The movie, "Locked," is doing something I didn't think possible: it has made me root for this old man's prostate cancer. He's such a bad-guy, such a new level of rich bastard that I'm actively hoping his cancer kills him faster so his type of evil is no longer hurting the world. (40 min in)

We have some good news in these dark times!
Narcisso Barranco, the father of three U.S. Marines, has been released from an ICE detention center in Adelanto, California.
I hope to see more releases and more families reunited.
Small steps lead to great victories.π₯
Please pass it on.

Quick question. There are still almost as many troops in LA right now as there were at the end of Afghanistan.
Why exactly?
Also where are the mass deportations of white illegals, like from Russia?

Cuomo, a man with multiple credible sexual assault allegations against him, was thoroughly trounced by Mamdani in the Democratic primary for NYC mayor.
Does he concede quietly? Of course not.

A lot of people get parenting autistic children wrong. And I'm going to explain how in the simplest of terms.
They think autistic kids need to learn how to tolerate things they find intolerable, because... "that's life." (1)

I cannot emphasize enough how true & real this is.
In almost anywhere on the political spectrum you ID with or major issue, thereβs probably a bot/troll operation to encourage your rage and vitriol.
