Will check it out
Vance will pick up the baton.
Once again, Border Patrol tells the press this was a targeted kidnapping, yet they took a man who is legally here & in the immigration process. This shows that it was not a targeted investigation as they claimed. Press must stop printing lies. apnews.com/article/immi...
My libertarian cousin wants a ten percent tax taken out of your pay, no deductions, no need to file. I assume he wants a cap as he thinks he's one of the elite.
It was too late, the data was already scraped. And he was expected to keep quiet and violate the regulations he was hired to monitor.
I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.
I'm doing the same with HRT cream from Canada. Pfizer product on Cuban's site is $432, identical stuff online from a Vancouver company is $107. Got bad news there though, after tariffs hit it'll be over $200. Still a crazy better deal.
The minority has to move? Not practical. Wait until the changes hit harder and then see if the spell is broken? Impossible to know from this vantage point in time.
Tell me how to get away with not paying the IRS? Not interested in liens, judgements and other annoying responses they have in their tool bag.
But wait, most blue states' rural areas remain Republican and some are MAGA. How do we orchestrate that?
Just in time for her book tour

It's all a reality TV show for him.
Or, he's lying.
We went off the cliff in November 2016 and we're still falling through the air. This is one long terrible nightmare.
I ask myself this every damn day. Yesterday I had to take a news and phone break. Watch some kids on floaties.
Liz C and Adam K should be checking into pied a terres in Quebec or Toronto.... noting Tim Snyder and his spouse got out already. It's the Spite Administration.
When he isn't vacationing.
Everything in this event has been sycophantic nonsense and officials lying repeatedly about what's happening in DC, but this part is actually newsworthy. Trump is saying he intends to send the National Guard to other cities after LA and DC. Not hypothetically.
FIFA trophy 🏆 I believe, I don't follow sports
😂
Needs all the space for that insane concept he's touting.
He seems pretty arrogant to me right now.
this is why i tell people to try ready-to-wear first. custom is risky bc you can be out here railing against "white hippies and communists," but your tailor has you looking crazy without a breast pocket.
That's to keep it fresh. Forever.
The Bloviator in Chief isn't going to grasp it, but Putin will.
📌Consider where we are in our nation's history: European prime ministers and presidents are urgently flying into the United States to oppose the actions of its unstable authoritarian leader.
Standard fake, didn't even need AI.
He was thinking, "What's bigger than Epstein? Why, fixing the Russia Ukraine situation, and winning the Nobel! He's not firing on all four cylinders.
And the 2028
Walking the soybeans.
And raise the cap on social security, too.
It got Trump's hair right, so that's something.
I voted for Budio TWICE! 😂
Good read.
I was a 2020 census enumerator. It's all done on iPhones now so based on Tim Cook's recent WH appearance, I'd have to agree.
We can't get anything right, can we? Short term thinking, toxic capitalism.
This, of course, comes after Tim Cook personally donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration fund. Since then Apple has received tariff exemptions. We're witnessing blatant crony capitalism. www.theverge.com/news/737757/...
We did it in the rural NY Town of Gorham, Ontario County! Two slots open for town council members, two Democrats now on the ballot. Last time a Democrat ran for this position: we think 1997.
Wut no cats in heat?
Probably getting better nutrition, too.
Hadn't their elite decamped to Constantinople by then? I'm a little foggy on that historical timeline.
And the plastics, don't forget plastic.
Next investment - drone? We have a neighborhood gent who's making lost pet rescue a paying gig.
Now I'm thinking about my countertops. 🤢
Fascism is expensive.
Give me a one way ticket to Wicken, wherever it may be.
Puddin - was he portly when you got him, or did he grow into the name?
You're in Dad joke territory sir
It's all down to how many billionaires each side has.
Yes but state election law may preclude gerrymandering, and if you try it in my state of NY you get sued and then a Special Master is appointed who is a total loose cannon. It quickly turns into a cluster.
You aren't, it may seem bigger to you than what others perceive. Slower still wins. I ran into an old friend who said, 'still writing?' and I was 'erm not so much'. So I get it!
My interpretation of the email I received was: smarmy attempt to get seniors to see him as caring about their welfare. I took it as propaganda.
He's hitting up everyone 65 and over.
Replaced Mike Waltz, so the trend is going lower in the barrel.
At least, this particular iteration of Earth ...
