Retired. Into science, environment, climate, literature, Proportional Representation, Esperanto, science fiction & fantasy... More interested in "policy" than "politics" -- but nonetheless prefers "woke" over "zombie". "Live & learn, or die an idiot."

There were no laws broken, this is all theatre - but what happens when they find a way to get a Grand Jury to go along with their BS?

It's not about finding lost dogs.

(And on top of that, it turns out it's pretty bad at finding those lost dogs.)

Did you see this today?

Anti #ICE protesters carried a MASSIVE U.S.
Constitution through the streets of Minneapolis.
Not a flag.
Not a slogan.
The Constitution.
Thousands marched, demanding accountability and asking whether federal enforcement is aligning with the rights written on those pages.

β€œvery clearly & very vocally, suffered a wide range of mental illnesses & neurodivergences, which they talked about quite a bit on different platforms,”

There’s nothing further to see here - a person with mental health issues and access to guns, combined with a history of system failures

Experts 'don't buy' online claims Tumbler Ridge shooter a far-right sympathizer With far-right ideology called into question, what do we know about what drove the shooter to mass murder?

In the aftermath of the Tumbler Ridge shooting, the shooter's trans identity has prompted disinformation the BC Human Rights Commissioner called "incorrect, irresponsible and frankly dangerous."

But other rumours have pinned the shooter's motive on far-right ideology β€” an explanation experts doubt.

This all started with Reagan cutting taxes on the rich and democrats have never had the nerve to bring it back up to 90% to pay off our debts. The rich use this country to make money but don’t feel obligated to pay for that privilege. Most of them pay 2-3% while we pay 15% +. Bonkers

Pregnant patients in Minnesota have postponed abortion appointments to avoid ICE Planned Parenthood’s no-show rate has gone up almost 10 percent since the federal government’s Minnesota operation began.

Pregnant immigrants in Minnesota have been postponing their abortions, skipping aftercare, and delaying birth control visits and urgent cancer screening follow-ups to avoid coming in contact with federal immigration agents.

Some women belong in prison

Somehow it’s worked without ’papers’ for centuries. Now there’s a voting crisis.

Two points:

Damn near everything is a crisis in the U.S. (ex A half time show).

These crises are wholly manufactured. (Voting fraud is one grain of sand in the Sahara).
