Oh, that's rich.

I wrote the following for Adam Smith. I can just cut and paste!

More blather. What has Congress done about every president's illegal war in my entire lifetime? Funded them. What will they do this time? Fund it.

BTW, give back that Palantir $, you warmonger.

My congressman "opposes" these strikes.

He's also the senior Democrat on Armed Services who takes money from Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, and Raytheon. He votes for every bloated defense budget that builds the bombs now falling on Tehran.

Feeling vindicated loses its bloom pretty fast.

An orchard where pistachi trees are being pruned

"Jorge" is pruning pistachios trees. He works 8 hrs/day, 40 hours a week. He earns CA minimum wage. "It’s difficult for me because last week when it rained, I didn’t work 2 days. My paycheck is going to be $264 short. I'm worried as I already barely making ends meet." #WeFeedYou

The number of times Congress has “declared war” in my lifetime? Zero.

"Saul" is hard at work in the Coachella Valley keeping the mango trees free of weeds. This is important as it prevents competition for essential water and nutrients that could effect future fruit yield. #WeFeedYou

The cat may be out of the bag. But in a just society (not ours) a lawsuit would see all the authors and creators become the very, very rich owners of the corporations that stole from them.

UPDATE: Mysteriously the day after advocates decided to register their disgust with the Mayor of Hunts Point for profiting off of the abduction of our neighbors, the City posted the agenda, cancelling the meeting!

"On February 27, 1942, the Seattle School Board accepts the resignation of 27 employees who are Americans of Japanese ancestry. The young women have been pressured to resign by the school district, which in turn has been pressured by a committee led by Esther Sekor, a Gatewood ... School mother."

That Palantir bribe hangs over your head, making your every protest against authoritarianism sound hollow. Give it back.

Being able to drive as ourselves and use the correct bathroom are essential to basic everyday life — they aren't privileges afforded to only people who aren't transgender.

We're suing the state of Kansas.

I forgot to mention the massive copyright theft involved as well.

Or you could just refuse to engage with a planet-destroying, misinformation-spreading, emotionally-disregulating technology being shoved down our throats.

It's testing the waters. "Is it okay to be a nazi yet? No? Okay, we'll wait a bit and try again later." That's why you gotta shut it down the first time. HARD.

Man accidentally gains control of 7,000 robot vacuums Sammy Azdoufal just wanted to steer his DJI Romo with a gaming controller.

"He soon discovered that the same credentials that allowed him to see and control his own device also provided access to live camera feeds, microphone audio, maps, and status data from nearly 7,000 other vacuums across 24 countries."
