A lot of this is ICE: fruit and vegetable prices in Southern California are LOWER than usual because Central Valley stuff is so ripe when they pick it that it can't ship far. Ex: A 12oz box of huge sweet blackberries for $2.99. Same with cherries from the north, which have been on sale all summer.

The only photos from DC on my phone are from January 6, 2021, when I accompanied my wife who went to take photos for a graduate thesis project on women and rightwing extremism. It was a hell hole that day. Challenge defeated.

I got the offer from Basic Books on Election Day '24. I refrained from posting because it's a book about how our most celebrated founders tried (and failed) to create a monarchical United States--and the dangers they left behind in the Constitution. Keeps getting more relevant in all the worst ways.

And we even have "resistance" blue wave birthers!
Just in case anyone thought conspiracism was a purely right-wing thing. The center-left version is not as nutty as QAnon. But it's working on it.

And here they go! Blue resistance "influencers" claiming the 2024 presidential election was stolen and are now calling for a liberal version of January 6. These people are dangerous.
Best thing you can do is block Jack Hopkins, Jim Stewartson, Dave Troy, Jackie Singh and the rest.
