George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election?

Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official.

Be warned.

It's scary that I feel like we're living in the movie Idocracy.

They don't even show up for work. Not at the table to negotiate. Nothing.

The only thing he wants is his piece of whatever deal he makes. Selfish as always.

We've reached the point in our history where a dude in a frog costume is more serious, more mature, more intelligent, more coherent, and more Constitutionally literate than the putrid pile of orange lard occupying the Oval Office.

Reflections on History ~ The Diary of Anne Frank

The similarities are SCARY

#ProudBlue

Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes.

Families are torn apart. Men, women and children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

If they were to lower it and the market crashes. People will lose homes and the dollar will be worth nothing. Already the dollar list 10%of is value this year. Inflation is up and tarrifs are killing our pockets. Now imagine lowering the intrest and people with loans at 6-7 % will default on them

Silver is over 50 dollars an ounce. Nobody wants to hold onto the dollar. The sharks can smell the blood in the water. The crash is coming soon.

I think more of the news coming out has had a big impact on her chances. We deserve better here in California.

925Dawg @925dawg.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah no way she would get my vote in CA.

California voter here 🤚🏽

Not cool. Judge Katie Porter for yourself, but all the whiteboards in the world don’t make up for losing your cool when the questions get uncomfortable.

Even worse, flipping out on your own support team. This isn’t sexist, it’s about staying level-headed under pressure…

Yeah, this seems like the Katie Porter who responded to losing a primary by calling it rigged.

Someone who used to work with Katie Porter sent me this clip from a train wreck interview with her and said “now imagine what she’s like when there aren’t cameras around.”

"So, you're saying a third of the stock market is tied up in seven AI companies that have no way to become profitable and that this is a bubble that's going to burst and take the whole economy with it?"

I said, "Yes, that's right."
