Small town government still works.

A bit over a month ago, I spoke to a commissioner about age limits on Kratom while protecting adult use access. Last night, they passed a resolution I played a role in. Democracy ain't dead yet.

According to the victim's attorney, the body camera captured the officer saying, “Do something, bitch,” before leaping out of the car and shooting her multiple times. Another officer asked, “Hey, what happened?” The first pointed to his camera, “Hey, don’t speak. You’re good”

Military families on day 9 of the shutdown lining up at the food bank

They continue to eviscerate the public health machinery that has quietly kept Americans, and others around the world, safe and healthy for decades.

When I saw this headline, my first thought was, I'll bet dollars to donuts that this is Universal Health Services. And it is.

UHS owns hundreds of for-profit behavioral health hospitals, most of which deliver substandard care, and many under DOJ investigation for fraud and patient abuse.

The Value of Engaging With Troops Deployed to U.S. Cities The recent deployments of servicemembers to U.S. cities give citizens a rare opportunity to bridge the civil-military divide.

"Rather than antagonize the servicemembers in their midst, citizens .. could instead seize this rare opportunity to bridge the civil-military divide with constructive, respectful, nonconfrontational conversations with them."

At the Broadview ICE detention center outside Chicago this afternoon, things are (relatively) calm.

A vet-organized protest is planned for 4-6pm. After 6, curfew is in place.

Masked agents enter the building. ~1 month ago we would've been able to photograph them from Beach St, but not anymore.

This Is How We Take On ICE and Trump’s Gestapo

Problem is that requires the US Attorneys Office to do so. Considering they are all in the tank for this, charges wont be very likely unless/until they kill someone and even then they will try to excuse it or lie about why.

ICE/Feds targeting a pastor in prayer outside their facility. Looks like they may have shot the pastor in the head and even with less lethal ammo, could easily be fatal. Truly insane where things have gotten.

More on how kratom is different batch to batch, why that is and that "strains" are largely just made up.

Kratom Strains Explained: Super Speciosa Reveals The Complete Truth About Vein Colors, Alkaloids, and What Vendors Won't Tell You Super Speciosa Explains the Science Behind Kratom Strains, Vein Colors, and Alkaloid Differences That Shape Product QualityMiami, Oct. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Disclaimer: This release is for info...

This is how completely bizarre the Kratom industry is. Company releases press release saying "strains" are made up marketing(largely true) and yet when you go to their website it still markets by strains.

Bay County Prevention Network Narcan box.

First day volunteering to drive other veterans to medical appointments and what do I see at the county hospital but free Narcan in the lobby.

#HarmReduction is a good thing.

This is great. The absurdity of this moment captured. Make it go viral.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

Arent the state troopers part of the national FOP, who also endorsed Trump?

Trump plan would limit disability benefits for older Americans Trump administration officials are considering eliminating age as a factor in deciding whether someone is capable of working.

The Trump admin is preparing a plan to make it harder for older Americans to get Social Security disability payments.

Officials are considering eliminating age as a factor in deciding whether or not someone is capable of working.

Hundreds of thousands of people could lose out.

That nonsense is still floating around?

The Protect and Serve propaganda broke a lot of brains.

Liberals watched cops brutalize people protesting police brutality for an entire summer and then decided cops should get more money. Now liberals watch ICE brutalize people protesting ICE brutality and decide they can't possibly be Real Cops.

‘I use cannabis as medicine’: the US basketball player facing execution in Indonesia over $400 of gummies Unlike his fellow basketball player, Brittney Griner, Jarred Shaw has received scant attention after being arrested for a drugs offence overseas When Jarred Shaw, an American basketball player in Indonesia, stepped down to the lobby in his apartment complex earlier this year to collect a package containing illegally imported cannabis gummies, he thought that the medicine to ease his Crohn’s disease had arrived. It had – but so too had 10 undercover police officers. A video on social media shows Shaw, wearing a black T-shirt and shorts, shouting for help as the swarm of officers move to apprehend him. The Indonesian National Police did not respond to a request for comment for this story. Continue reading...

‘I use cannabis as medicine’: the US basketball player facing execution in Indonesia over $400 of gummies

Yeah it seems like a number if government websites have had all sorts of propaganda placed in them(again?) to shift the blame anywhere but where it should be.

Now now. Im sure there is some blame for President Obama who is almost a decade out of office and his tan suit. Thats how this works right?

Here we are in another Republican government shutdown and my Rep is home doing photo ops instead of in D.C. trying to help working Americans.

I said for years that the only way to permanently reduce migration to the United States was to destroy the vision that the world had of this country as the land of opportunity.

That wasn't a goddam suggestion!

Kratom Is Marketed As A Wellness Product. For These Women, It Became A Nightmare The plant from Southeast Asia is wreaking havoc on a generation.

While I will always support keeping kratom legal, it absolutly needs to be better regulated and the public education about the risks that exist need to be far more clearly presented than are currently.

‘None of It Makes Any Sense’: New Details in the July 4 ICE Attack Show Holes in Feds’ Case Repeated changes to the official narrative after the July 4 attack have shrouded the investigation.

The Barbed Wire conducted an in-depth review of court records and statements thus far in the July 4 Prairieland case in which 17 people have been charged related to a shooting at an ICE facility — and found holes that call into question the government’s narrative.
