What does "tough on crime" actually mean? To some people, it means "Reducing the murder rate, reducing the robbery rate, and making the streets safer."âĽď¸đđż To other people, it means "Intimidating, harassing, and shooting more innocent Black people." Which ironically, makes the murder rate go up. đđ
A comfortable life used to be the American Dream. Not being a financial mogul. Not fighting for the top spot on the food chain. Working to get your share of the pie with the whip cream on top. Grabbing enough food to fill your plate, but leaving plenty on the table for others. Letâs do that again.

Itâs a distraction from Epstein survivors on 9/3
The biggest thing about Trump's absence from public view is that Rep. @rokhanna.bsky.social will be holding a press conference tomorrow with many Epstein victims. Trump was Epstein's bestie.
WATCH: âSUBSTANTIVE representation matters.â @symonedsanders.bsky.social tells Dan Koh the women held out as examples of Trump *empowering* women (Susie Wiles, Kristi Noem) donât actually have any power. Full #PeoplesCabinet episode: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XHt...

Reminder: All people are born with promising futures. If men like Brock Allen Turner or Candon Dean Dahle ruin theirs by harming women and/or children and courts donât hold them fully accountable, we must remind each other who they are to help keep our communities safe.

Also, repeating one of my early viral posts on this site: Parents do not have rights. Parents have responsibilities. CHILDREN have rights.
Transphobes would have a lot less reach on here if everyone stopped arguing with them and quoting their posts to dunk on them, they don't give a rat's ass about your arguments and enjoy wasting your time.
Heâs just another poster boy for the most hated DEMOGRAPHIC in America, entitled white man.
In that case, keep on keeping on. Speaking the truth threatens the status quo and brings out those who fear change or those who profit from the status quo.
Was Candon Dean Dahle spared every punishment he deserved because of his âpromising futureâ? What about his victimâs promising future or his NEXT victimâs promising future? â¨May this follow him forever.⨠Candon Dean Dahle should be outed in every corner of his life every day. Say his name.
When you say âhatersâ are you referring to your Mom? Asking for a friend.
They see his lies as a schtick, like a comedian. They think heâs just exaggerating a truth. But ultimately they donât care about ANY of the underlying subjects.
Was he spared every punishment he deserved because of his âpromising futureâ? What about his victimâs promising future? What about his NEXT victimâs promising future? Spare the community this walking threat. â¨May this follow him forever.⨠He should be outed in every corner of his life forever.
This to the Nth degree.
Thank you. I appreciate that.
Iâm starting something new. Itâs always exciting. Knitting makes me happy. #knit 𧜠This yarn is: Ballyhoura Fibres NSW Merino fingering in the Exmoor NP colorway
âConcernedâ & âalarmedâ but were still waiting to see if sheâs âlearned her lessonâ.
Knitting I use mattress stitch. For crochet the quickest and prettiest is the single crochet join but for a mid project join change, Iâd use one of the other seaming techniques in the attached video. m.youtube.com/watch?v=M8Sk...

Oh dang! I will be in Buenos Aires the week youâre coming to California. As part of the Dogshirt TV family, any other week I wouldâve been there. đŤśâ¨ Next time.
Damn right
Insane or simply monsters
This president has never believed any laws or moral codes of conduct apply to him.
Sounds like heâs part of the âEff you, got mineâ crowd. People who think that way donât deserve to be leaders.
Totally
⢠Closed-minded, ⢠Chooses to experience life through internet rabbit holes, ⢠Afraid all the time, ⢠Feels inferior to everyone, ⢠Wonât seek out mental healthcare, ⢠Thinks theyâre an American patriot.
Thank you, Jean. Knitting is my meditative mental health hobby. đŤśâ¨
I hear itâs show me your knits - sweater week. Iâve made lots of sweaters but these are the two most intricate. The pink is Bowie by Lisa Richardson and the taupe is Ariadne by Maria Molodova. #knit đ§ś
A perfect bouquet.
Perfect
#Grief note: Please remember that grief has no typical timeline. My son died two years ago. I will never be healed from losing him. My children will never be over losing their brother. We are a close family. We understand the depth of our collective loss. We are grateful for our years together.
Can we just tell them to STFU every time they speak? They are either whining about how theyâre being wronged or theyâre complaining about someone else doing something they do all the time. No self-awareness. I just canât anymore.
How self-serving of him. In this one post I can see you. I wish your dad understood you and nurtured you.
In a world of increasing scams, we really need a way of verifying that banks are who they say they are when they call you. (Otherwise there's that v awkward: "We need to verify you" "Prove you are who you say you are first" "Sorry, we can't talk about your account without verifying you" standoff.)
JD Vance is a knob and doesnât believe a word out of his own mouth.
He is unconcerned with the wellbeing of people outside his bubble. He is literally building compounds for his people to thrive in the post apocalyptic times.
After 9/11 my mom woke up every morning watching FOX News to see if something terrible happened overnight. Doing this for decades brainwashed her. We are being taken on a similar path with every damned day revealing more curated horrible deeds done by monsters in power. We must fight RIGHT NOW.
âEveryone deserves relationships built on respect, safety, and genuine careâand sometimes the healthiest choice is also the hardest.â
Wise words, both the article and your comment. đŤśâ¨
Bingo. It grates on my soul when people say (and believe) things like that.
âWeâre going to pretend itâs not the guns, the Republican Party, and white male frailty.â
If empathy is a sin, then sin boldly.
Any White person that tells Black people to be patient in their pursuit of justice is an enemy. This tactic has been used to delay our progress for centuries. Itâs a tell-tell sign they are attempting to pacify you, rather than become an ally in our cause.

