When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.
Trump really hates these silly judges and laws that keep interfering with his grand plans and unfettered greed.
Well a good start would be significantly reducing the defense budget, no? (I understand the tension between this suggestion and the fact that we’re in a war right now.)
I say the rich start paying 98% taxes on ANY assets over $99.9 million or we might as well go the French Revolution route because we're in excess of the wealth inequity and irresponsible government that helped spur THAT into motion.
it's not just going to be serious debt people, tbh, like, it is actually going to a capital P problem by the time a dem takes office, not a made-up one, and anyone running for office this year or in two years is going to have to be part of a solution, we actually *can't* kick the can much further
Switzerland breaks their centuries long neutrality to tell you one thing:
US AND ISRAEL VIOLATE INTERNATIONAL LAW.
Looked through job listings after paying a pending bill, which was fun seeing my account drain that much more and there being fuck-all in the way of employment opportunities that are less strenuous and I can qualify for which don't pay less. Just really depressed now, not that I wasn't before... 😮💨
I feel bad for the average Russian who didn't have the money and timing to get out of the Muscovite regime's territory but that is also conditional on if they have and still do support the leadership and its actions in Ukraine and beyond.
Folded flags and more war crimes coming soon...
"They hate us for our freedom!" popular propaganda outlet Fox "News" talking heads cry while chyron ticks through how much winning the economy is experiencing for struggling Americans who can foot $1bn/day for war but not socialize medicine, education or house the homeless.
Krasnov and crew need to be dragged before the Hague or an American tribunal with no pardons, no parole and the customary Nuremberg Prizes for Character (or rather lack thereof) to be carried out immediately thereafter.
Because of this, it's currently possible to link directly to DDoSecrets.org pages on X/Twitter.
If you're still there, share the wealth of leaks while you can.
Sic 'em, Kat.
Here's wishing the Duma and other agents of mayhem destroying Russia, Ukraine and (by proxy) America a very die screaming.
If the government does not honor the social contract then we have no obligation to obey and every incentive to resist up to and including revolt. After their treatment by the same government, one would hope that military personnel will join The People, but I don't trust they would frankly...
1. Pressure is intensifying from Trump to bypass the filibuster over anti-trans and voter disenfranchisement provisions.
Cornyn, one of the biggest historical Republican supporters of the filibuster, has now flipped on it.
Thune still says he doesn't have the votes to do so.
My latest story.
You joke but give it a month and they're going to be using the Japanese internment camps as precedent to lock up Iranian-Americans.
Law enforcement are simultaneously the thin blue line keeping the country from descending into chaos and incapable of protecting us unless we give up more rights.

I prefer to think of them thusly after what I have seen from them over the years and what I've read.
Like the American public, the Russian people who remain in the country can end this whenever they decide that enough is enough...
they're not even trying to pretend the takeover of CNN will be anything but a project to turn it into another propaganda network
the next Dem president needs to put every screw they can to Oracle and Paramount and the entire Ellison empire, it's vulnerable and debt-laden and can be destroyed

Fig. 1.Overview and examples of axial sinks. (A) Illustration of the distinction between axial and terminal sinks using Arabidopsis as an example. Enlargement of the root illustrates different stages of lateral root development. (B) Illustration of an example of regulation of axial sink strength by environmental cues: eliciting the shade avoidance response by manipulation of the light spectrum causes elongation of petioles, and is at the expense of hypocotyl/root tuber growth of radishes.

Axial carbon sinks along the phloem transport axis are key in crops such as sugarcane and cassava. Understanding phloem unloading mechanisms will enable manipulation of sugar transport to increase crop yield – Önder et al.

I'm in a really dark mindset right now. I'm depressed, anxious, and lonely; but I'm also sitting on a lot of rage at the world as it is... I'm tired of everything.
I don't know what to do because I don't want to live like this anymore. I feel like there's nothing left to look forward to...
