Just an old gal

There is so much, and too much.

After 45 years of supplying free cattle feed from distillery leftovers, Jack Daniel’s is cutting the program and livestock farmers in TN fear for their livelihoods. JD is partnering with an energy company instead who will pay for the runoff. Who can afford generosity anymore?

Donald Trump is plotting to cut Social Security benefits for older Americans — after he promised during the campaign that he wouldn’t touch Social Security.

We must call it out and stop these cuts.

I’ve been thinking about how US media (on all sides of the political spectrum) have been on a tear for decades now radicalizing the public (there is no other word for it but radicalizing) against the very idea of universities.
The NYT, the Atlantic, WSJ, it’s been a concerted decades-long effort.

This guy was facing such an imminent threat that he even had time to take off his rifle and sling it over his back. Six seconds. I don't think he was dealing with an imminent threat.

People paid for the streets. They have a legal right to be there.

The Supreme Court just took legal status from 300,000 Venezuelans Justice Jackson accuses her colleagues of "repeated, gratuitous, and harmful interference."

The Supreme Court’s Republican appointees let the Trump administration end the legal status of 300,000 Venezuelan immigrants who were granted Temporary Protected Status, a type of humanitarian relief for people whose home countries are in crisis.

2 Teen Girls Died In a Hit-And-Run. Another Teen Faces Murder Charges.

The word for these horrendous murders is femicide, death by misogyny. The U.S does not keep accurate statistics of femicide. If it did, the numbers would terrify.

Image depicting the following: @cultura_movement Image of combat gear clad, masked, cowardly, ethnic cleansing ICE agents in a street with their vehicles, which have flashing red and blue lights going.

'They had the Black people in one van, and immigrants in another van,' said witness.

If we're going to talk about Terrorism in the US, perhaps we should take a look at the facts of what is occurring.

What group is causing the greatest harm? What group is using tactics of *terror*? What group is clearly displaying all the aspects of Fascism?

There is a lot of evidence to see.

A military-style operation is taking place outside the Broadview ICE facility in Illinois, featuring snipers stationed on rooftops and armored vehicles on the streets. Protesters are reportedly being abducted and vanished, signaling authoritarian repression in this Chicago suburb.

Good for Judge Immergut (as I said in another thread, i was appellate counsel in a trial in front of her and had a good impression)

It might be time to plug in my landline.

Gavin Newsom: “He’s trying to rig the election. Period, full stop. In plain sight. Wake up everybody. He is wrecking this democracy. This is about authoritarianism. He doesn’t believe in the rule of law. He belives in the Rule of Don.”

Violent thugs are terrorizing Americans and they were sent by the White House.

Mark Kelly: “lf you are undocumented in our country, you cannot get healthcare from the Affordable Care Act exchange. You are not eligible for Medicare. You are not eligible for Medicaid. They’re just making that up. They just like to blame brown people.”

Judge Immergut quotes James Madison from the
Records of the Federal Convention of 1787: “A standing
military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty. The
means of defence [against] foreign danger, have been always the instruments of tyranny at

All the videos we see of ICE/police/military assaulting people on camera are happening because they know they will face no consequences for their actions. They're breaking the law because they believe the law no longer applies to them. What kept them in check before was fear. Now they have none.
