Tweet from @qasimrashid reading, "Establishment Dems lost 2 of last 3 POTUS elections, lost House & Senate, lost SCOTUS 6-3, fialed to codify Roe, or voting rights, or universal healthcare, or immigration reform, or repeal Citizens United, or a living wage, or prosecute Trump-but their unholy outrage is reserved for the brown Muslim immigrant who had the audacity to run and Win on lowering grocery, rent, travel, & childcare costs. And they wonder why they have a 25% approval rating in which nearly 70% want new party leadership."

Everybody makes mistakes, and old people like me do occasionally get confused. Please stop with the b.s. about #TrumPutin being on top of his game, etc.

@uclalibrary.bsky.social and the Brain Research Institute at UCLA figure prominently in my family's history. I'm not happy about how pro-Semitic thugs attacked the "encampment" for Palestine on the Quad in Spring 2024, but the demand that UC pay the Federal Govt. is extortion.

Thank goodness there are no signs of a climate emergency (floods, storms that knock out the power grid) in his district!
A graphic with a tweet from Keith Self reading: “For years, Democrats have rigged the market, forcing Americans to accept and fund their far-left climate change agenda. The Trump EPA is putting an end to this, delivering a major victory for freedom and the American taxpayer.”

Plenty of discomfort, but how much action? To take a positive action, Sen. Booker never asked for others to do anything uncomfortable during his marathon speech. Tell me there'll be a filibuster next week, and I'll be out in the streets.
Photo of former President Barack Obama with a recent comment he made to Democratic donors: 'What's being asked of us is make some effort to stand up for the things that you think are right. And be willing to be a little bit uncomfortable in defense of your values. And in defense of the country. And in defense of the world that you want to leave to you children and your grandchildren'

The Governor seems to think that this will improve their image and tourism. Nice that they include email and phone at bottom!

I've always heard "86" as a euphemism for denying future entry &/or forcing someone to leave a place of business. Saying it is a call to violence means saying "fight, fight, fight" is one, too (IMO).

I can't find anything about this second arrest. Is this another example of Fox and news not aligning?
