different jurisdiction, you have to refile your habeas petition all over again. They want to wear people down so they'll give up on their cases.
Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by “free economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)
Woman with legal status taken from her family home in St Paul by ICE, flown to Texas, held for two weeks before being ordered released by a judge. She lost her job. She's afraid to go outside because agents keep coming to her home.

Every story I read about the revocation of TPS for Haitians makes me shake with rage. I am no longer surprised at the cruelty of this regime, but it is deeply shameful that our country is doing this. This is simply ethnic cleansing.
I listened to Kevin Warsh speak and he sounded dumb. Another conservative mental midget who can’t get the goods
Will Stancil is better and braver than every loser in his menchies
My message to the depressed shut-ins with chronic illness and low income who post on this app is that they should be much harder on themselves. There are things you ought to feel bad about that you haven’t realized yet. Keep going
4 federal agents pull over an elderly US citizen for the suspected crime of being brown, break her car window, throw her to the ground, then drive off after they find her US Passport in her purse. The Salem Police, when called, say there’s nothing they can do. www.salemreporter.com/2026/01/31/u...
Criminal gangs looting public coffers
ICE will respond by requiring all non-citizens to wear special badges, perhaps in a unique shape and color so everyone can recognize who's who in the streets.
Fascism is a literally suicidal ideology, one obsessed with purging the body politic to the point of total self-negation. What’s funny about Suicide Rightism is how direct it is about all this. You don’t need some big theoretical analysis; there’s no level of abstraction to move through. It’s just pretty straightforwardly pro-suicide. I don’t think you have to be a professional psychologist to understand why dramatic, attention-grabbing suicide might be appealing to semi-employed guys who spend 14 hours a day watching Asmongold or whatever. Its promise is that all the pain and frustration you feel can be visited on the people you believe authored it--and then ended. Not to put too fine a point on this, but this is school-shooter ideology. And as the D.H.S. tweet of the penguin meme makes clear, the Suicide Right case for Trump is that he gets this. The reward for supporting him is oblivion. He and I.C.E. and the C.B.P. are the armored bulldozer giving you the chance to kill immigrants and liberal white women and male nurses before you put a gun in your mouth. His administration is the plane, just waiting for you to get inside. I guess 2024 was a Flight 93 election, after all.
disturbingly plausible
NEW: ICE has spent at least $172 million this month on warehouses that it plans to convert into immigration jails

Honestly the biggest bubble white people have is they mostly don't know any Black people well at all, socially

a heavily armed paramilitary force with legal immunity is occupying a city and going door to door kidnapping non-white adults and children in furtherance of an explicitly white nationalist political project
From @404media.co,
“ICE has told lawmakers the app, called Mobile Fortify, provides a “definitive” determination of someone’s immigration status, and should be trusted over a birth certificate. “

The insult added to injury is that the most productive parts of the country are being forced to finance their own occupation and brutalization.
There you have it; the Trump admin allows ICE lawyer James Rodden to stay on the job. His personal social media account praised Hitler, supported white nationalism, and said that America started going downhill the day that Lincoln was elected.
Crucial context: ICE agents have typically been taught not to get scared, shoot fleeing moms in the head, and then call them a bitch afterwards on days 48 and 49 of their training.
ICE++ the CBP, and judging from the patches — BORTAC.
BORTAC is a counterterrorism tactical unit of CBP.
Just shooting people
