Giving up in advance is exactly what authoritarians want you to do.
Because they know that giving up gives them more power that they don't actually have.
They're counting on people's apathy and nihilism to help them. Doomerism is not helpful.

One of the first things to do is defund ICE and then use the money to give teachers a bonus. Then hire home care workers using the rest of it. Reform immigration law to recruit immigrants to help the elderly at home.
New: We got an internal ICE document revealing its $100 million ad plan to bring in 14,000 new hires: deals with "tactical" influencers; ads to gun & military buffs; and geo-targeting phones around NASCAR races and gun shows.

for almost 15 years, i was willing to speak the truth even when it was unpopular. at first they mocked me, threw rocks at me, called me an "old man" who needed to "shut the fuck up." now they take these things as self-evident.

Not to mention chicken pox sucks and can cause lifelong problems. My autoimmune disorder happened after I had chicken pox in high school. You can get shingles later on which is painful and can be deadly. Blindness. My whole life was negatively affected by chicken pox.
Yeah, this dum dum is talking about chicken pox.
Anyway, it's very cool and awesome that he has so much cultural and political influence.

This is very common. People want to know how this was covered up so long? Well no one does anything about rape. No one cares. They called these kids prostitutes. Kids. Not possible. It’s rape that they threw money at to go away.
This is sinister. If you're wondering why so many people don't report sexual assault, this is why.
jesus the Palm Beach Police really sought arrest warrants against underage Epstein victims for coming forward and cooperating, and (purported) admitting to crimes, and it caused the victims to become uncooperative with the federal investigation

This gets to a more fundamental problem: the justices are unwilling to confront what's actually happening. Trump is attempting to create an internal federal police force to use on Democratic-led cities and whose only oversight is Whiskey Pete and Republican governors.
IOW, Alito says it's weird that the majority would expect POTUS to call on the military before he can call on the NG.
But in times of invasion and rebellion WE WOULD EXPECT THE MILITARY TO BE CALLED UP FIRST. Why should the third statutory condition "unable to execute laws" be different?

Do not dye your hair 2 hours before needing to go out to a concert (it is a very bad idea and will have you in a very stressful situation)

I find this difficult to believe. Not Russia. They’d never do something like this. But even if a rogue element in Russia tried, I’m sure our IC would be on top of it. It’s not like the super pro U.S. President has redirected these elements to some bullshit. Right?

I understand people are upset. But let’s think about this. Germany was welcomed back into the family of nations AFTER THE HOLOCAUST.
“…Even if they are able to clean up his mess … elect a supremely sane president next, America will NEVER again be a trusted partner. Because there are enough Americans who would vote for him … (again).

Have you considered using the large faucet thingy you have out there in Northern or Central CA?
California is expanding its water supply by adding 2.9 billion gallons a year through eight major state-funded projects.
We're recycling more water, removing PFAS, upgrading wastewater systems and building new desalination for over one million Californians.
This is how we build drought resilience.

Well, take a look at this.
The Pink Hairy Squat Lobster (Lauriea siagiani) is a small crustacean that lives on barrel sponges in the Indo-Pacific region. It is more closely related to crabs than lobsters & is known for its color & hair-like structures called setae, which help it sense vibrations & filter food.
