(He/Him) Human Paperweight. Compassion will be key in the harsh days ahead. We're all we got.
Hey Democrats. Remember how leftists spent the last 10+ yrs telling you your favorite party leaders where useless GOP collaborators, and how you called us bots and said we don't understand politics?

I think you may be starting to understand what we were talking about now. If so, good on you!

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) has been decimating cervid (deer, moose, elk) populations. The prion unit looks for signs of a CWD species jump into high-risk people such as hunters, but the Republican politicized CDC could lay them off in Jan.

Better training won't fix ICE because it is doing what it was created to do.

Likewise, better voting won't fix the DNC because it is doing what it was created to do.

Same goes for putting better regulations on capitalism.

Good summary of “don’t give him what he wants” from relatively comfortable white liberals.

I find it necessary these days to affirm the obvious because the descent into fascism is mostly a continuous, not discrete, process so here it goes:

these are internal checkpoints by secret police for what is routine freedom of movement.
It’s been reported locally, but I’m not sure how much national notice this has gotten. As part of this invasion by shithead goons, they are putting ICE agents in jetbridges and other parts of the airport at Minneapolis-Saint Paul. If you are flying Delta via MSP, you are putting yourself at risk.
ICE agents to begin checking documents at MSP airport, patrol jet bridges - Minneapolis / St. Paul Business Journal
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents will begin checking documents of travelers and workers at MSP airport, with patrols inside jet bridges.

Sorry I just think relying on polls and statistics to decide if the American gestapo are good or bad is evidence of extreme hollowing of the soul

Hey democrats. You've tried "Good Trouble" but have you considered trying Effective Trouble? Might be worth looking into.

hey, remember how dumb and laughable it was that Trump I created “Space Force” but then Biden came into office and instead of getting rid of it, gave it even more $ and now it’s just simply accepted and codified as yet another belligerent branch of the military to drain taxpayer resources?

Capitalists: People require jobs and careers to give meaning to their lives and make them happy.

Also capitalists: AI will create a utopia, where everyone is happy, by eliminating everyone's jobs.

Dr Oz says they’re withholding all Medicaid funds for Minnesota.

This will kill people.

They’re going to force the most vulnerable to suffer to score political points.

There are other ways to address alleged fraud that don’t involve leaving the disabled, poor and marginalized without healthcare.

Resistance libs cheering for this, but lamenting that it wasn't done through the proper procedures and channels, is exactly why they can't be trusted to fix any of this.

They just want an empire that smiles and does more paperwork before it indiscriminately rampages.
