It's important to understand that Trump is a narcissist, he's desperate to hold onto power, and right now he thinks that the biggest threat to his power comes from high diesel prices. So the morality of his entire world now centers around who he blames for high diesel prices.

US social media companies are interfering in the Brazilian elections in favour of the Far Right’s Flávio Bolsonaro. Meta is the latest. It’s just blocked the campaign account of President Lula in the final stretch of the election.

Seasonal depression is very real, and hits a little different in Central Texas than some of the colder places it's typically associated with. It's hard to accurately describe just how much I hate living in a place where September is hotter than June, July and August.
When people ask me what kind of music I like, I shrug and say “All kinds.” In light of all the Ed Sheeran BS this week, I’ll add that unless the intro to the the MC5’s Ramblin’ Rose is a part of an artist’s foundational ethos, I’m not going to be interested in their music. youtu.be/qUzgztAtezo?...

Me: holy shit, someone just called Good Will Hunting an old movie, whaaaat. Reality: it's 30 years old, ma'am. Me: *sighs heavily* That term should only be for movies from like, the 1940s that are in black and white, thank you. Reality: Ma'am.
Sheeran wants to be “politically neutral” which means he’s guaranteed to be always wrong. You can’t be neutral to hate and genocide.
I know this is beside the point, but unlike Bo French I actually went to UT and can tell you: It was like this 25 years ago. And anyone who had a problem with that went to A&M.

I went to go see the new Oasis documentary Friday night. I don’t want to say too much about it. I went into it with zero expectations, other than being a fan. But if you’re looking to grab a bazooka to blast every shred of cynicism from your soul, this will do it; at least for a little while.

Democrats who have had absolutely nothing to do with Hasan Piker will be hounded about him, while Republicans who are directly benefitting from Musk funding will be asked about him in the most generic "money in politics" way, if at all.
Among other things, Elon Musk now makes clear his belief that women must be disenfranchised. And he's now the sole source funder of the Texas GOP. Shouldn't Texas GOP candidates who are running with his money be asked about this?

MEMORANDUM FOR: All ICE Personnel
FROM: Todd Lyons Acting Director
SUBJECT: Utilizing Form I-205, Warrant of Removal
On January 20, 2025, President Donald J. Trump issued Executive Order 14159, Protecting the American People Against Invasion, directing the Secretary of Homeland Security to "ensur[e] the successful enforcement of final orders of removal." 90 Fed. Reg. 8443, 8444 (Jan. 20, 2025) (E.O. 14159). Essential to the removal of aliens subject to final orders of removal is the ability to locate and arrest them. To this end, certain supervisory immigration officers within both Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) are authorized to issue an administrative warrant, Form I-205, Warrant of Removal (Form 1-205), for the arrest of an alien with a final order of removal. 8 C.F.R. § 241.2(a)(1). All U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) special agents and deportation officers are authorized to execute Forms 1-205. 8 C.F.R. § 287.5(e)(3)(iii) - (y)
Although the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has not historically relied on administrative warrants alone to arrest aliens subject to final orders of removal in their place of residence, the DHS Office of the General Counsel has recently determined that the U.S. Constitution, the Immigration and Nationality Act, and the immigration regulations do not prohibit relying on administrative warrants for this purpose. Accordingly, in light of this legal determination, ICE immigration officers may arrest and detain aliens subject to a final under of removal issued by an immigration judge, the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), or a U.S.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreifrzrvaszfhj4bzhgtyvx3fm6ht4kc2zrwtvozijyxl3zxgp7vx6a)
