I think to say that between mass shooters and ICE, our country is a war zone.
And until #MAGA is willing to talk about #guncontrol and disband ICE, tourists should not come to this country.
You're risking your life.
Trump has turned this country into a hell hole.

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.

Trump will never let up on Canada now, so it's time for 10's of thousands of US businesses to be shut down and sent back. We didn't start this, but we can stop it.

And darker… As Carl Sagan said (prophetically) in his often-quoted book ‘The Demon-Haunted World’.
![“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...
The dumbing down of American[sic] is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance…”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:leewy4zzpqsl72ogi35dd4ar/bafkreibaaw4uc2gifrt23zqjvnwneap7kaccsxi6noqkxa6h42o6pt5veu@jpeg)

Thanks to RFK Jr., the committee that evaluates vaccines no longer listens to CDC subject-matter experts, reports @citizencohn.bsky.social. Instead, it listens to a lawyer who tried to stop distribution of the polio vaccine.
In the case of hepatitis B, the result could be thousands of deaths.

Not only is ICE snatching hard working people who are trying to earn a living, they’re taking their money too?
A witness recorded ICE agents taking a cash box from a taco stand in La Puente during an operation where four people were arrested.
