It should be legal to shoot ice agents, on duty or off, particularly if they, as usual, are masked and not following police procedures. And if the man was afraid for his life, as he definitely should have been if an ice agent was involved, the precedent set by multiple high profile recent cases in other states is that it was legal. I hope that jury finds the same.

I appreciate your sentiment against violence more than the community at large. While I do hate needless divisiveness, as many others have already said in this instance the person in question made a conscious choice to enact the hateful, barbaric policies of the trump administration as the instrument of violence for personal profit.

We who cherish tolerance must be the most mindful of the tolerance paradox.

I hope they get out there and kill, kill, kill it.

Nobody with as much as average intelligence will use the term 'super intelligence' to describe LLMs.

As long as he dies on it fast, I think we'll all be satisfied.

They'll publish anything these days. His "book" is just a shitty middle school level essay and by his age he ought to be ashamed to so confidently state such an opinion in those terms. This pathetic sophomore is meant to uphold the constitution, not some religious dogma.

What people will rightly take away from this deplorable example is that supreme court judges are nothing special. They're not more moral, more intelligent, nor do they hold greater understanding of the constitution than anyone else who actually read the full document. And such a takeaway is called disgrace. His actions and existence damage the reputation of the court.

The only reason I wouldn't want him to resign in shame (if he can experience shame) is that his successor will be appointed for loyalty to trump and not qualifications, which is definitely a side grade to the current state.

They brought their kids with them, so slightly more, though it may take a few years.

Meta, X, and ChatGPT have all automated mass piracy of art, music, articles, and anything their genAI touches. Surely you mean to start there?

He was medically a moron before he had a small stroke. Now he shits himself constantly, can't remember which country ending in N he started a war with, and can't name the president of the United States as far back as 2025. If it wasn't for Steven Miller animating his corpse, he'd be in a burn pit under 6' of effluent already.

In this world, shipmates, sin that pays its way can travel freely and without a passport; whereas Virtue, if a pauper, is stopped at all frontiers.

With the newly relaxed hiring standards at the FBI, the agents can now recommend greener pastures for dating.

Directly so

Taxes themselves are not theft, but the misuse of those taxes (such as waging purposeless war, refurbishing your gifted airplane emoluments, funneling money to a family member's private business, putting public money into crypto scams, or vandalizing public monuments) is a kind of theft.

It's happening in Germany. It's happening in France. It's happening in Australia and Canada and Italy and Japan and pretty much everywhere. Somehow, in spite of a proven record of failure and catastrophic consequences, right wing ideology continues to grow like a cancer across the globe.

The US got to this point with help from foreign billionaires, as well as domestic ones. Elon Musk, Rupert Murdoch, Sundar Pichai... The grift is global and putting your vitriol toward those who might take your side will leave you friendless when it happens to you where you live.

People gave up instead of showing up and that was a costly mistake.

Many people mean well, even if they live in bad places. Have the grace to encourage them to keep resisting, even if that resistance is as small as protest or even voting, for your own sake.

Just don't go

🤯

Democrats are so awful at setting objectives. I feel like they're only committing to this because it's DOA. Priority 1 in the event of a 2026 victory is shutting down the president and reining in presidential power. When that is done, purge government institutions of magats. Investigate and prosecute right wingers, especially the billionaires who sabotaged the United States and the president's enablers in Congress and the supreme court.

Get your house back in order.

The wrong people have money everywhere.

I hope it's painful and that he burns all the way down.

Your liver grows back. Just saying.

Yeah... This is the face of a guy hunting humans on that land. He probably got the land there instead of a more private island somewhere remote in order to have lower latency to drones in Ukraine.
