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.

And Trump et al and

The answer to "is Benjamin Netanyahu a war criminal?" is "yes, but he's also a genocider," and this should not be controversial.

Two were abducted, one is petrified of leaving the home.

"The ordinary human being does not live long enough to draw any substantial benefit from his own experience. And no one, it seems, can benefit by the experiences of others. Being both a father and teacher, I know we can teach our children nothing…Each must learn its lesson anew."

Albert and Alfred knew each other well. Even today many people have difficulty with the concepts of Third Space. The Einstein quote from The Saturday Evening Post is from Korzybski's mind and straight into Albert's. Birds of a feather

Airports are managed through a combination of operational management, administration, security, and infrastructure maintenance, all coordinated by centralized systems and various departments.

Airport managers. It bears investigation into. They are multi jurisdictional spaces and entities. This makes it difficult for them to be managed by a unitary exec. Committees?

Airport managers need to wake up fast. With only a handful of exceptions, people running airports across America are risking serious fines and being barred from government work for up to five years by broadcasting political messaging on behalf of DHS Kristi Noem.

Why Are Airport Managers Risking Their Jobs to Air GOP Propaganda?

Forget the party or cult, elect the woke individuals in it using the system hopefully to help people not enrich themselves.
This is what none of those I've heard speak about Adorno, revealing they don't understand or deserve the vaunted BOLD FACED INITIALS preceding or following a their names.

Individuals are not parties, or cults. Individuals must go through our party system until we move to publicly funded elections and get rid of the electoral college, not happening any time soon. Set theory. This video. Life of Brian, Call: "You're all individuals!" Response: "We're all individuals!"
