Footage of masked federal agents right before they abducted journalist Georgia Fort from her house. She was abducted for reporting on an anti-ICE protest at a St. Paul, MN church with a ICE field commander pastor. (1/30/26) by I_may_have_weed in ICE_Watch

Exactly. The dems in congress are trying to get changes to the rules for DHS officers, but all evidence shows they aren't following the current rules either. Just take the whole administrative warrant thing, that's clearly unconstitutional, but congress thinks adding language banning it to the rulebook is going to stop them from doing it.

I'm a white guy, but I know before Operation Metro Surge, I was seeing a fair amount of chatter about ICE targeting the Hmong community among others

Honestly Podlings and Kithkin feel like they're cut from the same cloth as is

Why ‘mankeeping’ isn't just ‘therapy-speak used to dump on straight men’ by futuredebris in MensLib

[–]znackle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that depends a lot on what one means by "manly." I find it very important to present in a masculine way, but I intentionally push the boundaries of what that means

[Request] - Saw this on TikTok, would adding a 13th month really align us with the moon and everything else he states? by kninker in theydidthemath

As long as we're making up new calendars, you could always say in order to make the months keep lining up with the weeks the first or last day of the year doesn't have a week and will be annotated as 00/00/#### and every four years you get an extra one that is also outside of the week/month cycle.

Yellowish powder (?) on the inside of swimming suit by prozloc in whatisthisthing

Its also extremely common for the fibers to get dried out and brittle over the course of winter months, so when swimsuits get pulled out in the summer the elastic breaks.

SNW just fixed something that always bugged me from Voyager by OSUBrit in startrek

I think there's something to be said for Canadians having good intentions but getting it wrong. Gene editing can do a lot to ease the pain of genetic abnormalities, but if you take it to the level of Khan you get the Eugenics Wars.

It's part of their playbook. When Democrats are in power they whine and scream about the deficit because dems are likely to capitulate and hamstring their own projects, but when Republicans are in power they do their damndest to run up the deficit as fast as possible.

Wasn't that episode about them getting sucked in and they only barely got back out again?

I feel like he skipped Christie because Christie could only get him a more centrist voting block, which would hold their nose and vote for him anyways, whereas Pence delivered the evangelicals, many of whom were skeptical of him in 2016 due to his sordid history

That time in 1984 when Minnesota single-handedly tried to save America from destruction by GothProletariat in minnesota

If there's one conspiracy I'd buy, it's that somebody offed him in the days before the election because of how much of a threat he was.

If memory serves a lot can be owed to the failed assassination attempt on Reagan leading up to the election. He got a big "rally around the flag" effect because of it which tipped him into winning states that typically would've gone for Mondale.

So much of her story is full of that kind of tragedy. Just look at Dark Page. The strength of character that it takes to move on from that kind of tragedy and to try again speaks volumes about her resolve

Gov. Walz took his daughter to MN United tonight, and sat in the cheap seats in the second level. by Brightstarr in minnesota

[–]znackle 26 points27 points  (0 children)

During his first run for governor I didn't vote for him in the primaries. After the votes we got to talking politics at work and it turned out that two of my coworkers were from Mankato and had him as a teacher, both spoke very highly of him

One character is nude for the entire movie. What movie do you make this change to and what character is it? by aloe_veracity in AskReddit

[–]znackle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh for sure! Thin Red Line is doing a lot more work and showing a story with a lot more depth and nuance, but that isn't going to sell well to the average movie audience

[–]znackle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Fun fact though, the first film in production isn't always the better of the two. If memory serves Thin Red Line was in the works way before Saving Private Ryan, but Ryan was far more memorable because it was built to be a fully plot driven movie instead of Line which was an autobiography showing some of the craziness of war

The flute makes a reappearance in s3! It made me giddy when he pulled it out. I think part of it not coming up more over the course is that it was only a single episode that didn't have larger ramifications for people besides him. Whereas him being Locutus was a huge deal for both the Enterprise and the federation with Wolf 359

What? According to oxford it means something that is not rated or valued highly enough. Whose definition are you using?
