Never thought I'd have to give a client informed consent about exercising 1st Amendment rights, but here we are.

If you send your brownshirts into a majority Latino, pro-immigrant, activist city, I'm honestly not sure what you expect.

Fuck ICE. No state or local resources to help those fascist assholes.

So the cause is either unchecked capitalism or unchecked capitalism.

Bipartisanship with Nazis is complicity.

Billionaire Frank McCourt's Project Liberty bids for TikTok ahead of Supreme Court arguments The internet advocacy group's proposed purchase would bring TikTok under American ownership and prevent it from being banned in the U.S.

Ask any Dodgers fan how amazing Frank McCourt will be at running TikTok.

In the middle of all the fires this week, we at least had a good laugh at how stupid some of these spectators are. 7% of people took a position Palisades would be contained the day after it started.

Please support Watch Duty. They operate as a charity and provide an amazing public good.

It’s almost as if journalists will leave platforms censoring them.

Besides firefighters, the only thing truly delivering during the LA fires is the Watch Duty appβ€”an amazing public good. Subscriptions are $25/year, and they're a charity. Please give them a few bucks.

A screenshot of a New York Times update that says: In Grand Central Terminal, Leon Chang, 26, of Brooklyn, said he had not heard of congestion pricing and asked what it was. When explained it was a toll for cars entering Manhattan, he then asked β€œWhat do you mean? What is a car?” Walking outside, we showed him a vehicle parked on the street. He gently touched the hood of the car. β€œYou wish to forbid these majestic beasts from entering the city,” he said in a wistful tone. β€œIt is a folly of man. The desire to tame the world around us.”
