Sure is a lot of money available for anything that doesn’t help the average American. Weird. 🖕🏻

If you need one more reason to Close Your Wallet this holiday season: I worked in corporate retail for 20 years.

Black Friday is a hoax. You won’t get the best deals. The “flash sale items” are low priced garbage to get you in the door to sell more higher priced garbage.

The LA Police Department and LA County Sheriff’s Department are infamously bigoted and excessively violent. Not all police in California are this bad, but in the greater LA metro law enforcement has an earned reputation.

For all practical purposes, yes. Republicans either pay no attention to history, or only hear what they want to with it, and so they get things absurdly wrong about history all the time.

ICE is now raiding night clubs while continuing to terrorize our communities. This is just the latest case of ICE’s unchecked power. This brutality continues to worsen. ICE is trying to divide communities, they know they can’t pull this off if communities come together to stop them. They fear us.

Kamala Harris ~ “We refuse to kneel at the foot of a tyrant…We believe in the Constitution. We believe in the power of the vote. And we are prepared, when necessary, to fight fire with fire.”

“And part of what I’m here to say today is other states need to step up too.”

Oh, it’s absolutely true. I think it was Majorie Taylor Green who was ranting about Biden using the gazpacho police.

Guardian headline about MTG not knowing the difference between gazpacho and the Gestapo.

I have several complaints about Biden. But at worst he was misguided by a sense of faith in the old order in Washington, not out of craven greed and cruelty.

More than 47 million Americans — including one in five children — don’t have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.

Letter to the Editor:

It’s the People’s House, yet the people were caught completely off guard finding a pile of rubble where the East Wing once stood. This is truly symbolic to our country’s current state.

Letters: The demolition of the East Wing is an assault on the People’s House

We the people run this country, and yet we’ve been left in the dark during its governance for the past 10 months.

I mean, I think he’s there until the day he meets his maker, which based on what we know will probably be well before 2028.
Let’s just hope his craven advisors don’t get too many more people killed using him as their Potemkin President in the meantime.

The old one was so much more… approachable? Tasteful? Unpretentious (in a complementary sense)?
Not bathroom of the century, but the old one was nice and unostentatious.

It’s less of a lie than saying the Democrats are responsible for what’s happening in Gaza, and I don’t see any Arab or Muslims in the public sphere openly denouncing what CAIR did so in the absence of that I can only assume it represents their positions.

And if that’s harsh, then let me point out that CAIR hasn’t even taken the knife out my back while they’re demanding me to prioritize Natamyahu’s policies, not realizing how transparently Netanyahu played them into his own hands.

jdr1992.bsky.social @jdr1992.bsky.social · 3d

The Muslim and Arab Americans who voted for Kamala are my allies. But I’ve watched a majority of their communities betray my own community’s rights, and vote to allow fascism to take over the US. So unfortunately Gaza isn’t my problem until the rights CAIR fought to take away from me are restored.

Meanwhile CAIR, the leading Muslim and Arab American political influence group, is fighting against my existence as a gay man. I don’t support what Israel is doing in Gaza, but if the voting bloc that speaks for them is against me then I’m prioritizing my own survival first.
