DHS has shot 12 people during immigration enforcement operations since September:
Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.
i think this attitude — that all opposition is illegitimate and nothing we do can be questioned— is probably pervasive in the white house and helps explain why they keep making terrible political choices
Putin pioneered this. No opposition is legitimate. Regular, decent, “ordinary” people cannot possibly be against us because only we represent “the real people.”
Tell-tale sign of authoritarianism.
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."
Gov. Tim Walz: "Thank God we have video, because according to DHS, these seven heroic guys took an onslaught of a battalion against them or something. It's nonsense, people. It's nonsense and it is lies."
You can’t “we need our guns” your way to perpetuating school shootings while “he had a gun” your way to justifying public executions.

Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-year-old U.S. citizen, was put in a chokehold by ICE agents.
Agents took his phone, which he tracked to a used electronics vending machine near an ICE detention center.
Yes: ICE is stealing and selling people’s things after brutalizing them. There are no words.

fun fact about that Rose Bowl in 1917:
UO didn't have money to send the team to Pasadena, so they sold the campus bookstore.
The company that ran it was so awful that in 1920 students, faculty, and staff raised money to buy it.
The Duck Store is the nonprofit co-op they established 105 years ago.
After over a decade watching the Ducks, I’ve started covering my eyes when they try 4th down conversions. But I never really had a doubt.
#GoDucksThat was the best game Oregon has played on defense, ever.
#GoDucksPresident Trump’s unlawful executive order to upend AI safety laws infringes on states’ legal right to enact common-sense protections.
80% of people want AI safety rules, but the Trump administration would rather reward tech CEOs than help working people.
bit.ly/497EJy0I hope the Dems realize that if they extend the ACA subsidies, and take no other steps, they are giving carte blanche to the biggest insurance companies and major hospital systems to find new ways to game the system and increase costs.
It's the fault of the DOJ/ FTC and politicians of both parties, for allowing big insurance companies and hospital systems to become the largest companies in the country, giving them the ability to set pricing and rules for healthcare

Does everybody “shout” now? I seen a Vanderbilt post and now heard the commanders play it? 🙄 I’ll let it slide since a lot of ducks are on both teams but come on… be original and adopt your own song.

There is a story about two white men from Texas who were plotting to invade a Haitian island, k**l all the men, and enslave all the women and children there.
On the one hand, I'm glad that they got booked. On the other hand, I would've loved to have seen what would've happened if they tried.
Tom Friedman’s piece in the NYT today again brings up the specter of Neville Chamberlain in ‘39. I disagree.
A better analogy is saying to Hitler: “keep the Sudetenland, don’t worry about the Holocaust, & we’ll give you a few years to rearm to attack into Belgium again. Let’s sign that!”

ICE kidnapped a 17-year-old U.S. citizen named Christian Jimenez. Jimenez, a high school senior born in Newberg, Oregon, was driving on his school’s lunch break when ICE/CBP agents stopped his car, smashed his window, and abducted him on November 21, 2025.

A tech billionaire mocked Pope Leo XIV’s call for ethical AI.
The post was deleted — but not before exposing Silicon Valley’s deeper discomfort: a pope they can’t buy or bully.
It also revealed something older: the Valley’s original sin — the desire to be God.

A billionaire tech guru openly mocked Leo's call for moral AI — and quickly backtracked after backlash. It’s a telling collision of Silicon Valley hubris with a pope they cannot buy, bully, or ignore.
