I’m not sure if this joint is actually in Chihuahua, but it’s somewhere in Mexico during Prohibition where Gringos could still get a frosty Budweiser. The food looks fantastic and I want 3 enchiladas for 15¢

BlueSky, meet Monch.

We met Monch just over a fortnight ago when OpGeek spotted them sitting on the lawn when he was doing the bins.

When they didn't move I gloved up and picked them up to check. They rolled up nicely, so we put some cat food out, and we've been feeding them every night since.

Girls ages 16 years or younger who received HPV vaccines were 80% less likely than their unvaccinated counterparts to develop cervical cancer.

Evidence from 23 studies showed that HPV vaccination lowered the incidence of high-grade cervical precancers.

“Apple’s CEO Tim Cook has cozied up to Trump for years, turning his back on the communities Apple claims to support, while he donated a million dollars to Trump’s inauguration and millions more to tear down the East Wing and construct Trump’s ballroom.”

There's a danger within our military that not enough people are talking about:

Flight crashes are killing our troops at record rates.

I'm pushing for answers to get to the bottom of this.

Target still doesn’t get it. They do not get to kick us in the nuts, put lipstick on a pig, then expect us to smile and keep spending. My lifestyle no longer includes shopping at there.

I’m sorry for the National Guards who are only following orders.

Objectively, had the President not called them to serve as law enforcement officers, this tragedy would never have happened.

They seek to demagogue their way out of their own culpability.

To lose honorable people this way!

Hang on, a pause is by definition temporary. Permanent is the opposite of temporary. “Permanent pause” is an oxymoron, a contradiction. If you want to be president of the US, don’t you think you should learn English, @realDonaldTrump ?

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

Riddle me this, how in the fuck is this making our communities any safer? This ICE agent sprays this disabled woman directly in the face in St Paul, Minnesota with pepper spray and then throws her to the ground. I hope she sues the hell out of ICE for this‼️#Abolish 🧊🧊🧊

Kristi Noem is guilty of crimes against humanity and needs to face justice.

📌 She made the final call to defy a court order to halt deportation flights, sending people into the hellscape of CECOT, a place the UN has compared to a torture chamber.

Prosecute her and everyone involved.
