🫢 I'm not entirely sure what they mean but that is kind of horrifying
She wants people to so-called martyr themselves the way her husband allegedly was? Ghoulish, even for them.

Also though, if we had any doubt or question about her being just as awful as he was, her behavior since clears that up.

Elon Musk and other billionaires will destroy the planet simply because we don't respect or like them, because they're rich.

If these people cannot win, they will make our victory taste as bitter as defeat. They are sociopaths.

They are doing ethnic cleansing here in Minnesota because its people have to be punished for proving their racist views about Somali and other immigrants to be wrong. They are going after Renee Good's loved ones, her child's school, because Good had the audacity to make what they're doing look bad.

They will never accept defeat. A lot of what's going on here is due to their inability to be wrong. If the place they're complaining about being a crime ridden hellhole isn't one, they'll make sure it becomes one just to be right. They're destroying vaccines just to be right 4 years ago.

Not gonna quote tweet Bouie, but he is illuminating something I was also wondering: what is the actual goal of Miller and ICE in Minneapolis beyond terror and violence? Cleansing the Somali community? Running every immigrant out of town? Turning the city into a ghost town? None of this will happen

The political point of all this, in Minneapolis and elsewhere, is to distract the Republican base from the fact that Trump cannot actually deport 14 million people as he promised. Terror and violence against some immigrants and their liberal allies is an entertaining substitute for the impossible.

"It is far from the first time that we have reported on this topic, but Walmart has still not changed course, despite endless customer complaints."
Walmart Still Doesn't Accept Apple Pay in the U.S. in 2026, Here's Why
Walmart Still Doesn't Accept Apple Pay in the U.S. in 2026, Here's Why
As noted by 9to5Mac over the weekend, Walmart still does not accept contactless payment options like Apple Pay at its more than 4,500 stores across the U.S., and there is no indication that will be changing any time soon. It is not just Apple Pay that is affected. Walmart also does not allow customers to use Google Pay or Samsung Pay, and you cannot tap a credit or debit card either. It is far from the first time that we have reported on this topic, but Walmart has still not changed course, despite endless customer complaints. Last year, a Walmart spokesperson told MacRumors that the retailer remained focused on its own payment technologies in the Walmart app, including Walmart Pay and Scan & Go, but these options are not as convenient as one-tap Apple Pay. To use Walmart Pay, customers must add a payment card to the Walmart app, and then scan a QR code displayed at the checkout to complete payment. This system allows Walmart to track a customer's purchase history and learn their habits, which is likely the biggest underlying reason that the retailer does not accept Apple Pay. Scan & Go allows Walmart+ members to save time by scanning barcodes on items while they shop, rather than having to scan all of the items at a self-checkout register later. This can save you time, but Apple Pay is still not accepted. Apple Pay has a lot of privacy protections, including hiding actual credit card numbers, and this would make it harder for Walmart to track customers. Apple Pay launched more than 10 years ago, and it was accepted at more than 90 percent of U.S. retailers as of 2022, according to Apple. Some other major Apple Pay holdouts in the U.S. have reversed course and started accepting it over the past few years, including The Home Depot, Lowe's, Kroger, and Texas grocery store chain H-E-B, leaving Walmart as one of the country's only major retailers that does not accept Apple Pay. Interestingly enough, Walmart has accepted Apple Pay in Canada since 2020, but apparently it is not willing to offer that luxury in America for now.Related Roundup: Apple PayTag: WalmartRelated Forum: Apple Music, Apple Pay/Card, iCloud, Fitness+ This article, "Walmart Still Doesn't Accept Apple Pay in the U.S. in 2026, Here's Why" first appeared on MacRumors.com Discuss this article in our forums

Also, one young group IS becoming more "religious": incel-type white men, who are transparently using religion as an excuse to behave egotistically and violently—especially towards women.

It's a flashing red light for everyone else.
