As ICE raids start widening, I’m firmly reminded that the mean American owns 1.2 guns.
Undocumented immigrants have ~1/3 the gun ownership of American citizens, and are reasonably less likely to defend themselves from law enforcement lest they have an even worse time.
I don’t want bloodshed, but I don’t see how unidentified soldiers in nighttime no-knock raids on a highly armed population won’t cause it.
Oh, the mean ones own a lot more than that!!!
(Extra exclamation points, for a reason)
There are 1.2-1.3 civilian firearms per American.
The average number of firearms in a household given that there is at least one is potentially quite a bit higher.
(My wife and I own 6 modern firearms and 2 antiques.)
This is a good move by Denmark.
Social media is pure poison for small children.
Australia, Norway and Germany have something similar.
When are we going to roll out the GoActuary age verification system?
Perhaps the new way forward for the right wing TikTok: the ICE detention of a WGN TV producer has been removed because it doesn’t spark joy. Apparently other ICE tear gassings and detentions do spark joy.
At one point during the White House’s “antifa roundtable,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem made comments she treated as important. “One of the individuals we arrested recently in Portland was the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa,” the secretary boasted, “and we’re hoping as we go after her and prosecute her, we’ll get more and more information about the network.”
Attorney General Pam Bondi said the administration intended to “take the same approach” to antifa as it did with foreign drug cartels — an unsettling vow in light of a series of deadly military strikes against civilian boats in international waters that Trump has ordered as part of a formal “armed conflict.”
‘I was in Portland yesterday and had the chance to visit with the governor of Oregon and also the mayor there in town, and they are absolutely covering up the terrorism that is hitting their streets,’ Noem said during a roundtable about antifa that Trump held at the White House this afternoon. ‘These leaders in these local cities, along with Pritzker and Johnson, ignore what’s going on, or, sir, they’re helping antifa cover it up,’ she added.
Antifa is working with… Deep Staters posing as… local city clerks… to hide the terrorism that is ravaging the streets so badly that you can’t even see it.
The government arrested the girlfriend of Antifa (or “Antifa’s founder” who must be over 100 years old), but you aren’t allowed to know who she is or hear from her. Just trust us.
Homeland Security put out a statement recently based on an archived link to a blog alleging to be Antifa that was posted on Twitter by a random, discussing pointing laser pointers at planes.
DHS on the danger of defunct, archived personal blogs:
Antifa domestic terrorists WILL NOT overrun our cities. We will bust their networks and bring every one of them to justice.
Trump also says we discovered that $100,000,000 of Deep State money was redirected to Antifa. Haven’t found anything actually supporting the President’s claims, so I refuse to link to Fox News or worse outlets regurgitating it.
Antifa is quite the sophisticated, high-budget operation!
This might be a step too far that will result in pushback. I mean, it’s one thing to go after the Hamas supporting, Soros backed antifa terrorists, but football fans?
A controversial Florida law passed in 2021 to crack down on protests following the George Floyd demonstrations and the January 6 Capitol riot is now being used in an unexpected context: college football celebrations.
University of Florida fans who rushed the field after a recent Gators victory are facing legal consequences under the same legislation that was originally promoted by Gov. Ron DeSantis to deter violent political protests, according to our news partners at the South Florida Sun Sentinel. The law, known for enhancing penalties for unlawful assemblies and granting immunity to drivers who hit protesters blocking roads, is now being applied to students and fans engaging in post-game revelry.
The incident has sparked debate over the scope and intent of the law, with critics arguing that its use against football fans is a clear overreach. According to the South Florida Sun Sentinel, legal experts and civil rights advocates warn that the broad language of the statute allows for selective enforcement, raising concerns about its potential to suppress free expression and peaceful gatherings.
Punish the out-group, not the in-group!
He’s not hurting the people he’s supposed to hurt!
Wasn’t that pretty much the point of the law in the first place?
so, 15 yards instead of 5?
So, allowing cars onto the field to clear out these political protesters??
I’d seen this video before but never appreciated the guy who ran it down. The high shot at the end shows he started at the back corner of the endzone and caught it between the hashes on the other 25 yard line. So he ran over 100 yards to catch it!
Of course, I suppose he also might have been the one who let it get loose in the first place. I can’t quite make it out.
Remember when the GOP railed against partisan persecution by the IRS? It’s being enshrined as a fixture New Trump scheme seeks to let loyalists hunt down left-wing groups through IRS
