In highschool I was on a tactical team for a Sheriff’s Explorer program. We trained with SWAT, we competed at a big multi-state tactical event, we went on calls. It was fucking awesome. A large part of the training focused on harm reduction during violent action. Enter the shoot house and make sure you don’t ace the guy holding a phone. Be sure you don’t kill a hostage when the perp swaps clothes. Consider who’s behind that wall. You know, responsible things.

These fed goons are fucking trash.

@zl2tod not sure of the comparison, but Suncor here in Denver/Commerce City is parked right up against neighborhoods.

That’s one serious chemical fire in LA…

I wonder what the federal agents tell their families when they get home from a day where they ziptied literal children together into a chain of detained kids, dragged them down an apartment hall crying, while at least one agent said “fuck them kids”.

They were citizens, but even if they were noncitizen kids of noncitizen serial killer rapist pedophile lizard people, it would be extremely fucked up behavior.

It’s 2025. You just got a 50k signing bonus, wrapped up 5 weeks of training, and you’re now about to fastrope from a Blackhawk onto an apartment building with your assault rifle. You check your armor. Check your magazines. Check your zip ties. Thumbs up and down the rope. Time to terrify some naked kids, flashbang families, breach doors into the crib room, and drag some citizens into the street. Peak hero shit.

#FUCKICE

Claiming to be conducting mass immigration enforcement doesn’t justify breaching apartment doors systematically, flashbanging the rooms, and then ziptying the citizens inside and detaining them. Arresting anyone with any outstanding warrants through such action is illegal.

Thanks Roberts, you gutless shitstain.

I know the people who listen to Republicans won’t see this, but guys, less than 1% of Medicaid spending goes to undocumented immigrants, almost all in the form of payments to ERs for single visit services. On balance, undocumented immigrants contribute vastly more in taxes than they receive in services. That’s just a fact.

While we’re shutting down the government, seems a good a time to remind folks that we are able to send billions of dollars to Argentina to bail out the right wing leader there, while Argentina is selling discount soy to China, causing US soy farms to go belly up and get bought by Chinese billionaires.

So anyway, that’s where your tax dollars go.

Just so everyone is aware, the President of the United States just told an audience of hundreds of top active duty military officers that they should be using American cities as “training grounds”.

Normal things normal presidents of sound mind say.

Republicans are stealing your tax dollars to bail out Argentina while Argentina is dumping cheaper soybeans into the market, bankrupting American farmers.

So Republicans are closing rural hospitals and taking away health insurance from rural Americans, while collapsing the market for US farm produce, so that we can prop up farmers in other countries?

Charlie Kirk was a phenomenal asshole who pushed racist, sexist, xenophobic garbage to get dumb white people to pay his mortgage.

Sending the feds in Portland is meant to cause riots. It is bait. It is designed to provoke a response, so that they can then send more troops in, and then Fox can talk about it, and everyone can forget Trump raped girls with Epstein.

Funding foreign aid to contain Ebola outbreaks is extremely cost effective. If a single unrecognized Ebola patient is hospitalized in a busy urban hospital for a few days before it is recognized, we will spend tens of millions of dollars isolating and treating everyone who was at risk, containing the waste from that operation, and decontaminating the hospital, not to mention having to find a temporary replacement for the services that hospital used to provide.

@dlakelan looks like it survives about a week in dried blood. Survives a little longer in porous surfaces. Probably could get a place up and running again in 2 weeks, and if you nuked the rooms with the UV robots we used in other outbreaks, that would probably help. Getting the public and HCWs to trust it though…

I spent days talking with ER staff, going over papers and safety data and how mRNA vaccines work, in 2020, so that folks would feel comfortable getting the shots.

@evan pretty simple plan this time: arms embargo on Israel, authorize use of military force to protect a humanitarian mission in Gaza, and push a Palestinian state.

Cool, so we’re paying for tariffs that are bankrupting farmers, and then we’re also gonna pay to bail out the farmers.

Wellfare. It’s called wellfare.

Yeah, so, thing is, I’m not gonna “turn down the volume” when it comes to calling out fascism. ICE is destroying families, torturing detainees, and literally disappearing thousands of people. FBI is investigating political opponents instead of pedophiles. The National Guard is militarizing cities. FCC is shutting down media that criticize the president. The president is ordering illegal killings of sailors. The road to death camps is short and straight from here. Get fucked.

Btw, the alleged ICE shooter today was a felon with a drug charge. Felons generally cannot possess firearms. This is why background checks and safe storage laws are important. OK and TX have neither.

But yeah, the violent left are to blame. I haven’t met too many violent leftists, but apparently they exists somewhere. Probably shoulda just let people peacefully protest.

When Trump says women need to deal with pain during pregnancy, all I hear is “I wasn’t in the room when my kids were born”.

Aight, Imma break some ethical rules here.

The cankles on POTUS. They’re a problem. Before I was pretty unimpressed. Old folks get venous insufficiency all the time. The photos I’ve seen this week would be pretty amazingly bad venous insufficiency in someone doing *nothing* to help. No compression socks, diuretics, ablations, nothing. Seems unlikely. That dude has at least 3+ BLE edema. Probably heart failure, although could be kidneys. Liver less likely without jaundice, although possible.
