“Mum felt ill on the hill climb. She was asked to head down, unescorted.” WTF?!?!

We have become a Halloween destination neighborhood! Glad I overbought bc apparently I didn’t!

Halloween from
Down Under

I love Kangaroos
Just had to share
(sound up) 🎃🤣

A friendly reminder that if you’re passing out candy and someone comes to your door, you give them candy!

No costume? No problem!
Teenager? No problem!
No eye contact? No problem!

If that bothers you, remember the spirit of this night is bribing people to not egg your house. Roll with it!

Current struggle: nap or writing of overdue unit plans?

Opening border enforcement to criminals and cartel members.

This feels illegal.

Read this, thought it was about The Diplomat, then realized.

Ou God damn that's some top-tier racist dog whistling.

Holy shit.

Love

My god, this woman looks like she’s dressed up in a “Karen“ costume for Halloween

I don’t do the philosophy of migration in a consequentialist register, but it maddens me when those who do bang on about the potential harms of “open borders” while seemingly oblivious to the harms of closing them: deaths, massive enforcement costs, intrusive surveillance, thwarted opportunities

Bunnicula!!

One of the most self-defeating things liberals do is pay more attention to big name high status outlets than to what’s happening locally. I say this as someone who does this myself, and I think it’s linked to formal education and professional-class priorities, and social media doesn’t help

The risks of letting Trump become the military paymaster Trump will demand their loyalty in return

If you are a federal employee with a gun, Trump will find a way to pay you even if he has no money for that purpose.
If you depend on SNAP, he will use the shutdown as an excuse not to pay you, even though they have money specifically for that purpose.

It is not “doxxing” to track *federal vehicles while they are being used for work purposes*, which is what activists are doing. ICE/DHS swap out or remove license plates and kidnap people while masked and wout identifying themselves.

The people yearn for (democratic) socialism (this one will make you cry)

Undocumented immigrants have an arrest rate of 613 per 100,000.

CBP agents have a self-reported arrest rate of 1%. There are 62,400 agents. So CBP agents have an arrest rate about 1.63 times that of undocumented immigrants, assuming these are correct.

Truth.

I take your point, and didn’t express myself well. What I mean is, even when faced with a choice that is equally bad in some ways, there may well be a meaningful difference in other ways.

That said I absolutely think it’s on parties and candidates to court voters, not to take them for granted.

Also today, more bullshit charges against protesters and organizers.

he is willing to back burner trans rights but he won’t actually make attacking trans ppl central to his administration. It’s a shitty difference, and I will absolutely campaign against him in the primary but it’s a difference that matters if it comes down to it.

I hesitate to wade in but: the differences are that one, no one is *only* queer. Queer ppl are also humans who need Medicare, or food stamps, or DACA, etc. And two, Newsom is pandering (& maybe a genuine homophobe)…

Almost certainly not.

Here is the thing. They. Will. Not. Wait. For. “Civil unrest”. Or for “protests” or “rallies”. They will provoke a situation *in order to crack down*. They’re already doing this, and many of the “attacks on officers” claims are getting thrown out in court. So they are escalating into using military
