Y'all, I think I was Charles Darwin in a previous life.
"I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees"
Happy birthday to one of my favourite haters, Charles Darwin

A few weeks back ICE agents ate at a Mexican restaurant and then *detained the restaurant's workers* and they're complaining about how they can't eat out anymore?
Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state?
HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down

Clarify your demands, and shut it down until they are met. And "more training" is not acceptable. If not now, when? You have exactly ONE weapon in this fight. If you don't use it, you have failed us all. You have failed yourselves. You have failed your country.

Um, you're not allowed to go door-to-door hoping to randomly find someone violating the law. You need a warrant. That's is basic Constitutional shit.
JD Vance: "It was a legitimate law enforcement operation. We were going door to door to try to find criminal illegal aliens and deport them from the United States ... say a prayer for that agent ... he deserves a debt of gratitude."

It really sucks sitting down to work a job I have to have because the technofeudalism incarnation of capitalism and a police state will throw me out on the street and kill me if I don't make money, while elsewhere in my country that same police state is executing my fellow citizens with impunity.

Every time something like this happens, I am reminded due process matters even in a flawed and unequal justice system. Law-enforcement officers are not the justice system. And part of their job is to deal with the public. It’s striking, how many of these people lead with cowardice and blood thirst.

Devastated that my neighbor died. His wife just came to let us know. Explains the ambulance late last night.
His inhaler went to $550 from $100 on Jan 1st when subsidies expired. Choosing between the inhaler and keeping a roof over their heads, he chose the latter, hoping to stretch what he had.

The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made
