  • OP is shocked that an import tax is not paid by the exporter

    Jump

  • MAGAs love the idea of Trump using tariffs to "punish" the countries they don't like until they find out that those countries don't actually pay the tariffs. The consumer does.

  • NRA and pro-gun groups call for ‘full investigation’ into killing of Alex Pretti

    Jump

  • F*ck the NRA. Did they forget to "rise up against tyranny?" You know, the ONE THING they've been jerking themselves purple about for the last 50 years?

  • ICE says its officers can forcibly enter homes during immigration operations without judicial warrants: 2025 memo

    Jump

  • "ICE says its officers can forcibly enter homes . . . "

    I've got a gun that says they can't.

  • ICE has stopped paying for detainee medical treatment

    Jump

  • ICE is ultimately responsible for any deaths in their custody because once you arrest someone, YOU are responsible for their health and safety until you either release them or hand them over to another legal jurisdiction.

    You are also responsible for the actions of your contractors, since you hired and paid them. "Keep them warm, keep them fed, and don't let them die" is an absurdly low bar for any contractor to carry out.

  • ‘Maybe DHS Was a Bad Idea’ | Two decades after its founding, the department has become what its critics feared.

    Jump

  • Oh, you mean the name "Homeland Security" itself wasn't a huge f*cking clue that it was a terrible idea?

  • Trump says U.S. shouldn't have midterm elections

    Jump

  • "Trump has said that the United States shouldn’t have midterm elections this year because midterm voters often vote against the president’s party."

    Yeah, that's why it's called VOTING.

  • Schumer, Jeffries Refuse to Join Democrats' Growing Calls to Slash ICE Spending | Common Dreams

    Jump

  • Stop voting for these incumbent "establishment Democrats." These boring corporatists who only care about their phony baloney jobs. They have never cared about ordinary people. Vote for Democrats who want real change.

  • Renee Good Not an Activist, Had Just Dropped Son at School

    Jump

  • You know, if being opposed to masked government murderers stalking your neighborhood makes you an "activist" then we need to ask some serious questions about the state of "journalism" these days.

  • ICE Shoots Minneapolis Observer in the head

    Jump

  • ICE says the woman, later identified as Renee Good, was shot in her car after attempting to ram into agents. Mayor Jacob Frey and Gov. Tim Walz are disputing ICE’s version of events.

    Feel free to add your own interpretation of the video, intrepid MPR news reporter and stop repeating ICE's bullshiat*t,

  • Kristi Noem faces impeachment threat after deadly Minnesota shooting

    Jump

  • I literally bolded the part I had a problem with: "driving toward an agent." That did NOT happen.

  • ‘Stop sending butt plugs to Bahrain’: Toronto sex store receives letters from U.S. Department of War

    Jump

  • Shouldn't the letter be coming from a more appropriate department, like Commerce or Trade or something?

    Also, "Buttplugs for Bahrain" sounds like a charity drive.

  • Kristi Noem faces impeachment threat after deadly Minnesota shooting

    Jump

  • " Videos captured by bystanders showed Good's vehicle driving toward an agent and turning to speed away when the officer shot into the vehicle multiple times."

    No, it f*cking DOESN'T, you goddamn liar.

  • FBI investigating after ICE officer fatally shoots woman in Minneapolis

    Jump

  • Also, the FBI is currently run by Kash "Bug Eyes" Patel, another one of Trump's picks. If he gets put in charge of any "investigation" he's going to say that ICE did nothing wrong.

  • FBI investigating after ICE officer fatally shoots woman in Minneapolis

    Jump

  • This. Does no one here know what sarcasm is?

  • ICE agent shoots, kills woman in Minneapolis

    Jump

  • This government is the enemy of the people, and that needs to be hammered home every time this happens until it registers.

  • PSA: Nvidia drivers 580 broke gaming on sway / wlroots for me

    Jump

  • I recently upgraded from Linux Mint 21.3 to 22.2 and my login screen STILL shows the Wayland (Cinnamon) display manager as "experimental." Wayland runs a lot smoother on 22.2 and it's a lot less crash-ey, but I don't think it's ready for prime time, yet. (Your own mileage may vary.)

  • PC Gamer: "I'm brave enough to say it: Linux is good now, and if you want to feel like you actually own your PC, make 2026 the year of Linux on (your) desktop"

    Jump

  • Thanks, I need to give that a try. Most of my non-Steam games ("Deus Ex", "Giants: Citizen Kabuto") run just fine under Wine, using the default settings. The only one that doesn't work is NOLF 1. (Everything works except music).

  • DHS says REAL ID, which DHS certifies, is too unreliable to confirm U.S. citizenship

    Jump

  • In a December 11 court filing, Philip Lavoie, the acting assistant special agent in charge of DHS' Mobile, Alabama, office, stated that, "REAL ID can be unreliable to confirm U.S. citizenship."

    That's not how the government sold Real ID to us when they created it. The whole point of Real ID was to provide an alternate way to confirm your citizenship and/or identity without requiring you to carrying your passport on you all the time.

  • New Year’s Eve Concerts at Kennedy Center Are Canceled [🎁 nytimes.com Gift article]

    Jump

  • Donald J Trump is the most unpopular U.S. president the modern world has ever experienced, so one could argue that a) by smearing his shitty name on a once-respected venue, Trump made the place political and b) by literally changing the name of the venue, the artist can claim they are no longer legally bound by their original contract, which was with the John F Kennedy Performing ArtsCenter and NOT the Donald Trump by way of the JFK Performing Arts Center.
