Newport residents, leaders denounce possible ICE detention facility At a packed community meeting in Newport, along Oregon’s central coast, residents gathered to express a mix of confusion, frustration and anxiety about the relocation of a U.S. Coast Guard rescue helicopter – and the federal immigration enforcement outpost that could take its place.

Gotta be a bunch of nervous, powerful dudes in the world right now.

An exciting moment β€” and long overdue, especially for the 800,000+ Arizonans who went without representation in Congress for weeks because of House Republican leadership.

We’re happy to have you in the fight, Adelita!

One horrific thing to me is that the president- a man who has gotten away with everything including literal murder up to this point- seems extremely nervous about anything regarding Epstein coming out. Like how bad does it have to be

I read quite a lot. I should share my list of recent books that have been really informative or entertaining.

City/rural divides make me think: Humans. All those years of evolution and philosophy and we still can’t get over our in-group/out-group tribalist shit.

We really need some Schoolhouse Rock for adults. Bring it back as a series of ads running in primetime and as PSAs at the start of every video on YouTube and every streaming show or movie.

While we’re at it, Bill Nye the Science Guy vignettes also could run. Maybe some soothing clips of Bob Ross.

Rents plus he should ask his buddy Bezos about what online shopping has do to brick-and-mortar retail. Someone should really introduce Grandpa Dumbass to this thing we call β€œliving in reality.”

Can the fabulously rainbow-sprinkled cake also be in the shape of a bag of dicks, so she can now most assuredly eat a bag of dicks? Please and thank you. πŸ˜πŸ’š

Repeat after me:

The Mike Johnson shutdown
The Mike Johnson shutdown
The Mike Johnson shutdown

Someone really needs to get this dude a copy of β€œExtreme Ownership.”

He leads the House? Then he owns the shutdown. Periodt.

Not every Xer’s parents were boomers. Some were in the silent generation.

Yeah, but if anyone’s gonna clean up the mess after the Red Menace, it’d be an Xer.

Supreme Court issues emergency order to block full SNAP food aid payments The Supreme Court has granted the Trump administration’s emergency appeal to temporarily block a court order to fully fund SNAP food aid payments amid the government shutdown.

WTF is wrong with SCOTUS?!

(That’s a rhetorical question.)

People want more affordable health insurance, not a savings account.

This is just a Republican bait-and-switch to repeal Obamacare for the 70th time.

Let’s get serious β€” extend the health care tax credits and open the government.

This. Also, just talk to people. Ask questions. Especially strangers. I read something a while back about that being good for you and them, health-wise/mental health-wise. Just exchanging a few words. The simple act of positively acknowledging another’s presence is what did it.

Something I really appreciate about this platform: the feed is still chronological instead of algorithmic.

Oh and I’ve read a few books lately touching on tech and social media, most recently β€œCareless People.” Zuckerberg really is a vile and sorry excuse for a person, and Meta’s inner workings sounds like a goddamned cult.

And by β€œwe the people,” I mean it’s not getting done at a federal level any time soon, so we need to get after it on the state and local level.

The sooner we the people take on big tech, regulate it, break it up, dissolve the Meta cult, and oust Zuckerberg and the lot, the better the world will be.
