I wonder what they gonna do.

White people and a trolley problem meme.

The trolley is named “2024 election”
The person is named “white people”
The main track is Trump with a line of people who will be crushed by the train if white people do nothing.
The side track is “Kamala” with not risk of death.

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

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.

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.

No idea how all these poor and working class people kidnapped by I.C.E can afford to fight for their freedom.

Everything costs money they don’t have: fines; fees; fuel for travel and, importantly, time away from daily paid labor—all costs tons of $$.

What’s interesting is that the people in the comments aren’t refuting the Nick Fuentes part.

David Pakman @davidpakman.bsky.social · 1d

The extreme left’s weird soft treatment of Nick Fuentes is a reminder that if you go far enough in either direction, you loop back around

Multiple airports are now announcing they will refuse to play Kristi Noem’s government-funded video blaming “Democrats” for the government shutdown.

“We believe the Hatch Act clearly prohibits use of public assets for political purposes and messaging,” one airport said.

Money that pays for itself roughly 50x is getting cut.
Research that enables missiles and war is getting cut.
Space race technology that all "space" companies depend on is getting cut.

Just embarrassingly stupid.

If this ruling goes through in favor of the GOP you can count on our party from ever winning again. It’s a big deal and it’s happening Wednesday. 🔄

Supreme Court ruling could let GOP add 19 House seats and "clear the path for a one-party system"

Supreme Court case could wipe out all Democratic-held seats in some deep-red Southern states.

I was turned into an IPA drinker because of college in Seattle. If you were drinking a Rainer beer, you were drinking an IPA.
