Markwayne Mullins thinks this is ok. It’s not Ok this man looks like a construction worker with a gun. Oscar was trying to get his son out of danger. Would you pull over for this guy? Ice is out of control.

So much for Trump’s “Golden Age” of economic opportunity. Inflation is up more than 5% since he returned to the White House. Whether it’s the President’s tariffs, war with Iran, or cuts to health care and food assistance, his Administration is making it harder for you to afford the basics.

Trump stole millions of dollars from us to buy those campaign ads. Of course he won't pay us back. He's a criminal who should be in prison right now.

Trump Does Not Plan to Reimburse Taxpayers for Promotional Ads
A day after the president said his super PAC would pay for the ads, which had drawn bipartisan backlash, officials said that he meant moving forward. A new taxpayer-funded ad aired Tuesday.

Iran is not going to attack California, but one or a bunch of his deplorables might, given how he’s greenlit the whole thing. They know he’s got their back and would pardon them for any crimes, like he pardoned and protected the J6’ers and his fellow Epstein child molesters.

"Surveillance is not safety," EFF's Rindala Alajaji said, via @nbcbayarea.com. "That’s why EFF and the ACLU of Northern California are suing the city of San Jose on behalf of SIREN and CAIR - because in a single year, San Jose PD ran over 250,000 warrantless searches on this location data."

PETA are protesting *wool*? No animal should be harmed in harvesting wool. Depending on climate, shearing may even be necessary. No wonder even other animal rights groups think PETA is nuts

From the vantage of having given up and using the US Paramount subscription that I already had, why don’t the club just use YouTube? Match Day Live seems fairly trouble free, so the comms team already know that tech. Why reinvent the wheel?

Is this because we both suspect that Netanyahu will complete his stated goal of eradicating all Palestinians from the planet, aka genocide? And so far, the international community don’t appear able to do jack shit to stop him?

What do you think happens to Palestine if Hamas disarms and trusts the international community to make Israel honor any agreement to stop the genocide?

You’re right. I still think the fact that he has any safe haven at all offends the notion of international justice.

The ultra-wealthy keep trying to pit the rest of us against each other with scare tactics ("communists!" "men in the ladies room!!" "brown people!!!" "drag queens!!!!") to keep us from noticing that our real problem is THEM. They want us to fight *any* war—except a class war. Happy Labor Day.

Hamas have agreed to disarm in exchange for Israel leaving Gaza and the West Bank. But they aren’t going to just blindly trust Israel’s pinky promise. I don’t blame them.

You’re right. I had ICJ and ICC conflated. I plead lack of coffee. :) Either way, Netanyahu isn’t likely to be held accountable. IMO, that makes a mockery of “international law.”
