Rollins to Bessent: “we bailed out Argentina and then they undercut us on soybeans to China and now China is going to eat our lunch”

a man killed two people and wounded five others at a Kickapoo casino in the Rio Grande Valley today

no mention of it from Texas Gov Gerg Abbott
tweet from Gerg Abbott quote-tweeting a BNO News report on the Mormon church shooting in Michigan: "The escalation of violent attacks against people and places of faith is heinous and must end. I have directed the Texas Dept. of Public Safety to form task forces with federal and local law enforcement to better safeguard our places of worship." twitter search showing zero tweets from Gerg Abbott mentioning "kickapoo" twitter search showing zero results from Gerg Abbott's press office account mentioning "kickapoo"

saw this on facebook and was pleased/surprised to see that there were a lot of comments along the lines of “this is nazi propaganda”
facebook post from the Department of Labor it’s reminiscent of a nazi/soviet propaganda poster there’s a white man with blond hair and chiseled jaw - you know, a good Aryan - wearing a button down shirt and blue jeans, a very determined look on his face, with a field of construction activity behind him the text on the poster reads “BUILD YOUR HOMELAND’S FUTURE!”

for the life of me i can’t remember what inspired this
a twitter thread from my now banned twitter account "I wanted a play rooster, you see, a rooster that would mirror the joy of innocence of the children, but the farmer who sold me the rooster did not tell me that the rooster was used in what they call cock fighting, and this was not a rooster that could feel joy anymore…only the horror of combat, and the children in their innocence were unable to play with the rooster, because you see the rooster did not know they were children and that they wanted to play, which of course is a form of combat" "so what ended up happening, Mr Herzog" "the children were not victorious in their play combat and we were forced to eat the rooster though the children were not hungry"
