I think people should start sharing their stories. Itβs the only way to make this clusterfuck seem more real. Ex: Iβve taken on a part time job just in case the government stops funding social security and Medicare. Never thought Iβd have to second guess my country in retirement.
Federal employees are heading home today; however, members of Congress will continue to receive their salary. As the humorist Andy Borowitz wrote: βThatβs like eliminating the fire dept & sending checks to the arsonists.β
"The point is that voters are hungry for authenticity, for leaders who understand their lives, and for a Democratic Party that fights as hard as the stakes demand."

But you use your politics as leverage to strip women and you use your politics to carve up a state so that you can ensure votes of minorities don't count and votes of people who don't think like you count. Just-Dance-Vance should really try to stop making himself look stupid. May be too hard for him
Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."
Most things he says has zero backing.

After reading the note, the roommate responded, "What?????????????? You're joking, right????" I am still ok my love, but am stuck in orem for a little while longer yet. Shouldn't be long until I can come home, but I gotta grab my rifle still. To be honest I had hoped to keep this secret till I died of old age. I am sorry to involve you. you weren't the one who did it right???? I am, I'm sorry I thought they caught the person? no, they grabbed some crazy old dude, then interrogated someone in similar clothing. I had planned to grab my rifle from my drop point shortly after, but most of that side of town got locked down. Its quiet, almost enough to get out, but theres one vehicle lingering. Why? Why did I do it? Yeah I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can't be negotiated out. If I am able to grab my rifle unseen, I will have left no evidence. Going to attempt to retrieve it again, hopefully they have moved on. I haven't seen anything about them finding it. How long have you been planning this? a bit over a week I believe. I can get close to it but there is a squad car parked right by it. I think they already swept that spot, but I don't wanna chance it I'm wishing I had circled back and grabbed it as soon as I got to my vehicle... I'm worried what my old man would do if I didn't bring back grandpas rifle... idek if it had a serial number, but it wouldn't trace to me. I worry about prints I had to leave it in a bush where I changed outfits. didn't have the ability or time to bring it with. .... I might have to abandon it and hope they don't find prints. how the fuck will I explain losing it to my old man only thing I left was the rifle wrapped in a towel remember how I was engraving bullets? The fuckin messages are mostly a big meme, if I see "notices bulge uwu" on fox new I might have a stroke alright im gonna have to leave it, that really fucking sucks.
Trying to reconcile the vaguely 40-year-old-Victorian-gentleman-sounding diction in these texts that the FBI says Robinson sent to his roommate with the terminally-online memebot persona that aligns with the messages he inscribed on the bullets and the images in his social media trail π€

So the fake claims of "trans" and "antifa" symbols comes from both ammo stamps and casing inscriptions wrongly reported.
They try to paint Tyler as left, but like Crooks this is a fringe right wing Groyper.

A federal judge in Boston said she found it "difficult to conclude anything other than that [the Trump administration] used antisemitism as a smokescreen for a targeted, ideologically-motivated assault on this country's premier universities, and did so in a way that runs afoul of [federal law]."
