I am currently watching the Texas Killing Fields special on Netflix in case anyone else is interested. All white young women. Police zero help. These poor families. And I know it’s worse for other families.

”Unafraid of consequences for crimes”, that’s so true of the Trump Regime. The Constitution ruled the day being used to erase histories of First Nations Genocide, slavery, denying women & others voting/civil rights. So Trump uses it in the same way!
the biggest lesson from the emails today is that powerful people are so unafraid of consequences for crimes as bad as “raping children” that they will just talk about it openly in emails

the only path to a better society is one where that is no longer true

As the value of the dollar drops, so does your wealth, Elon Musk, Larry Ellison, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Jim Walton🤔🤔 It's amazing how all you greedy asses have hitched your wagon to a known(worldwide)corrupt, convicted felon, sex trafficking "Pedophile-N-Chief." The roasters will come home..

It's outrageous that Spotify is running ICE ads. I'm moving to another streaming platform that doesn't profit from exploiting artists while recruiting for ICE. #CancelSpotify app.sosha.ai/s/kuPsA0PT

THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY: Svengoolie: The Valley of Gwangi (1969). This one is an all-time favorite of mine. It has cowboys versus dinosaurs, the scary Tia Zorine, the even more scary Gwangi, a redemption story for James Franciscus and special effects by the legendary Ray Harryhausen. 11-9-25.

A 1-year-old girl was pepper-sprayed through the window of a moving vehicle by ICE agents in Chicago. She was briefly hospitalized.

The dad said a masked agent pointed pepper-spray at a Sam's parking lot when they were hit.
