So here's one idea. Maybe don't fire artillery shells over a civilian interstate, even if the vice president thinks it'd be a cool way to own the libs.

Lt. Col. Lindsay Pirek, a spokeswoman for the First Marine Expeditionary Force at Camp Pendleton, said the Corps was aware of the report of a possible airborne detonation, and an investigation was underway.
"We are committed to determining the incident's root cause and applying findings to future missions," Colonel Pirek said. The statement did not provide additional detail on the munitions used during the exercise.

That industry has been replaced by AI, which is on the cusp of a burst bubble just like housing and which will hurt Black Americans most of all. Within five years these centers will be crumbling and sitting on useless land that could have been used for filming or farming. Now poisoned.

Georgians are sick to death of the racism. Of the scamming. And most importantly, of the fact that the one industry that was legitimately growing in the state--entertainment--has been chased overseas via tariffs and ICE. theweek.com/culture-life...

One out of every three people living in Georgia is black. Every tech company flocking to Georgia to exploit us and our land is relying on:

1) Republican disenfranchisement of black voters.
2) White people hating black people.

I don't think either is too reliable in this climate.

"Gov. Brian Kemp vetoed legislation last year that aimed to end tax breaks for data centers."

I cannot wait until we are free of Kemp.

Georgia’s data center expansion is rapidly transforming the state’s economic and physical landscape, from metro Atlanta to rural counties.

I think it’s great the president can publicly imagine shitting all over Americans and the Sunday show pussies will totally ignore it.

Trump clocks in at 37%-61% in new AP-NORC poll. It’s the worst poll of his rancid 2nd term. Happy No Kings Day!

Hark, Speaker Mike Johnson! Looking at all the many, many pics of the enormous, joyous “No Kings” rallies throughout the United States today, I am struck by what lovely weather your Lord and Savior provided. Apparently, God is a fan of, as you claimed, "America-hating Antifa terrorists." Glory!

The Trump administration is planning to change the US refugee system to favor white people. At the same time, they’re in the Supreme Court fighting to gut the Voting Rights Act.

It’s no wonder young Republicans are sending racist messages. Racism is the official policy of the Republican Party.

I feel like George Santos exemplifies a lot of what’s broken in the “justice” system. He was a corrupt politician, he briefly experienced the horrors of inhumane prison conditions, then the corrupt president moved to yank him out—and his victims received none of what they were owed in the process
