20 Year Military Vet, Pro Choice Feminist, Atheist, AntiNRA Gun Owning Democrat, Retired Stevedore Manager, Over 30 Years Anti trump. The Supreme Court is illegitimate. Vote like your life depends on it because it just might. Warning: I swear a lot
When lay offs hit the Port of LA I hope at least one MAGA longshoreman remembers that I told them voting for trump was a horrible idea.

Never forget that this country allowed a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist to tear down 1/3 of the white house with no permits and no oversight from the legislature.

Fuck ICE, Fuck CBP, Fuck DHS, & everyone that works for them, supports them, or voted for the GOP candidates. They can all eat shit and die.

Shit like this along with a bloated number of officers on the payroll is why the LAPD is the largest item on the Los Angeles city's budget.

Whiskey Pete Hegseth is a booze addled, bible thumping, white nationalist, christofascist, has cheated on every one of his wives, is accused of multiple sexual assaults, & most of what he says are racist and sexist dog whistles. Thank you for attention to this matter.

When people claim to be a "good christian" to me that means they are not to be trusted with anything. I grew up in a Southern Baptist household in Alabama in the 60's & 70's, had an uncle who was a preacher and I know who those people are.

Tech tip of the day: If you switch to a new cell phone check to make sure your blocked numbers are still blocked or a text from one of your MAGA sisters that you haven't spoken to since 2017 may end up getting through.
Rather than ask if ICE got her daughter in law yet I just blocked the number.

If you are looking for a really good laptop that has great specs, will work great for a good price, and not cause you to feel anger, frustration, or like you have been cheated, this one ISN'T for you. Also I think every tech reviewer is a paid off scam artist.

Let me get this straight, members of the DHS, ICE, CBP gestapo can go into churches, mosques, temples, or other houses of worship to arrest and or kidnap people but civilians are committing a crime if they go in the same places and protest. I call bullshit on the whole fucking thing.

Not one member of DHS "enforcement", CBP, ICE, or any of the other agencies involved in chasing down the undocumented like they were members of slave patrols deserve a moment of peace for the rest of their lives. They have revealed that they are who I thought they were when I worked next to them.

If the ILWU on the West Coast and the ILA on the Gulf and East Coasts refused to unload container ships until the bullshit was stopped ICE raid would probably end in about a week. It won't happen though because a lot of longshore labor are deep in the MAGAt bullshit.

I hope no one is naive enough to be surprised by this but still awake enough to be outraged by it.
If you thought the First Amendment was untouchable, think again. The recent arrest of Don Lemon in Los Angeles for his attendance at an anti-ICE protest inside a Minnesota church is not just news it’s a warning.

I was thinking about checking out the Oaktree Gun Club because the facility looks really nice on their website but now I think they can go fuck themselves. Hosting an event for a shitbag that's more corrupt than Lee Baca ever was is a sure way to make it onto my fuck you list.

This un-elected piece of shit has become one of the most powerful people in D.C. We have a self loathing Jewish person who hates himself so much that he has made himself into a literal Nazi pulling the strings of the Oval Office.

NRA members, gun owners, and anyone who exercises the 1st & 2nd Amendments,
You had better make peace with the fact that this is what the current federal government has in store for you. This is especially true if you attempt to exercise 1A & 2A at the same time.
