If ice wasn’t terrorizing their communities they would not have to wear masks. Their police do not have to wear mask. If ice treated people respectfully and lawfully they would not have to hide their faces.

Really trying to figure out why I’ve lost interest in the NBA. A big part is way the bizarre rebrand happened for the Jazz. Another is the last few times I went to a game, prices were out of control. Tall boys for $18?! We need someone to graph the price inflation the past 10 years at Delta Center!

Yep. American soft power was the special sauce for the empire. Even in times when U.S. policy was controversial or flat out wrong, it brought tremendous good will.
people born in america probably don’t realize how cool america used to be. the death of US soft power is going to have long term consequences we are only beginning to see

Since voting machine companies base their long term market viability on their product being insecure..
Sen. Tuberville: "We gotta get rid of these voting machines. There's a half dozen people here in the House and Senate that did not get elected. It was all bogus. We've seen the evidence."

The days of Big Tech being the guys who care about individual users are over. Many have pending cases before a corrupt Trump regime, and they will do what they must for a favorable outcome. Don’t expect them to protect you or your information

The term "practicing obedience" should have no place in American life, outside of a dog school.

Makes you furious
Yes, this friendly 2019 Jeffrey Epstein email exchange is about the owner of the Patriots, Robert Kraft. But it's more important who it is WITH: Brad Karp, the chairman of Paul, Weiss. And Karp was still chairman when Paul, Weiss became the first law firm to cave to Trump's demands in 2025. 1/

There are multiple declines that have been set in motion by the Trump presidency that will take years to fully manifest and will be too late to stop by the time people figure it out.

Trump pushing Canada to open up its auto market to Chinese EVs is one such example.

GM CEO Mary Barra sees Chinese EVs in Canada as a risk to North American auto manufacturing.

I’ve been having annoying post nasal drip in my throat, which usually happens during allergy season. But I’ve had it for the last couple of weeks—totally unsure the cause.

Now I know! It’s an allergic reaction to the crappy air #utah
