20+ veterans commit suicide on average every single day and this has gone on for year after year. And the VA's priority is making sure you're not a bot before you are allowed help in a moment of the more serious kind of crisis.

The veteran suicide crisis chat option makes you complete a captcha challenge before being allowed to get help. What kind of dystopia are we living in? Is this real life?

I would go so far as to say “must do both” if someone wants to be intellectually congruent.

Getting rid of all social media except this space and going to old school news sources only at pre-negotiated times helps me some. It’s a bad reality show with extremely high stakes so it really is hard to look away.

Many options but probably Russia or Hungary at this moment in history.

This is how the media capitulates even absent direct threat. Keep Dear Leader happy and focused elsewhere.

100% there will be an “election.” Just like there was an “election” in 2024.

So he was trying to take out the driver and missed so badly that he hit the allegedly undocumented humans in the back?

Violence "against" ICE? So someone was so upset with ICE they planned an attack using a long rifle and went so far as to write "anti-ICE" on the bullet casings but shot three allegedly undocumented humans while no ICE agents were harmed? Joe, you don't feel silly calling this "violence against ICE"?