Cave to a bully and he comes back for more.
QUARTERLY REMINDER: Never EVER talk to policeâespecially without a lawyer present. If you encounter cops who demand information other than what can be gleaned from your ID card, you are to clearly, calmly assert your right to counsel, then KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT. I'm serious, folks. Especially now.
Petty man-child is giddy with the power to exact revenge on everyone who doesnât gush over his *perceived* superiority over all.
I can see that. Just living a good life, can render us unafraid of death.
So many court jesters in one group given an audience with the kingâŚ
Question: For anyone who has experienced the death of a child, do you fear death? I do not fear it. Shortly after my son died, my daughter had a dream where my son said to me, Itâs okay, Mom. Itâs not a big deal. Everyone is going to do it (die).
Sending them into urban neighborhoods in camo uniforms is classic. Our government is such a joke.
I hope his parents in a HUGE settlement. ChatGBT does not discern or evaluate the ramifications of its responses. AI, in my estimation, is the epitome of the âgarbage in, garbage outâ concept.
Funny how the big bruise has been on his hand for months but no mark was on his ear days after the PA thingy.
Itâs a perfect pet project for this First Lady. Garbage in, garbage out.
They are the opposite of astute, having no idea about the beauty of California.

Iâve already received two mailers opposing the redistricting measure. Theyâve gone in the trash immediately. They were ridiculously hypocritical saying gerrymandering is wrong no matter who does it.
No need to disparage little girls or any child crying. Big Balls is a whiny soft white man-child bully. He should be ashamed.
Every dictator in history has claimed that theyâll only use their powers to go after the worst of the worst. Every dictator in history has lied. Donald Trump is no different.
We can for sure burn that thing whatever it is, itâs not an American flag.
Following now. Thx
Wow. Thatâs beautiful.
Right?! Height doesnât matter. Consider: Everyoneâs the same height when laying down.
Itâs wild how much hate is built on a bad translation of an ancient book â a book full of contradictions that people still let rule their lives. Religion isnât saving us. Itâs hurting us. đłď¸âđđĽ
An oblivious entitled driver blocked a lane in an intersection. When our light was green and we proceeded into our lane, she aggressively honked at us and nearly hit us. We both calmly rolled down our windows and flipped her off without a word. Onlookers were supportive. Entitled people suck.
Spot on.
The pain and injury-inspired paint choice on our side represents the dark hearts ruling the USA.
Yes, but this is the only social media platform Iâm willing to use because I refuse to voluntarily support oligarchs. Iâve downgraded my expectations and seek out other posts that discuss subjects Iâm thinking about.
I agree. I see the same 20-40 accounts no matter which feed Iâm looking at unless I seek out to find posts from people I follow.
I just came across the San Jose Police department incident card for the day my son died, 4/15/23. Thereâve been several SJPD incident cards in my life, I briefly wondered what this one was for until I looked at the date. Ugh. Life hits hard sometimes. #grief
Youâve not provided data for ANY claim youâve made in this thread. Therefore, you donât understand anything. /end
Youâre willfully ignorant, lazy, and looking for a fight. Have you heard back on you application for a job with ICE?
Bingo.
Okay then, whereâs your proof that the data doesnât exist? Make your âargumentâ armed with YOUR evidence rather than demanding others spoon feed you.
Since this isnât a court of law, there isnât a burden to shift. Do your own work and donât own a gun because youâre too immature to understand the risks.
HmmâŚif only we each had devices where we could read the findings of reliable research to understand how guns in the home affect the safety of people in that same home. Why ask someone else to answer that question for you?
A better measure of the American economy would be how the bottom 30% are doing in the supermarket, rather than how the top 10% are doing in the stock market.
I hope the players refuse to come. Fans will not be safe here. They will be targeted for kidnapping, detention, and deportation.
American policing: âTo serve and protectâ Weâve always misinterpreted that phrase to mean serving & protecting the public. True meaning all along: To serve the rich. To protect their assets. THAT must change.
Of fucking course they did. Heâs the most successful crime boss in American history.
Miller is a soulless unplayable character with power to bully an entire country. The Epstein files matter to all people, old and young.
Grief note: I frequently replay the moment I found my son dead in his bed. Itâs a traumatic event that plays in a loop in my head at random moments. My new therapist suggested that I write down everything I can remember about the experience to get it out of my head. #grief
I love this idea.
Nothing like consequences for oneâs actions. đ
Have a great time!
Letâs be clear. The Black Lives Matter movement tried to warn you people about U.S. law enforcementâwe told you cops are full-blown militarized terrorists of Black communities. Police do NOT protect us. Their complicity in the recent ICE terrorism is 1 example. You shouldâve goddamn listened to us.
I stand with Rep. Nicole Collier. What kind of authoritarian country do we live in where legislators are assigned officers who monitor their location and follow them?? We have to fight authoritarianism with our collective power. #texas #democracy #resist www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Without question, the hardest working people I have ever knownâŚare immigrants. Itâs not even close. They put most of us to shame when it comes to work ethic and commitment to family. They are everythingâŚDonald TrumpâŚis not.
My fixation with her right arm having something like a foot attached to it and his bald eagle type hooked nose means Iâm not the target audience.
In a functioning democracy, a president openly advocating for war as a means to suspend elections so he can preserve his own power would see breathless crisis coverage from the media and people taking to the streets.
My hero! Of course, he's correct.