A co candidate and I are on the ballot for spots on the town council in November. First Democrats to run since 1997 in a very Republican township. Also, getting out in nature
No one can be truly free in a society considered by many to be unjust. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns. Our job — the responsibility of all who seek a just society and a decent world — is to move as far as possible away from hateful violence, toward social justice.
Send me two or three of them and I'll see if I can leave the list in a drawer forever.
Even if you ignore the usefulness of the product for the people who need it - we had offers of money, or to take it away for free. Yet the US will PAY to incinerate it. If you are a fiscally responsible Republican, doesn't this seem wrong on that basis alone? Insane.
Just a thought: what if we stopped measuring the economy by the state of the stock market and started measuring it based on how many people are housed and clothed and fed? https://youtu.be/tFjoDq0HfFw?si=vtbE2QNmXskvutjF
And she's an excellent writer.
What began as a furious diatribe titled I’m Tired of This Shit turned into something else entirely,a reckoning with despair, a return to purpose, and a reminder that hope is a choice. The Light That Remains is the story I should’ve told that morning. I’m telling it now. My newest SubStack article
I'm at a loss for words for you. Stay aware of your local developments? Build a social network of friends and relatives IRL that can help you if things get worse? 😔 Offset anxiety with actions, even small ones.
Wired is doing excellent work. I'll check it out.
Yeah, eventually your neighbor who's unhappy about your barking dog will be able to turn you in. Right now, they're going after the unhoused who are disturbing to the DC tourists.
So here in NY State that is the system as well. I have a relative with mental health issues and we just notified the local MH agency we need help and they are sending out a caseworker. Unfortunately the regime installed in Washington now is cruelty based. I dread the progression.
Perhaps... Def no trial. I believe his 'health will decline' whether it's actually true or not. Saves face, keeps the base calm. Behind the scenes must be fascinating right now.
They do. They were abused and in a couple instances I've read, the follow up to the victims was 'your performance was awful'. Adding profound mental abuse to the physical violation of children. Evil.
Narcissist is not mentally capable of tendering a resignation. They will have to oust him somehow.
Yes - I walked away from a 40 yr friendship because she got into the deportation of ALL immigrants and wouldn't even listen to counter arguments. Nope.
The photos of him with his young daughter make my skin crawl.
All of it
We do have some lowly worms, but they're nowhere near as cute.
Today is the 5 year anniversary to when I slowly started losing my mind during the pandemic and began dressing up as works of art. As my Twitter account has long been abandoned, why not make a thread of my madness on BlueSky? This was “The Maid” by Wilhelm August Lebrecht Amberg, from 1862
Flagged for shredding, more like it. Durbin is naive.
He's not working alone. We have a whole cadre of evil henchmen and women to overcome.
Blueberry season is upon us.
I'm not sure how I ended up following this account but it lifts my spirits every time I see a post.

This is what integrity looks like.
Demented like a fox. This guy has one skill, and it's undiminished: Slipping out from under responsibility.
Leopards ate his face, as they say.
How many phone calls came in, telling him what to do? Guy is not operating in a vacuum.
Close some doors, save some cleaning. Although, we entertain solely as a reason to bring the house and yard up to standards.
Robert you do great work every day but sometimes it must feel like screaming into the void.
Americans have really got to unlearn the propagandist indoctrination that socialism is bad. It means that everyone has what they need, resources are shared, and we care for the earth & those around us. We've been taught to hate it so capitalists can keep exploiting us and working us to death.
I'll counter this with several instances of large Agri business farmers in our area supporting their employees, paying well and trying to keep them on staff legally. They need their workers and treat them accordingly. (My husband is a solo farmer.)
They didn't think they're servants, they believe they're henchmen. And, that there will be rewards.
-A living wage -Guaranteed healthcare -The right to join a union -The right to vote -The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family -The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence These are the foundations of real freedom.
I will add they are also racist and are spitefully welcoming deportations.
Because the effect won't be immediate, the base won't make the connection.
The trump voters I know are mostly just dense. They watched the Apprentice and believed it was real. Rural central NY.
Anyone still quibbling that this isn't fascism?
Right? It's oppressive. Some of it is the legislation being pushed, but it feels like more than that.
Should have secured the 'nip.
Thank you!
I still miss the kinetic feel of a rotary dial landline phone. And the sound it made. 😂
