The administration and its allies have refused to rule out sending ICE and federal agents to polling places this fall. But it's illegal! Federal law bans armed agents at the polls, period!

Page 3. Text reads "We protect us! Intimidating voters in once community is an attack on all of us, and we answer as one. Vote early, protect the vote, and defend the 2026 election so voters' choices are respected." Graphic reads "Indivisible / Hands Off Our Vote"

Art shows ICE agents stuck behind a big circle with a line through it. One of them is saying "Hmp!"

If you have a Windows PC, the specific tool you can use is "add and remove programs" - if it tells you the epic launcher is actively running, you can hit ctrl+alt+del and select "task manager" scroll down, right click on the epic programs and click "end task" and then go back to the add/remove app.

If you still have the Epic Games Launcher on your system, don't update it and get it the fuck off of your computer. There's no telling what damage it can do or what vibecoded landmines are waiting in it.

To clarify, I don't know if it was my region or what, but for much of my young life, ANY questions seemed to be considered rude I'm not talking about inappropriate ones that I didn't realize at the time were inappropriate, I mean literally any questions, innocuous or not!

The first time I ever really felt it and comprehended what I was feeling was in elementary school, when I realized that many of my peers and the adults around me didn't seem to understand what the purpose of a question was ...yeah, I'm autistic, how did you know?

QUESTION OF THE DAY: This sounds like a joke question, but it isn’t. If it doesn’t apply to you, fine. But it’s a serious question with different levels of meaning. And I am genuinely curious. When did you first realize you were weird?

My heart was broken when I heard he was doing this movie. Yes, I felt betrayed, but also so confused. This is a man who has in his contracts that if he plays a bad guy he has to die horribly. He didn't want kids to idolize him as a villain. Now my heart is broken for him. This is elder abuse.

For anvone seeing this shit with mv dad...

He was booked on a film, it's not pro-ice, it's not overtly pro anything. His agent described it as "a complicated story about a complicated time, where everyone looks bad except you, the hardworking Mexican shop owner who just wants peace"

He jumped at the idea of playing a good guy.

About 2 weeks into shooting evervone, including us, found out Ben Shapiro was involved

My 82 year old dad has never heard of Ben Shapiro, I had to explain to him who that is, and what kind of guy he is.

My dad contractuallv can't bad mouth him, the film, or walk awav without being sued for breach of contract. He couldn't even release the statement he wanted to.

It's fucked up. He's handcuffed to this stupid project, and swaths of people have instantly turned their back on him without knowing any of the facts.

Ben Shapiro got Mexicans to abandon one of their heroes, got his own name to the top of google's searches, and made us look like angry fools lacking any nuance. He wins.

So Danny Trejo was manipulated and tricked into being in Ben Shapiro's newest film. Holy shit.

It definitely tracks. Danny will say "yes" to anything (including one of my scripts, humble brag), so he sees "shop owner", and has free time, so why not? The fault is with the agent who I assume is also 80 years old and has never heard of Ben Shapiro.
