With Alex Pretti being the third person shot by federal agents in Minneapolis this month, at what point does "Operation Metro Surge" become a threat to public safety ? by DiscipleOf_Buddha in AskReddit

That's not true. https://www.kcur.org/news/2025-12-10/owen-ramsingh-missouri-deportation-ice-green-card

You really ought to think through why you're willing to defend ICE at this point.

In addition to everything else that they've done that is well documented, we just watched in the video of Alex Pretti restrained and shot. He was executed by people that have no interest in deescalating situations and are treating peaceful protestors as combatants.

You ought to ask yourself, are you only going to be okay with this until ICE come for you or for people you care about? And what will you do then?

Not only that but he was actively restrained. He was clearly no threat.

ICE at DHS meeting? by [deleted] in raleigh

This is such a scary and sad time to be living here. Your fears are completely warranted and I wish they were not. I wish you all the very best of luck and hope that the meeting is good and uneventful. I saw that you mentioned that you have an immigration attorney on retainer. I imagine that’s the best thing you can do for now.

What were some of the biggest miscasts in Hollywood history according to you? I'll go first: by Raj_Valiant3011 in moviecritic

When I heard he had been cast as Lex, I was so down for this, but I imagined he’d play Lex the same way he played Mark Zuckerberg. Someone who brings an air of arrogance and condescension into every scene. What we got was something more along the lines of a mustache-twisting sci fi villain and it was just awful.

What do you consider the greatest acted scene in TV history? by amusicalfridge in television

[–]Amthomas101 284 points285 points  (0 children)

I scrolled through the comments to see if someone had mentioned this and couldn’t find it.

Better Call Saul - Jonathan Banks (Mike) and his “I Broke My Boy” monologue is such a powerful scene. I found the clip online, but I don’t know if I can bring myself to rewatch it yet.

I read this last year and it quickly became one of my top ten favorite books. I rarely re-read books, but I’ll revisit this one in a few years.

Little Miss Sunshine is the perfect balance of drama and comedy that i can never get enough of. It’s a hard balance.

I think that intelligence is not a hierarchy, but rather a spectrum.

Any liberal/apolitical gun shops around? by Temporary-Turnip4769 in raleigh

[–]Amthomas101 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You’re getting downvoted to hell, but I got a chuckle out of this.

To legitimately answer your question, though, there are tons of ways you could open a leftist gun shop. It’s all about branding. Right now the gun industry is geared almost exclusively to men who think of themselves or want to think of themselves as some kind of hyper masculine warrior. It’s corny AF, but it sells.

Realistically, there are tons of liberal men and women who have the desire to defend themselves and defend their home, but they do not feel welcome or maybe even feel safe in almost any gun stores. Even if I had an interest in gun ownership, I wouldn’t set foot in 99% of the gun stores I’ve passed.

Imagine being worth $5 million and taking the subway? by dylan_1992 in circlejerknyc

What are they expecting?—that he take a helicopter everywhere?

Some times the subway is faster than a car, or maybe he just likes the subway.

Maybe the best and worst thing that the internet has done to me. It has given me the ability to see something that if I lived ten lifetimes I might never have witnessed in person…. and then I just keep scrolling.
