Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."

I know he has legit reasons walking can be rough, and maybe it’s over the line, but that totally looked intentional to me 🤷🏼‍♀️

☹️You were supposed to ask how so I could make fun of him for flopping like a soccer player trying to get her yellowcarded for asking if he has a scrap of human decency

Because that’s what it looked like to me

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

Oh, fuck all the way off, WaPo.

VA’s disability program is an ‘honor system.’ These veterans are defrauding it.

Post investigation finds VA’s $193 billion disability program has turned into a rich target for fraudsters. Some fake blindness or paralysis to get as much as $1 million.

What I don't have in experience, I make up for in integrity.

And what Andrew Cuomo lacks in integrity, he could never make up for with experience.

Let us celebrate our new arrangement with the adding of snart to helg.

A lady is pushing the 'snart' (soon in Norwegian) on the 'helg' (weekend in Norwegian) machine, indicating a powerful feeling of snart helg ('soon weekend').

This is terrifying. This is the kind of spyware used against Jamal Khashoggi. ICE has demonstrated its enthusiastic cruelty; it should not have tools like this.

Justin Hendrix @justinhendrix.bsky.social · 5d

ICE has also purchased spyware in recent weeks that enables it to remotely hack into smartphones and extract data, even if the phones are locked or communication is over encrypted apps. One of them, developed by the company Paragon, has drawn considerable concern from civil rights groups due to its use by other governments to monitor political dissidents and journalists. ICE’s initial $2 million contract for Paragon spyware was suspended by the Biden administration due to those ethical concerns, but the contract was reactivated on Aug. 29.

When working from home it’s important to still have set rituals that demarcate boundaries between home and work, personal time and work time. This is why I always change out of my pajamas and put on the nice sweatpants
