“The job of law enforcement has never been harder.”

As fans pour into New Orleans for the Super Bowl, city officials have tried to find workarounds to a state law that lets adults carry a gun without a permit or training. The law means police can’t check to see if people are legally armed.
Coolers Are Banned Near This Year’s Super Bowl. Guns? They’re OK
New Orleans is one of many cities hamstrung by state legislatures hostile to gun regulation. Local police and officials have tried to find workarounds.

If you are scared to protest now, remember: this is the easiest it will ever be. Life under dictatorships is pure hell & lasts for decades, probably the rest of your lives if you don’t stop them now. Read about Iran, Syria, Afghanistan – sooner or later you have to overthrow them. Choose sooner. #3E
End impunity
End autogenocide
End oligarchy

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period.

I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt.

But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

BREAKING: AOC blames crash on Trump / Elon

“I represent LGA Airport as well as workers for JFK. Trump gutted the Aviation Safety committee last week. Air traffic controllers, already understaffed, got Trump’s “buyout” this wk with a 1 wk ultimatum to decide. It’s not DEI - it’s him. And Elon too.”

We are living through Republicanism boiled down to its essence: Everyone should be deprived of everything, because otherwise, somebody I don't like might get something I don't want them to have. We call it an ideology, but it's really a personality: Greedy, withholding, suspicious, angry, cruel.

Another article explaining the many fatal flaws of the recent “paper” claiming vaccines cause autism:

A recent study did NOT show vaccines cause autism, but RFK Jr. keeps pushing the lie.
Yet again, anti-vaccine activists self-published a “study” to spread disinformation and profit off fear.

Trump is a disrupter in the same way that a dog who shits on your carpet is, except that the dog has many redeeming qualities
