With SNAP benefits going to shit because of rich assholes and corruption running rampant through politics I'd like to point your attention to a Clinton.
No, not one of those Clintons. This Clinton. Clifford Clinton.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.
They’ve had their necks kneeled on.
They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.
At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Migrated to a Fairphone 6. Pretty useful (expensive import tariff) phone, even de-Googled. Looking back on my previous LG V60 and LG V20 phones, I am saddened that LG left the mobile market because their hardware was just fantastic in the V20. I would buy a V20 with a modern CPU and radio inside.

I was really looking forward to the remake of Final Fantasy Tactics on Steam... but it seems to include Denuvo "anti-tamper" DRM, and Denuvo as a shitty, lying company can get bent and Square Enix can lose a sale.

It takes a lot of time to play ~120 games and give them a fair evaluation. You have to dedicate time to each to select the top performers, and once that is done you have to fully replay all of the top entries and break down how they perform in different categories for final scoring. It is arduous🕹️🎯😵
Quick update from the #gbcompo25 organisation team: our judges are working hard, going through the ~120 submitted entries, validating them and selecting their favourites.
We plan to release the shortlist next week.

Never wanted to live in an HOA community, but found a minimal group-specific 🛩️community that I wanted to be a part of. This year, the new HOA board has been taking advice from an HOA-specialist lawyer and is now attempting to pass new rules to give the board total control. 😒 1/x

Anti-Vaxxer Finally Gets Shot
Conservative activist and noted anti-vaxxer Charlie Kirk finally received a shot while delivering a speech in front of brainwashed students at Utah Valley University earlier today.

Yeah, that.
I imagine that it gave Charlie Kirk great pleasure to die as a martyr to the god of death he worshipped. I wish instead he could have died another way: of old age, peacefully, in a country where all his work had come to nothing, and he himself completely forgotten.

Remember this. The Nazis were defeated by geologists and car mechanics and school teachers and milkmen. Ordinary people from all over the world who risked their own lives to put the fascists in the ground where they belong.
the real glory of world war two was that it involved a warrior cult being ground down and beaten to a pulp by people who would rather have been doing something else.
