My cynicism says it’s also because they’re aware of climate change and its effects on food stability. So they’re trying to “program” themselves to live without it.
And yeah, they’re also joyless assholes.

Ask your nearest CEO what they’re favorite food is and see what they say. If they are all about Soylent and supplements as a way to fuel their productivity but have no interest in the beautiful sensation of food itself, BE WARY!!

These kids had to be walked to prison by school officials bcz there is no family to take them. They have committed no crime and didn’t get a trial. They are in prison and are in 3rd and 5th grade.
“We had to deliver them to a detention center,” principal Jason Kuhlman said about the second grader and fifth grader.

Zero. None. And that’s forever! Not temporarily or accidentally. Not one child ever.
The only acceptable number of children for any government to kidnap and traffic and cage is zero, every year
The number of children in ICE detention on a given day has skyrocketed, jumping more than sixfold since the start of the second Trump administration. We analyzed data obtained by the Deportation Data Project and found that ICE held around 170 children on an average day under Trump.

For the people who keep saying we should wait for midterms. That man has been broadcasting his plans since day 1.
Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

He easily found hundreds of death threats against Rep. Ilhan Omar. He wants Twitter to stop them.
Cybersecurity expert Chad Loder said he’s been frustrated by the platform’s seeming inability to crack down on accounts that espouse racist, homophobic and violent rhetoric.

I don't want to celebrate how Ilhan Omar was ready to throw down. Tired of valorizing Black women as fighters, that dude should have been stopped and stomped out before he got close to her.

i think a lot of well meaning people underestimate how many people actually like, trust, and want to keep funding a militarized police force. the "aversion" to the word "abolish" is that people want to keep cops around.
Question for the crowd:
Why do you think moderates, liberals, and other folks are scared or have an aversion to the word “abolish”?

So once ice vehicles have been discovered and are being followed, they often become incapable of doing their sinister work.
This is why people risk their lives to tail federal agents, all over the twin cities and the suburbs.

Essentially, what stops abductions is when crowds outnumber the masked kidnappers. When people aggressively follow ICE with whistles and horns, crowds are ready to show up. If they show up fast enough, ICE leaves and a family is not broken. (People here understand the stakes).

Another question I came here with was: how effective are the whistles and honking? Does it stop abductions? And the answer is, surprisingly to my cynical self, yes, and often. I have talked to so many people who have successfully interrupted kidnappings.
