No longer on "X" and probably shouldn't be on here. I joined social media in 2016 with the idea that together, we will ensure good things continue to happen, in spite of Trump.

It’s notable that the purportedly liberal news outlet consigns Noem’s very well documented relationship with Lewandowski to the status of a disavowed rumor and buries it in the last paragraph of this report on her divorce filing. www.ms.now/news/kristi-...

Kristi Noem files for divorce from Bryon Noem
The announcement of the separation comes six months after a bombshell tabloid photo leak of her husband, Bryon Noem.

The White House has taken steps to ensure local ALPR systems are fed into the “High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area” (HIDTA) program. For example: cities in Georgia can't operate ALPR systems without signing a “memorandum of understanding” (MOU) in which they promise to send their data to a HIDTA.

WSJ Exclusive: The Trump admin used federal funds from the Department of Homeland Security to finance those controversial pro-Trump ads that started airing on TV. The taxpayer money used to fund the ads came from U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

White House calls the spots public-service ads, but critics argue using taxpayer money for campaign-like messaging may violate federal law.

I think some Dems might sneak by in a wave year election running these anti-trans ads that abandon an entire section of the population, but they won't be able to outrun it with Democratic voters longterm. The more time goes on, the more likely they are to know a trans person. A permanent duncecap.

You can tell, with all of the explicit ethnic cleansing making everything worse and more expensive, the GOP's next target is just to go all out on gender wars. Everyone on X or Rumble is complaining about nagging women 24/7, with brief respites for holocaust denial. Full 4chan incel GOP incoming.

Reading stories like this really underscores how needless the "performative heroism" of people on social media is. The psychoanalyzing of complete strangers from an armchair. Too many people look for opportunities to "be in the right". Helps that it's mostly consequence-free.

From 16,000 to 185 to Zero. The Trump admin claimed as many as 16,000 noncitizens had been registered to vote in Nevada. Then DHS came back and said the number was actually 185. This week, Nevada told the admin every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.

After reviewing my security cameras, it seems my neighbor scooped ash from his burn pit, and spread it in a few places on his empty lot, and in a couple spots on mine where they abut. He clearly doesn't have ill intent or he wouldn't put most of it on his own property. Ash Wednesday? 🤷 🤣
