  • What is the justification for pointing guns at people who are just minding their own business?

    It’s a performance piece. ICE acts like this because they are pretending that they are actually the ones under threat. That they are really fighting to survive in a lawless land where every man’s hand is against them. The truth, of course, is that the main threat to anyone in the area is ICE itself, but they have to maintain the optics otherwise the media might wake up and realize that ICE’s main opposition in Portland are people dancing around in inflatable frog costumes.







  • Ellis last week said agents in the area must wear badges, and she banned them from using certain riot control techniques against peaceful protesters and journalists.

    “I’m having concerns about my order being followed,” the judge said.

    “I am adding that all agents who are operating in Operation Midway Blitz are to wear body-worn cameras, and they are to be on,” Ellis said, referring to the government’s name for the crackdown.

    So, to be clear, if you are assaulted by a person or person who is not wearing a badge and a camera, you should be well within your rights to use whatever force is necessary to defend yourself. Right?




  • Last week he urged the court to urgently intervene, saying that if the court did not take action, his website, Infowars, was at risk of being turned over to the satirical news site The Onion.

    The proposed acquisition would be used to help fund payments to family members of the Sandy Hook victims.

    Jones’ lawyers had warned in the filing last week that if the case was not put on hold, “InfoWars will have been acquired by its ideological nemesis and destroyed."

    Ideological nemesis? Really? Infowars has always been a joke. Under The Onion at least it’ll also be funny.



  • The assessment found that PFNA interferes with human development by causing lower birth weights and, based on animal evidence, likely causes damage to the liver and to male reproductive systems, including reductions in testosterone levels, sperm production and the size of reproductive organs.

    Likely causes reductions in the size of reproductive organs. You would think that this at least would get the attention of these people. I know they don’t care about much, but I’m shocked that they are not panicked over the likelihood that their sons are all going to have tiny dicks like Trump.


  • “‘Someone’ cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second,” Bray posted on Bluesky social media. “We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’”

    I confess that I know nothing about cancelling reservations like this, but who exactly has the power to cancel a reservation after you’ve gone through security, picked up your boarding passes, and checked your bags? Could some rando have called the airline and done it at that point? I would think that the computer would flag the customer service person that the traveler was already checked in and ready to board. But then, maybe I’m giving their systems too much credit.


  • The people that won were the only bidders.

    And they may not even get it.

    Federal officials did not immediately say if they would accept the offer. It was the only bid received.

    The Fed could end up saying that the bid was too low and may not accept it despite there being no other offers. This is far, far less than they were hoping for, I’m sure. Per the article, the last successful lease in the area was “$793 million, or $1.10 per ton, for 721 million tons of coal in Wyoming.” This bid is $186,000 to lease 167 million tons which comes to something like like $0.001 per ton. The last coal lease was worth 1000 times more than this bid.
