Understanding humanity is of great interest to me, even if it is a project that can never be entirely finished.
That’s a “tell me all your secrets” tree. That’s an “I have a quest for you” tree. That’s a “fall asleep against me and wake up somewhere else” tree.

If the onion doesn’t flit, you must acquit!

Cheers, Sandwich Guy.

If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing

The #trauma 🧅

Unrelated, I’m now craving a sandwich
Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.

The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.

"I could smell the onions and mustard."

The recent ICE raid which emptied an entire apartment building was apparently at the request of Wells Fargo, which is trying to foreclose on the building.

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

As boats from the Global Sumud Flotilla prepared to set sail toward Gaza, a representative of Genoa’s Dockworkers’ Union declared that if anything happened to the flotilla, workers would “block everything.” When the flotilla was attacked, the reaction was swift: a 24-hour general strike was called.

Following a 24-hour general strike on September 22, the country is now gearing up for a national protest on October 4.

A horrifying update that is not surprising but oh my GOD
Heritage Foundation has released an absolutely insane policy proposal to label all trans people as domestic terrorists. It uses completely made up instances of terrorism and made up statistics but facts don't matter to them.

They want us all eradicated.

Interesting listen. Price fixing with rent, corporate/network states, and how it gets pushed as “opportunity.”

Beware the tech fascists, as always.

Really is a specific kind of confidence to sit alone outside and blast your music at yourself like “yeah every neighbor for sure wants to hear this sweet jam”

This is my old person thought for the day, thanks

Yesterday, on a walk, we heard a real life 90s movie villain yell at his neighbor (who is I guess contemplating renting his house bc it ain’t selling), “This is NOT a RENTAL NEIGHBORHOOD! You better WATCH YOURSELF!”

We rent literally a block away. There is an apartment building even closer. Sir?

Do y’all think maybe the Cracker Barrel thing is them wanting to moan about stupid shit that doesn’t matter on social media again, because arguing about dictators, concentration camps, military vs civilians, and a looming economic crash is kind of a bummer? A nostalgia of sorts.

A Trump order seeks to impose involuntary confinement on homeless and mentally ill Americans.

Trans people are already at a higher risk. But a nightmare scenario of mass confinement hangs over the order - the right defines trans people as inherently mentally ill.
