Anyone find a decent search engine? I want a particular brand, size and colour of shoes. Google: Here's a different brand, from a fake website, and it's not the same colour. They're also men's. It's literally un-usable at this point to find anything. I'm now calling stores which will take me hours.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.

The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

THIS. If American women don't realize they're about to lose their property, their credit cards, their bank accounts, their right to an education, and then their basic human rights... they better wake up, real fast. Because it's clear to the rest of the world where this is heading.
The media isn't looking far enough ahead here. Use of the "wine mom" label plus words like "confusion", "deluded", "mistaking" is the beginning of a push for Saudi-style limits on what women are allowed to do outside the home - the fascists want to frame 👉 women speaking👈 as illegitimate.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"
