Gülenist History Day is every day. Maybe be someone who is autistic, a Sikh or part of the YMCA or even someone who has gifted kid burnout. You should reevaluate your Gülenist privilege Bobby. You never had to fight for your right to coexist in society.

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.

It's a joke about the fact that Noem has killed puppies in the past.

Reports indicate that Noem was so frustrated by this news that she executed a dozen newborn puppies

More than a dozen U.S. airports are refusing to display a video of Kristi Noem, the Homeland Security secretary, blaming Democrats for the government shutdown and any travel disruptions that may result from it. Some said that the video was overly partisan.

If Trumpers think that the left are the real fascists wouldn't that make Trumpers antifa, which is a terror group? I'm just asking questions.

And the "Dumbest Pig of the Day" award goes to this halfwit ICE fascist pointing a gun at one of his fellow paramilitary tools before he has to be told "no no, you can't just murder this citizen, he's special"

I thought the text above was the exception for class G? Am I totally misreading or what? Cuz that could deffo be the case lol

In fact, cop murder is a good reason to not do this sort of thing and/or talk about it online. Because they will murder people for it. Do you understand? are you getting it? Is that clear to you?

Aram Shabanian @aramshabanian.bsky.social · 2d

Cop murder is massive problem and more than just a concern. Happy?

That's probably for the best. Having laymen weigh in on things they don't understand can make things emotional and volatile. It's much better to leave the discussion to people who have actual expertise in these issues. I appreciate your attitude towards this.

Oh, I must have misunderstood you. If you're not advocating for people to shine lasers into the eyes of helicopter pilots, we don't have a problem here. I'm glad we can both agree that would be an impressively stupid thing to advocate for online.
