Yesterday they were shooting priests in the head with rubber bullets. Today they're arresting journalists. If you have anyone in your life who doesn't regularly follow the news and doesn't understand how bad things are and how bad they're about to get, you need to tell them right now. Time is short.

The new speed humps on JPA ext are slowing people down. I will admit that I can drive right over them without slowing but I drive the speed limit, I don’t think you can line up your wheels correctly if you are driving fast. Almost every car is slowing down for these humps.

RFK Jr: "Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant -- she's an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School -- and she is saying 'F Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology."

Cville peeps - avoid Harris road near Jackson Via. A gas line was struck so the road is shut down while they investigate and evacuate nearby residents.
