Suddenly, the Second Amendment is an optional thing for the Republican Party.

Even if you take the conservative defense of each ICE killing, you’re left with “We haphazardly scaled up a poorly trained police force to storm into neighborhoods that voted against the president, where we antagonize the local population until someone resists arrest, and then we

The government's stated rationale for this killing is that the victim was carrying a legal firearm. The very people that told us we need to accept mass child slaughter for the right to protect ourselves from scary Obama, now say the govt can kill you if you possess a weapon.

It’s actually very simple. The president is trying to apprehend dangerous criminals and all the dangerous criminals live in states that didn’t vote for the president and also they didn’t do anything and also they’re your neighbors and also you’re next if you keep asking questions

The CBP Chief is blaming Alex Pretti, the victim, while implying that anyone who criticizes the authoritarian state, or even “listens” to someone who does, might be killed for it.

You must provide your ID, but they can wear masks and conceal their identities. You must comply with every order, even when they ignore the very laws they’re sworn to uphold. You’re told to prioritize the officer’s “safety,” while his masked buddies surround your car armed to

Tangentially, I've been thinking lately about Bombadil's immunity to the power of the ring, born of his seeming indifference to power as such and his unquenchable delight in being itself, as a model for how we might relate to technology.

This shit is literally in the Declaration of Independence, in the litany of George III’s tyrannical crimes.

I've been waiting for this photoshop for months...

I've been sent video from the end of the ICE raid at the Zipps on 32nd and Shea. It shows protesters -- on the sidewalk, impeding no one -- getting drive-by maced by an ICE agent from a truck as it rolls away down the road. Hard to see how such tactics are justifiable.

You didn’t read that wrong. The Trump administration is opposing an order not to destroy evidence.

We are witnessing the modern equivalent of the burning of the Library of Alexandria The reckless destruction of knowledge, heritage, hard work, and brilliance just to watch it all burn

LMFAO when you lay it out like this the absurdity is just STAGGERING.

If ICE agents are receiving new orders to do what they were originally supposed to be doing, then it means their current orders were to terrorize these communities and violate people’s rights.

Google book search is...over. In a sane country it would be a huge deal, front page news, that a privately owned utility that millions researches, from journalists to scholars, rely on every day to advance knowledge can just disappear. Good news for fascists, though.

The Medici funded both the City of Florence and the Italian Renaissance for two centuries, but Bezos couldn’t keep a newspaper together for a decade.

I think it’s incredibly decent for the Olympics audience to boo our awful Vice President and still summon the grace to cheer for our athletes.

The reaction to this Mando spoof trailer is a perfect example of whats wrong with fan expectations. It’s a lighthearted spoof with footage not even from the movie and fans are freaking out. It was cute. It’s actually a great idea for a Super Bowl ad, a nod to classic Bud/Coke ads

My 2 cents: Having lived in a few of these regions, I know that 13 would confidently (and wrongly) claim the title for themselves and 6 would go "Ope, I'm gonna sneak right past ya" on the way the to a victory the likes of which 13 couldn't dream of.

Breaking the hiatus for a second to say the #Scrubs reboot was really solid. I'm so so so happy to see my favorite show back on the air, and I'm excited to see where they will take it.
