When we adopted there in 2004, you could see that volcano off towards the horizon, from the roof of our rental home. Very active. Hope all are safe, hard to gauge the effect and damage from these pix and stuff.

It feels like such a small victory to be preventing a slush fund for his rioters, but I do think it is good. Symbolic maybe, like maybe this one dude will pardon you but nobody else cares.

Just a random reminder that immigrants are good for society and good for the economy.

Maybe the funniest part of the arena shakedown is seeing investment groups claim loss of "foot traffic" for "small businesses" in the area. Like, what in the fuck are you even talking about? The place is bound by a freeway on one side, an abandoned river silo on the other, and jack shit between.

Sen. John Kennedy on Trump's blatant reflecting pool lies: "The president says it was caused by vandals. I don't know if he really believes that or it's part of his political messaging or he's just thinking out loud ... he grows anxious when he has an unexpressed thought."

Congratulations to the little tyke.

Trump allegedly just won his 43rd Club Championship today at one of his courses.

“Trump is underwater on deportations in 34 states, including all the swing states plus Florida, Texas, Iowa, & Alaska—all states w/elections for US Senate this year.” “Not one state prefers deporting everyone once voters are given an option to give citizenship to non-criminal long-term immigrants.”
