I can never go anyplace where there might be polar bears, because I know how I am, and I would be like "Oh, hi bear!" and try to cuddle with them, even knowing that they're NOT for snuggles. Look at those paws!
I don’t live in Illinois(but I did spend a winter there once in 1983-84), but I would TOTALLY vote for Kat Ab…uh… Abughazaleh (even if I’ll never be able to pronounce her name). And her Attack Cat!🐈
Im pretty sure that DHS has no intention of backing off from their aggressive deportation activities. Trump's remarks were simply a smoke screen, placing blame for anti ICE protests on protesters and deflecting it away from his administration and his ICE goons.
We all know that the ICE surge in blue states is more about sowing chaos and generating negative images of democratic states and cities than about immigration enforcement.
“Trump’s spokesperson has said: “Neither the president nor his family have ever engaged, or will ever engage, in conflicts of interest.””
I mean, how dumb do you need to be to be a Grampa Assmouth spox? Nobody “engages” in conflicts of interest. It’s what you DO that’s a conflict. Or in the case of the Assmouth family, your entire raison d’etre.
“The two agents who shot and killed Alex Pretti have been identified from government records by ProPublica as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.”
The "anti-Latino immigrant" energy in the US has created a color line where many Latino Americans actively deny their connection with undocumented Latino immigrants and in fact aggressively oppose them. Look at how many Latino men support Trump. We live in a white supremacist society where "whiteness" and the racist energy it creates is the ideal.
Seems that it’s easier to shutter a cultural institution and claim to be “renovating” it than it is to run it after purging the board and repulsing donors, performers and attendees.
re: Gates. Who knows where he might have got that? Friend who worked for Msoft back in the day told me recently that he was known for cruising the area in a very expensive car apparently looking for sex. Company gossip, take it for what it was worth, but I like my source.
"A US disaster response firm submitted a plan to White House officials that would guarantee 300% profits and a seven-year monopoly over a new trucking and logistics plan for Donald Trump’s Board of Peace in Gaza, according to a November proposal obtained by the Guardian."
Heritage sent me an email the other day AGAIN begging for money to make more deporting happen, the fuckers. And I can see even by just the web link to that story that it's more Fourth Reich "the Fatherland will die without hWite babies" bullshit. I suppose they've got to be thankful American schools do such a shit job of teaching history, or there'd be a WHOLE LOT more folks out there rightly calling them *at the very least* Nazi-adjacent. (Still wonder if they've been reading back issues of The Stormer, or whether it just becomes natural to talk like that when you join the Dark Side.)
That Trump is closing the Kennedy Center for "renovations" fills me with sadness and dread. Sad that a great institution like that is going empty because fascism is driving away patrons and dread because there has been no discussion of needed repairs,. In all likelihood this will be like his "Ballroom" that begins with demolition and ends in a landfill. It becomes another item on the list of things to de-Trumpify, when the wannabe Mussolini is gone.
ICE continues to block members of Congress from doing their constitutional duty of inspecting their detention centers. What do they have to hide, the unredacted documents of the Epstein files?

I saw a stuffed one at the Fairbanks airport and would like to stay far, far away from them, regardless of floof, because they are HUGE.
The Polar Bear lives
on the Arctic ice
stay far away
is my advice
The Ram will ram you
so too, the ewe
if either finds itself
with nothing better to do
To make a meal of stocky goats
Might not seem a crime
To burly pearly polar bears
From a harshly frozen clime
A sneak attack, a horny snack
The greatest of all time.
Bear: "Mmmmmm, Oreos!
Goats enjoying the Giant Tardigrade exhibit.

From their pov definitely not a Care Bear! More like a Scare Bear!
Seals aren’t supposed to have tusks, let alone on their heads.
Now do snarling leopard and bunny rabbits.
Or snarling bunny rabbits.
That bear is thinking what’s for lunch?
Those goats have devil eyes!
"Eyes Wide Shut" immersive theater
The goats can't bear to watch.
Polar bear water ballet! The goats are not impressed. Philistines.
Time for you to get back to work!

Seriously, how self-loathing do you have to be?

The irony of the names of Alex Pretti killers is just too much. Any producer would fire such a hack writer.
They're both ICE veterans. One has been on the force 8 years, the other 14 IIRC.
Predating the current MAGAhat rush. I guess they found their niche early.

OK, I am now the biggest Kat Abughazaleh fan!

Wow, now she is a million percent cooler than I already thought!

Thank you for the laugh.
