"Former SCOTUS Justice Robt Jackson captured the danger > 80 yrs ago, wrote, “(T)he existence of a military power resting on force, so vagrant, so centralized, so necessarily heedless of individuals, is an inherent threat to liberty” ⬇️

The danger of letting a delusional president send troops to American cities

The president is operating on outdated information, fantasies, and a lust for power.

This idiot keeps bragging about the 20 hostages being released in another country while he's kidnapping thousands of people a day here in America.

Fuck him and the fascism he rode in on.

So, racial gerrymandering violates the Constitution but political gerrymandering is fine.

SCOTUS stinks like raw fish on an hot summer’s day dock.

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.

Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

Microsoft is gawd awful but some people like what they’re used to using. It’s that simple.

Chaiah @chaiah.bsky.social · 14h

Here’s the point - people do pay because it’s convenient. If they don’t want to do so, they don’t have to. It’s their choice.

Chaiah @chaiah.bsky.social · 14h

Agreed.

If you use something created by someone else, you should pay for it.

I hope Über crashes. As a disabled person with a service dog, both Über and Lyft don’t give a crap if their drivers leave me stranded. I’ve already settled one suit with one of those companies and going for round 2. They broke their own agreement the day I deposited the check. Screw them.

Well, we know Infantino is a Drumpf suck up. So….

Honestly, having the World Cup here is an asinine thing to do right now. Utterly moronic.

Chaiah @chaiah.bsky.social · 17h

Yeah. No. We’ve been here before. Many times. If history is any measure, the war will continue. Thinking anything else is foolishness.
