"If they can't afford plywood, some owners rebuild the store out of straw. That's when the big bad wolf comes in. Very bad guy. Radical leftist wolf. Vice-president of antifa. He comes over and he, he just blows the stores down. That's not normal. Maybe he got that way from being vaccinated."

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

Network news could put this guy on the air during like Lester Holt or the Sunday shows but they don't because they know stories like this would help stop the administration and then the big bet they made on fascism would be for nothing

🧵Thread. Literally about losing the recipes.

One factor that impedes a lot of young people's attempt to learn home cooking, if they didn't get a foundation at home, is that fast food joints use custom tools, mechanized processes, and strict formulas for how to Make Official Thingy, so they don't learn how to use home kitchens or adapt recipes.

In the pursuit of deskilling the labor as much as possible in order to exploit restaurant workers as much as possible, the big chains fuck over everyone involved.

One big reason why all these assholes are pushing the autism button so hard is:

For-profit institutionalization gives them guaranteed and *monetized* access to children they can sexually abuse, and all these freaks are Epstein associates

it's only racial profiling if it comes from the racial profiling region of france. otherwise it's sparkling reasonable suspicion.

McLaughlin: "Pritzker said there's racial profiling, which is absolutely false. Our officials use reasonable suspicion. That's protected under the US Constitution 4th Amendment."

Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records

The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

Everyone can set aside partisanship, psychologizing, pathologizing, whatever, and—I would hope—still see that it’s incredibly dangerous for a political leader to be this disconnected from the real conditions in the country.

New: Apple banned an app that simply archived videos of ICE abuses. Rather than other apps that record ICE official's real-time location, Eyes Up is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." Videos from TikTok etc. Every submission manually reviewed

Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses

Eyes Up's purpose is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." But it has been swept up in Apple's crackdown on ICE-spotting apps.
