And they wonder why we're suspicious of masked, unidentified ICE guys.

Terrible and frightening. Will this become the "new normal" as a result of the seeds sown?

Brevard County Sheriff Sheriff Wayne Ivey: "If you throw a brick, a firebomb, or point a gun at one of our deputies, we will be notifying your family where to collect your remains at, because we will kill you graveyard dead."

Seems like if pointing a gun at somebody is a capital offense, there are a lot of law enforcement who should be dead now.


Some people just want to bend the truth or provide half truth, either to argue or to shape their own narrative, down play the reality, and add a sense of doubt in reality and those sharing the facts.

I have no time and no patience for such people. Same type of people who played games during COVID, when everyone around me was dropping like flies, implying it was all a big deal over nothing and that everybody was over exaggerating. 🙄

Worrying...

The cause can be directly connected to Trump's hate speech... and to that of his collaborators...

One thing I have noticed about the shootings in Minnesota: no statement from the White House condemning the violence. Not even crickets.

When Mastodon or Bluesky get called an "echo chamber" it is hilarious to me, because yes, that is how this works. We don't have some corporate overlord algorithm dictating everything you see, so you are SUPPOSED to build up your own feed following the topics that specifically interest you and utilizing filters to fine tune them to be perfect for you. Why WOULDN'T you want that?

Okay, the fact that they are having a "No Tyrants" protest in London instead of "No Kings" is fucking hilarious.

No Kings, people. No Kings.

No Fentanyl Interdiction

California Governor Gavin Newsom accused the Trump administration of pulling National Guard troop from fentanyl interdiction efforts at the US-Mexico border. In a post on X, Newsom said the troops he had stationed to stop smuggling are now "twiddling their thumbs in LA."





Two Minnesota Democratic legislators, state senator John Hoffman state representative Melissa Hortman, have been shot in their homes by a gunman impersonating a police officer. Law enforcement officials are treating these shootings as "targeted shootings."

Violent anti-abortion activists -- there's a background there.

Republican billionaires are always in a constant search for issues that will bring allies to their scheme of moneyed bigotry.

Voting rights, civil rights, women's rights, gay rights, LGBTQ rights, seniors rights, immigrant rights.

All issues predicated on "some people matter, those others don't" & "some people deserve to have a life of leisure built on the backs of those who don't matter"

The anti-abortion movement was built on the white supremacist premise that women, especially black women, cannot be permitted to have agency or autonomy.

The economy was to be built on voiceless & choiceless women

Impoverished women supposedly have a "biological destiny" to birth the next generation of low wage workers, in service to the rich

new copspeak just dropped

I think "authorities believe the shooter was impersonating law enforcement" is a euphemism for "the police killed this person and are going to get away with it 100%"

People miss the older #Pokémon games because they were good JRPGs, like the first couple of Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest games, period, it has nothing to do with nostalgia, in fact, shut up already about nostalgia, that's not the only reason why people like old shit, some old shit is just good.

Indian Creek Village,
the “Billionaire Bunker” near Miami,
couldn’t get approval to discharge its waste into a neighboring town’s sewer lines.

So the village quietly persuaded state lawmakers to force the issue.

In a world where billionaires are increasingly exercising political clout,
the fight over sewage in Indian Creek suggests the degree to which their influence is extending not just to policy in the White House and Congress but to some of the most foundational issues of municipal governance

The U.S. granted these journalists asylum. Then it fired them. Three employees at Voice of America’s fact-checking unit fled Putin’s wrath and are now among the many journalists losing their jobs under Trump’s orders.
