Yikes! I was actually eyeing the protein powder at Whole Foods (I’m a tool). Good thing it was prohibitively expensive. I guess I’ll never reach peak performance. *sigh*

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

That’s an insane amount of money.

I deleted Disney+
The mouse is out of the house.

I wish we still lived in the country that you think we do

Listen, they know they're hypocrites. They get a kick out of it. It's a power trip and yet another way to own the "libs" (meaning anyone to the left of Mussolini). Everybody knows they're hypocrites. Pointing out their hypocrisy is not the gotcha some of us seem to think it is.

It's still over a month away, but there's gonna be protests all over the country again, so a good thing to do if you can.

I'm glad to see so many people proudly proclaiming violence is never acceptable. With so many ppl on board it should take no time to get rid of all the armies and weapons and jails. I'm so glad we've entered a new age where the vast middle ground has decided that violence is unacceptable, full stop.

It’s an absolute shame that DC fired Gretchen Felker- Martin for exercising free speech and then @bsky.app suspended her account. Every writer here should be decrying this because we have to stand up for each other! This is ridiculous.

Charlie Kirk is Coke, and Ezra Klein is Pepsi. In a battle for the hearts and minds of consumers/voters. That is, until someone challenges the primacy of soda in the American diet. Then it's a Coke/Pepsi love fest.

I know no one will see this as I am just a l’il ol’ plankter in a big blue sea, but:

The political class are all friends. When things like this happens they make that public; liberal politicians and talking heads declaring their friendship with ppl whose politics are supposedly anathema to theirs.

Et tu Ezra?

Liberal politicians if you are so disturbed just pretend Charlie Kirk was a Palestinian child and you’ll get over it in no time

Such a beautiful day. Glad to be alive. #Blessed
