It's absurd how many lawmakers call for anyone in this corrupt, fascist regime "to resign" or to feel any shame for their continual crimes. They don't feel shame, that's the POINT, you need to start throwing these chucklefucks in prison & stripping away their money, houses, property.

- Tremont, PA: $120 million
- San Antonio, TX: $82 million
- El Paso, TX: $123 million

This is unprecedented.

What I find hilarious about all the health-guru-lifestyle shit is that anyone can become disabled at any time, particularly with long COVID around, and all the workouts in the world won't prevent death. It all reeks of desperation and denial of mortality. Fools all.
going to start referring to all this no-caffeine, omni-spectrum sobriety, celibacy, 996, workout and diet focus stuff as "mormonism with silicon valley characteristics" because it's more polite than calling it "homeschool mindset"

a good thread on how insidious these book banners are
This is only tangentially connected to me, but stick with me.
In Leander TX, a suburb of Austin, a Dem candidate gets 57% of the vote in a special election for mayor, walloping 2 rightwing challengers. Great news!
Leander is arguably where the rightwing book banning took off. I was a target!

I wrote about these warehouses in the context of Friday's Fifth Circuit mandatory-detention ruling over the weekend here: www.lawdork.com/p/fifth-circ...
ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.
If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.
