Lol... my poor brother failed as a film maker, I'm afraid. It was actually a great movie that he made intending to make the indy circuit of film shows, but he fked up the sound.

2 cruisers and 1 motorcycle, actually

The Younger Twin @eleldouble.bsky.social · 1d

Why? It was necessary. The marines actually stopped the demo after the CHP reported 2 cruisers & 1 motorcycle was hit by shrapnel from a failed explosive that blew while over the freeway. They did what was needed to protect the public during this pathetic display.

The Younger Twin @eleldouble.bsky.social · 1d

Surprisingly, when the CHP reported to the marines that shrapnel had hit 2 of their cruisers & 1 motorcycle after 1 of the explosives failed mid air, they called off the rest of the launches. (I'm surprised bcuz the CHP are a group of Trumpers...)

My PCP is like this. She asks, "are you sick? Why are you wearing a mask?," when I'm in her office. She's a Trump supporter, too. I've tried switching but Kaiser in SoCal is running thin these days and at least she runs the tests I ask for.

Wait, a *Bismarck* donut? My brother did a film called Return To The Bismarck many years ago. I wish I could find it. The entire thing was about him discovering the Bismarck and going back to the place in Canada where he first had it 🫢

As usual, Israel responds with missiles instead of something more direct. I'm so sick of y'all making up excuses & believing the lies. I broke up with my Israeli SO last July bcuz I couldn't handle it anymore. 11.5 years of his bullshit. Never again.

There was at least 1 that ended up with the guy pointing a gun at the peaceful protesters and his arrest as a result.

They also towed his jeep with Trump flags hanging off the back.

I've seen 1 post with the jet, I've seen at least a dozen + posts talking about the peaceful protest with almost zero arrests. Not sure what you're seeing, but it isn't my feed, which is understandable.

Sounds like our feeds are opposite

This is so messed up 😟

Columbian president Gustavo Petro posted: "US government officials have committed a murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters
Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to the drug trade and his daily activity was fishing.
The Columbian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure.
We await explanations from the US government."

I'm sorry to disappoint even further, Jack... I actually *threw a peace sign* at the [3] Trump supporters who drove past our 3k+ crowd giving us a thumbs down or waving their Trump flag 🫣

A bunch of Prop 50 ballots were found in a homeless encampment in San Francisco... they are believed to be stolen from individual mailboxes.

I can't IMAGINE what party the person/ people who did this associate with 🥴

Study after study shows that it's remarkably cheap and easy to solve the problems of homelessness and poverty with low-barrier supportive housing and universal basic income, but our own fear that someone, somewhere will get something they didn't "earn" keeps us looking for other (punitive) options.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

It costs a lot less to house people.

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me

In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

I honestly think they didn't know until they were told maybe late last night. But who knows with these jerks? They seemingly have zero issues just doing whatever because we have no choice.

"CHP officials announced Saturday morning at 6 a.m. that the closure will be in effect from Basilone Road & Harbor Drive in Oceanside."

This closure will be from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and it affects a 17 mile stretch of the freeway. Ridiculous. They lied. I called them. They lied. #Trump ##nokings

There typically aren't many flights in the Camp Pendleton area. That isn't really a risk.

I'll be at Selva and PCH. I know ALL THE FUCKING SIDE ROADS, so no one will keep me from being there.

Interesting reporting right here

172% of Voters Cast Ballots in Palm Beach Precinct 1716? Now That's Some Fuzzy Math.

And 124% in Miami-Dade Precinct 458? Is Anything Legitimate About Florida’s Elections? Anything?
