One right our fascist Republican lead government hasn't taken away is my right as an American to bitch about the weather even if the sky is falling.
Yes there are far greater worries in the world, but it's a slice of normal to bitch about how hot it is in Los Angeles.

We have masked lawless goons kidnapping children and families. We have lawless goons "arresting" journalists for being journalists.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

To the team for @gomez.house.gov please ask him to start pushing bills to defund ICE and impeach Noem.
I live in Koreatown and I love my vibrant and colorful neighborhood of mostly immigrants. The idea that we have an administration that wants to take this away is a crime that must be stopped.

Last week, I voted NO on pouring billions more into Trump’s ICE and CBP.
Now it’s the Senate’s turn. I’m urging my Senate colleagues to stand up, vote NO, and reject Trump’s dangerous anti-immigrant agenda and his unchecked national police force.

This is great! For those outside of LA, Koreatown is a densely populated area of LA with mostly apartments. Many of these apartments are older too, so closet space is a premium and TLC is needed.
It's not uncommon to have to wait a week or two to get our landlord to fix something in our apartments.

I told myself I would hold off until Davos before I bought a lot of EU pantry items.
I now need to figure out where to put all the De Ceco and Edmond Fallot I'm going to buy.

Rewboss made a good video on why ICE is more like the Brownshirts (SA) than the the Gestapo.
It's not pedantry, there is some history to go along with it.

Tried explaining to my German teacher (who is Austrian) the PTO system here in the US and his response was basically, "That's crazy."
Seems that most Europeans think it's crazy to have sick days and vacation days come out of the same pool.
But, "verrückt" was thrown around in that session.

I have fallen in love with Campus B5 26-ring binders for my hobbiest game design. The paper is nice to write on and has different sheets you can mix and match. My only complaint was lack of a good dotted grid like in Leuchtturm notebooks. But I JUST noticed a sheet that has a faint grid!

I am sure many Californians like me want this, @schiff.senate.gov, @padilla.senate.gov, @gomez.house.gov.
I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.
She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

@schiff.senate.gov and @padilla.senate.gov please do your job and abolish ICE. This institution is a danger to US citizens. If you're unwilling to do this, then you're unwilling to protect the US when it matters the most.
ICE just murdered a woman here in Minneapolis. A legal observer. Shot her multiple times while she drove away as ordered. She was a US citizen.
Absolute, unequivocal, cold-blooded murder by Trump’s gestapo.
Abolish ICE, jail for everyone in charge. This is the lowest bar we accept now.

I get that Johnson is an immoral sack of flesh who has made a pact with beings from a hell dimension that makes him incapable of telling the truth....
But with any other job, missing critical information over and over again is a sign of incompetence.
I still hold that incompetence is bad.

Q: What's your reaction to yesterday's purge of senior ICE officials? When is it time for Congress to do some oversight?
MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know any of the details of that yet. I just heard about that, literally I was walking in.

We did our NoKings in the leftist bastion of LA County ... Burbank (obvious joke).
We wanted to spend time with our friends. And this was the best compromise for everyone. It was heartening to see people who I wouldn't expect to have an opinion on this be involved.

Moved to Los Angeles from Ohio 10-years ago. I thought the whole LA reaction to rain was over-exaggerated. Then I realized it was real and Angelenos were silly to react that way.

This has been around koreatown for a few years now. Do you do you think the person realizes they were wrong and use this as an example for themselves to be more introspective?
The answer is no. If they were capable of introspection and selfdoubt, they wouldn't have printed up a damn sign.
