Prop 50 just put California Republicans on the endangered species list. 😂🤣

Everyone! Get out there & vote like it's your last chance to do so... Because it might be.

My prediction: the country is going to voice its disfavor of this regime & it's policies. The GOP will cry foul about election tampering & we'll have ICE & other feds "watching" (intimidating) the midterms.

And this just sums everything up, doesn't it? 😡

2 Illinois National Guard members speak out: "I won't turn against my neighbors" Staff Sgt. Demi Palecek and Capt. Dylan Blaha say they'll defy federal orders regarding Trump's immigration enforcement operation in Chicago.

We need more brave folks like this. I'd like to think I would've done the same if I were still in the ANG.

Darren behind an orchid with a surprised face.

I am not a plant person, but someone gifted me an orchid for my birthday and I have kept it alive for 16 days. Feeling pretty proud of myself.

Obviously I followed everyone immediately. Best starter pack ever!

At this point, no one should be surprised about this. Anyone pretending to be "shocked" is full or crap.

This is how you end up in the ghost brigades.

Same!

I feel like "Banana for Scale" could be the title of your next book. Would not surprise me at all.

So funny story, it's been released in the theaters as a singalong and I'm going with my kids this weekend. The tickets sold out super fast!

Secretary Haaland, there is actually sustainable water saving tech (a naturally sourced soil amendment) right in NM.

It works by increasing soil health; the microbes retain the water and release it to the plants over time.

Water is life... and microbial life is water.💧

We'd love to show you! 🌱

Breaking news: Water is wet!

I heard you can get rid of 100% of Teams tickets by getting rid of teams. 😏

Hope you're not using SharePoint btw. 😬

I enjoy your books immensely. Please stop trying to die.

Also, yum? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Please!

ICE Block “is not uploading your location at all, when you make a report that report isn’t associated with your device in any way, and there are no third party services that it talks to or sends data to,” EFF’s @cooperq.com told @404media.co.

Semi off topic, but am I the only one who would love to take their kids to a sing-a-long version in the theaters? How much fun would that be?

Fair point. Would not work as well in a social dance environment but would be fucking amazing for a choreographed dance. Makes me miss "So You Think You Can Dance" real bad.

Don't forget "Your Idol". It hits hard too!

Soooooo... Is it cool for a 45 year old dude to be obsessed with K-Pop Demon Hunters? 🎤🎶🥷👿

Asking for a friend. 🤷🏼‍♂️

This is written perfectly clear; and it specifically notes for due process: any "person" not any "citizen".

Deporting anyone without due process is illegal and unconstitutional.

Everyone involved in these illegal acts should be fully prosecuted from the top to the bottom.

4th of July is all about rebelling against a tyrannical government that doesn't care about the people it's supposed to serve.

So in order to honor this most sacred of traditions...
