Dreamed I was in LA this morning (never been). Dream LA has the most incredible species of ibis everywhere: shiny black with a flaring crimson bib and two long, pendulous feathers hanging from the end of the gape.

Update: After WGN-TV producer Debbie Brockman was thrown to the ground, arrested by ICE, and accused of throwing objects at them, she was released without charges. It's all about intimidation, and Brockman did not relent. Thanks for being brave!

Things to do in the future:

1. Putting them all on trial for crimes against humanity at the Hague

2. Totally reforming entire government to root out corruption and abuse of power so this bullshit never happens again

3. At some point you’d imagine, brunch

My favorite aspect of the Columbus legend is him getting rejected by the Portuguese gets spun as them not recognizing the genius of his idea. No - he went into a roomful of expert navigators and made basic math mistakes, they thought he was a moron, and they wouldn't fund his idea on that basis.

It’s hard to watch. People being treated like they are less than human because of their perceived immigration status. Like this six-year-old girl.

Time for a new📌: I’m Kaye Ross and I do too many video game podcasts at Duckfeed.tv.

We are entirely independent and listener supported, and have more than a decade of in-depth analysis of games (and very dumb jokes)

Israel commits genocides to expand its borders.

Lapid is denying Israel's genocide because Israel needs Western support to arm itself for these genocides.

By alerting people to Lapid's and Netanyahu's intentions to cover-up this genocide we can deny them the weapons they need to commit genocides.

It makes me feel sick to hear this unspeakable horror be so brazenly denied, instant history re-write.

I’m tired of living in a tic tok that will someday be compressed into a sequence explaining how civilizations fell.

Just disgusted with the mendacity of the tyrants running the show.

(Duh.)

These are the people mainstream media refer to as the "Left".

But then, msm thinks the Democrats are Left.

How many more billions of $ (probably trillions) have to be thrown at this unworkable colonial project, before those pushing it wake up to the reality that it is indeed unworkable?

This is why those banking on the Israeli "opposition" convince very few...

Yair Lapid, head of Israel's opposition:

"Those who demonstrated against Israel in London, Rome, Paris... were deceived by propaganda... The truth is, there was no genocide, no intentional starvation."

White supremacists to themselves when they see something turn white even though it portends impending doom:

Fuuuuuck. That's not good. Mentally adding this to the "things I cannot change but hopefully someday with collective action we can but until then try not to think too hard about it lest I spiral" list.
