Starbuck's energy drink touts it's "plant based caffeine" content.
Where else does caffeine occur naturally?
If it was an animal, it would extinct in the wild and hooked up to machines like a bear for its gall bile.....

Bell is 94% Hispanic. Those folks know who ICE is harassing and kidnapping.
In Bell, CA an entire community stood up against ICE, including the local police and the fire dept. The fire truck appears to not allow ICE vehicles to move forward nor remain and pushes forward to escort them out. A police car also helped with escorting. /

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

Scanlon: The Gulf of Mexico was so named over 500 years ago. If we want to update that name to reflect our current culture, maybe we should call it the Sea of Emoluments—you know, the place where we can board the Ship of Fools and navigate from a State of Ignorance to the Confederacy of Dunces…

Certainly hope there is a strong willful Democratic Congress and Presidency in 4 years.
There's a lot of cleanup, and treasonous actions to investigate.

How odd that when Trump announced his “deal” with Mexico he failed to mention that the US committed to halting the flow of assault weapons from the US to Mexico. Why did he leave that out?
