Actually, I think the sensible centrist position here is just shooting ICE agents en masse. Nuremberg trials are for the political class. The footsoldiers can wind up the same way collaborationists and quislings did in 1944-46.

When lots of trans folks were excited to apply for passports many of us were advising caution. I have real fear for people who did and signed Trump's agreement.
I don't want to be a doomer, but I think at this point realist do not trust SCOTUS or advocates asking folks to put their names on list.

Perks of starting work at 4am are seeing the moon/stars and sunrise every day. Sometimes I have enough time to take a pic of the nice ones and share them with my partners...when they wake up 😅

Took a friend to the doctors in Virginia (us rural folks regularly drive 2 hours to dr's appts). Heard a Winsome Earle-Sears ad on the radio. It was straight up ScArY CoMmuNiSt will LET MEN IN YOUR DAUGHTERS LOCKER ROOM.
If she wins I won't believe it is because of kitchen table issues.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.
The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.
Wanna fix fraud and abuse?
Fix that.

There are reasons that many folks who lost loved ones to opioid addiction, like my family did, chose not to sign up to participate in state legal actions. The West Virginia First Foundation is giving lots of money to cops- if they keep it.

Will the castle owning white nationalist who made a living exaggerating BIPOC on white crime (VDARE) even allow a white person to be a murderer?
Another reminder that Berkeley Springs, WV is a Nazi town. Complicit business owners who would rather embrace racist than alienate tourist gave it away

Honestly, I don't care what people seeking assistance at food banks do for a living, whether they work or not, what they drive, etc.
People are hungry. Give them food to eat. Plain and simple.

I'm on family vacation this week. Being at the Grand Canyon during the shutdown is weird. No fee, and saw several drones (not allowed normally), and lots of grumpy staff. The only ranger we saw was at the entrance. He said "please come back to the gatehouse to let us know if anything is wrong".

They just dumped the asbestos- and lead-laden White House rubble on a golf course near the Potomac since dumps require certification that rubble doesn't contain those harmful elements. They're gonna bury it to create golf course mounds and it's expected to contaminate our groundwater aquifers here.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.
