I have insomnia because I stayed up too late getting ready for tomorrow which is now today. I'll only get like 6 hours of sleep max, but God damnit I certainly won't be unprepared.

Again, I’d like to encourage the people who think it’s a good idea to embrace a cruel and capricious dictatorship, while making it clear no legal or legislative authority can stop them from ruining ordinary people’s lives, to keep on reading to see what usually happens next.

The Crock Pot is one of the only times when real life works like video game crafting. You dump in some powders and the remains of several vile birds and out comes hot delicious food

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.Β

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

On June 6, 2025, the federal government initiated immigration raids across the City of Los Angeles. Protests swiftly followed, and some individuals involved in those protests were unruly and even violent. State and local law enforcement responded. The following day, President Trump ordered that members of the California National Guard be federalized, and thereupon assumed control of those forces.
At this early stage of the proceedings, the Court must determine whether the President followed the congressionally mandated procedure for his actions. He did not.
His actions were illegal-both exceeding the scope of his statutory authority and violating the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. He must therefore return control of the California National Guard to the Governor of the State of California forthwith.

And just a heads up this is Danelle Plaza in Tempe on Mill and Southern. Given the large amount of presence earlier, it'd still advise at-risk folks to be cautious in the area and if anyone sees these guys around, don't forget to send a tip to the Migra Watch Hotline: (480) 506-7437

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schoolsβ€”told staff they had β€œparental consent.”

They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

this speaks a bit to my argument about leaving twitter. it's not about ideological purity, it is about the fact that it's been turned into a political weapon for people who wish to use it to harm others. it's not the marketplace of ideas - you do not have to participate in this project! very simple!

if dems want messaging help, stop telling people you're "fighting back." it sounds like you're being mugged. call off the podcaster search, take your ridiculous money pile and try opening some food banks and free clinics. hurricanes are coming and the feds have no plan. looks like an opening to me.
