I was in a friend’s rental car and in place of a rear-view mirror there was a mirror-sized digital video feed of the back of the car. They replaced one of the most reliable & intuitive safety features in a car with a digital surrogate that could glitch at any moment. KEEP ANALOG SAFTEY FEATURES

"Get away from me right now," King, a retired U.S. Army captain who served in Iraq and earned both a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star, can be heard telling the three male guard members in the video as they approach her on the bench. "You have absolutely no authority to detain me."

🚨NEW: Todd Blanche’s new order rescinds the May 18 Anti-Weaponization Fund—but quietly leaves the May 19 IRS immunity settlement intact. Instead of rescinding it, the accompanying memo reaffirms DOJ’s interpretation, arguing the immunity applies only retroactively and only to the parties involved.1/

Whether Mitch McConnell is dead or alive, he is certainly incapable of doing his job. And everyone covering up for him should be held responsible in some career destroying way.

"A concentration camp, in its most basic definition, is a place where a targeted civilian population, not necessarily accused of a crime, is detained and at least some of their basic rights are suspended," writes @jwashing.bsky.social.

The guy that they want you to be terrified of (Mamdani) is making sure kids in NYC are fed all summer and people have access to cheaper groceries, all while they take food away from kids getting SNAP. Just sayin, feeding kids should make you the good guy.

A mother gave the government her fingerprints, tax records, and DNA to get her 6-year-old daughter back. She did everything officials asked. ICE used that information to find and arrest her. A child welfare system became a deportation tool. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Outgoing Senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis are reportedly undecided about Todd Blanche's nomination for AG. A single GOP "No" vote in committee this Thursday could tank Blanche's nomination entirely. Call and tell them to reject Blanche: (202) 224-3121

Court docs show House fascist Republican Max Miller assaulted his wife, poured hot water on her, held a gun to her head and broke his 2 year old daughter’s collarbone. Creepy insurrectionist Mike Johnson is letting him stay in office. He isn’t a Speaker, he’s a terrorist.

I believe that Moscow Mitch McConnell is likely permanently disabled or dead and his team should be criminally prosecuted for covering it up in order to delay a special election for as long as possible. The creepy photos only grow my suspicion.

Friendly reminder that these things aren't impacted by closing the Strait of Hormuz so maybe, just maybe, we should implement them to avoid being impacted by future conflicts: -Solar panels -Wind turbines -Battery storage -Electric vehicles -Bicycles -Natural fertilizers -Electric heat pumps

He emitted over 20 tons of CO2 on Sunday in order to spend four hours in Burbank. Come on people, we need to push for carbon taxes! Carbon taxes are wealth taxes too if you want to think about it that way. I think that $200/tonne would add like $2/gallon cost and seems like a fine start.
