psychomom1966 1d OK, so turns out I am stupid, big surprise to everyone I know, but as my friend pointed out, Democrats are not holding out for healthcare for illegal aliens. They’re holding out to continue the affordable care act which I am participating in at the moment. So get your shit together Trump because I did not vote for you for my health insurance to go up 400% starting in January. millennialindebt 1d You did vote for that actually... natalierfields 1d *Cue @chescaleigh* 🎵 I never thought the leopards would eat MY face 🎵

Wore mine today, along with my frog hat! 😊
Large protest crowd with various signs. Person at the bottom left-center is wearing a green hat with frog eyes, sunglasses, and a black respirator mask, and is carrying a sign that says "Frogs Against Fascist Oppression"

And the 15 looks bad too, presumably because people are using it to bypass the closure. Talk about the long way around... wow.

One last one from the #Sacramento #NoKings #protest. This one made me laugh out loud.
Protest sign that says "...and he cheats at golf"

Two more pics from the #Sacramento #NoKings #protest. The Oscar the Grouch one is a work of art.
A protest sign. Sign is hand-painted on black posterboard. It shows Oscar the Grouch peering out of his trash can, which has a red sign that says "Make America Garbage Again", and a smaller sign that says "Keep Out". A larger red sign is sticking high out of the trash can that says "Finally a POTUS who appreciates quality trash". Masked woman holding a full-posterboard protest sign that says "I like my country like I like my Dr Pepper - NO ICE". The last two words are stenciled.

Four photos from the #NoKings #Sacramento #protest today.
Sacramento, California Capitol building with protestors in front. Taken from the southwest corner. My two protest signs: Make Amphibians Great Again (MAGA) and Frogs Against Fascist Oppression (FAFO) A protest sign styled to look like a Charizard Pokemon card. A smaller sign taped above it says "Charizard used Fireblast! ICE has fainted!" A person in an inflatable bear costume is holding a protest sign that looks like the California flag, only the bear is a larger photo of a grizzly, and the flag is yellow and says "DON'T TREAD ON US"

Perfect, no notes.
(Exodus 8:2-6) "But if you refuse to let them go, then I will plague your whole country with frogs... The frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your officials." Image is three people standing around at night in inflatable frog costumes in what is presumably portland.

I'm going to Costco and buying an entire sheet cake and setting up a card table in my front yard and handing out cake to my neighbors until it's gone.

Actually, I think I will need two cakes.

ICE agent on Reddit confirms that they are being taken off of other cases, like chasing down child trafficking and CSAM, to meet Trump's arrest quotas.

www.reddit.com/r/ICE_ERO/co...
jrc1896 25d ago I cannot speak for ERO. But for HSI absolutely. Been taken off child exploitation cases to chase quotas. Also am a digital forensics agent and have no time to do anything with that. HSI morale sucks with us playing ERO and chasing quotas. HabeusCorso 25d ago That's a goddamn shame that they would take you off something that important. Is this for CSAM agents everywhere or is it just in your office? jrc1896 25d ago I can only speak to my office. Things are very SAC dependent. We technically get a few days a pay period to work investigations, but that doesn’t jive with digital forensics especially. I can’t accomplish anything.

Comment someone made on a discussion about kids using gen AI.
Google is like searching a library very quickly for the information you need. Chat bots are like asking your drunk friend who thinks they know everything but BS's half of what they say. AI being everywhere is not an excuse. There's booze at the grocery store, but that doesn't mean it is responsible for me to walk the aisles chugging a beer.

Ours out here in Sacramento has been more or less stable since last summer's wave, but it's never been as low as your lows. Overall though, the long period of relative stability we have is giving me hope. Still not stopping masking though!

It shows that the peak was near 500 last summer, and levels have been between 50-120 for the past few months. 3-month WastewaterScan COVID data for Sacramento, CA.

Here's my 9yo's sign!
9yo with a baseball emoji covering his face, wearing a green sweatshirt and red and gray striped pajama pants, holding a hand-drawn sign with a green dumpster labeled "TRUMP" in large red letters. The dumpster is on fire.

From Sacramento today!
Protest sign written in Spanish that says, "MIRA PENDEJO. TE CALMAS O TE CALMAMOS!" Translated, this means, "Look asshole, calm down or we calm you down!" The sign also has a picture of a hand brandishing a flip flop threateningly, referred to as a chancla in Latin American countries.

My signs for today's #NoKings rally in Sacramento ❤️
Collage of the front and back of my homemade protest sign. Top photo says "First they came for the immigrants, and we said NO". Bottom photo says "STOP KIDNAPPING MY STUDENTS" and has flags of some of the countries my students this past year were from, including Mexico, Afghanistan, Samoa, Philippines, and Ukraine.

I have no clue who he is either, but a quick scan of his profile shows me he believes protestors should only fly American flags, & David Hogg should be the next face of the Dems. So, basically a young white dude who believes young white dudes are the party's base.

Reminder why Hogg is problematic:
Twitter screenshot from TheVigilantFox, text with at attached image of David Hogg being interviewed on the Bill Maher Show: "NEW: David Hogg gets a huge reaction from Bill Maher after saying Democrats need to reconnect with young men who just want to “get laid and have fun” without walking on eggshells. He said the parties have flipped. Democrats are now the snobs who judge your every move, whereas Republicans are much less rigid. “What I think happened last election is younger men—they would rather vote for somebody who they don’t completely agree with, they don’t feel judged by, than somebody who they agree with, that they feel like they have to walk on eggshells around constantly because they’re going to be judged or ostracized or excommunicated.” And because of that, young men are walking away. “Nobody is perfect. But ultimately, what we have to do here is figure out how to bring people back in and work towards the bigger goal of advancing the future of this country and helping young people especially get by, so that they’re able to focus on their lives and getting with a young woman or something like that, instead of how are they going to pay their rent, for example, or how are they working their two jobs. “Young people should be able to focus on what young people should be focused on, which is how to get laid and how to go and have fun.” Maher clapped, stood up, and shook Hogg’s hand after that comment.

7:12 AM PDT. If there were truly an insurrection, you'd see helicopters - police and media - circling over the involved areas as the sun comes up, monitoring for unrest. Yet there's not a single helicopter anywhere in the LA area. Because there was NO INSURRECTION.
A screenshot of a map of southern California from the app FlightRadar24. It shows a number of planes flying over southern California, but, notably, no helicopters.

I have popped onto their channel at various times today, and it's always something different. Right now it's what's clearly an old report (there was still snow on the ground!) about some incident in Big Bear. So, it's really not at all helpful.
Screenshot from ABC 7 in LA that is a transcript of a 911 call in the town of Big Bear. It's absolutely not related to the protests. Screenshot from ABC 7 of San Bernardino County Sheriff Gregg Herbert speaking at a press conference, with the date "2013" in the upper left corner.

For those of you who've seen the Daily Beast articles
about the ICE agents&migrants being stuck in a shipping container in Djibouti, know that it's almost certainly a containerized housing unit, which is how the military houses most troops at Camp Lemonnier, the base at which they are being held.
A three-tier stack of Containerized Housing Units at Camp Lemonnier in Djibouti. The photo is angled toward the viewer so that the rows of CHUs appear to vanish toward the horizon. It appears to be about 20 containers long, so, 60 total in the photo. Inside a Containerized Housing Unit. The beige room appears to have three boxcar-style bedrooms, each containing vinyl plank flooring, a twin bunk bed, and two lockers. There is a fluorescent light on the ceiling.
