State funds that aren't allocated for federal revenue is what is used for police is my point.

I'm simply informing folks that states have their own funding for local police. It has nothing to do with federal departments such as ICE.

It's been a looooonnnnggg day and I couldn't care less what that bloviated sub human has to lie about for who knows how long. I will not look at anyone's posts that have something to do with it for at least a week until they hopefully stop talking about it.

It isn't a federal issue, it's a state issue

Stanford Scientists Cure Type 1 Diabetes in Mice Without Insulin or Immune Suppression An “immune system reset” eliminated autoimmune, or Type 1, diabetes in mice in a study conducted at Stanford Medicine. Researchers say the strategy could also have potential for treating other autoimm...

This one hits hard.

Itskerryrobertson posts: How to make billions with unlawful tariffs: Step 1: Be commerce Secretary Harry Lutnick. Push the tariffs publicly. Step 2: Have your family firm (Cantor Fitzgerald) buy refund rights from companies at pennies on the dollar. They paid $10M in tariffs? Pay them $2M now for the rights to that refund. Step 3: wait for the courts to strike the tariffs down. Step 4: Collect the full $10M refund. Pocket the difference. Step 5: Scale that across hundreds of billions in tariff revenue.

This happening under the guy who has repeatedly tried to tell Americans how great tariffs are using math that makes zero sense - he was just trying to get as many deals done as he could before they were overturned. Got it.

Omg, when you said, "This has been abseehrd," on BBC yesterday during the breaking hour of this, all I could think was, "the sums up everything since Nov 5, 2024 until now, sir." 🥴

It's actually a thing. Do it. (It's the only way I ingest bananas, tbh. The thought of banana milk makes me gag a little)

i'm watching spike lee's remarkable documentary FOUR LITTLE GIRLS and as much as i want to focus on the film i can't help but think about the people, with real power and influence, who want to take this country back to before birmingham

I do not like wind. It's very windy. I'm not thrilled.

Raw America (@rawstory) REVEALED: Clip from Mar-a-Lago shows guests enjoying entertainers at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club. These are the same people who complain about Super Bowl halftime shows. SUCH hypocrisy. Share widely!

The same folks who described Bad Bunny's halftime show as lewd, y'all

Today Buddhists observe Nirvana Day, the day of the Buddha's passing. It is a day to meditate, honor the ones you've loved and lost, & contemplate the inevitability of death & the transient nature of life. May the universe bring you peace on this day.

Los Angeles is already seeing the residual effects of what this horrid ICE mess is doing to the economy. Those of us who know what immigrants, documented or otherwise, contribute saw it coming(besides the PTSD, terrorism, displayed hatred, etc). This admin is blatantly stupid in so many ways.

I didn't have a "but". I appreciate your perspective & offered mine to try to help explain why state budgeting can leave some feeling what you are. I have a better understanding due to my background sometimes.

Balancing a budget for a state our size is ridiculously difficult. Costs need to be cut in areas where people feel the pain. I support the LGBTQIA+ community 100%, but folks need to educate themselves on issues & decisions made.²

I hear that 100%. Have you looked into why he did that? My experience with politics is that sometimes choices need to be made that people might not understand. (I'm not talking abt the podcast. That's a moot point, IMO, as it's simply self agrandization.) As a T1 diabetic I don't even get more¹

He's my governor & he's made plenty of mistakes but he's not the worst, IMO. There are quite a few that would be better, though.

A reminder: The Attorney General of the United States should be the people's lawyer, not the president's personal attorney. The Department of Justice should act to protect the public, not the occupant of the Oval Office and his political allies.

Judge Talwani says that DHS' view that noncitizens lack 4th amendment rights — combined with ICE use of administrative warrants — is a recipe for abuse.

He’s the stupid people’s President.

Here's the rub: Trump doesn't give a fuck. He loves the action of taking them down then feigning savior and knows not enough attention will be given to it so he won't get much backlash. Wah wah

The floof... the floofiness...the stare

No other words

The victims deserve having justice ANYWHERE, and the US is a massive disappointment for them. It's ridiculously shameful of the country I live in to keep this act of protection of the wealthy and powerful up.

It's Colorado
