Internet censorship and VPN thoughts: it is quite likely internet censorship will be here soon. A VPN will disguise your address from the web - you can appear to be from other countries. We will all need reliable vpn’s before that happens. Look around… get reviews…

Watching @judiciarydems.senate.gov yesterday as they easily roped Pam Bondi into into lying under oath to Congress yesterday reminded me watching Mike Wallace catch John Ehrlichman in lies about the Watergate break-in.

Bondi has this same cockiness.

The malicious prosecution of Attorney General Tish James is baseless.

And the indictment is not worth the paper it is written on.

(New Republic) Apparently, Bondi did not prepare answers to respond to Senators in her congressional testimony, but rather spent her time preparing attack lines to change the subject and attack Democratic Senators.

Letitia James is being criminally charged for the ‘crime’ of holding Trump accountable. This indictment is the clearest sign yet that Trump’s project isn’t just corruption — it’s monarchy. He’s using the power of the federal government to punish his public servants and protect himself.

New York Attorney General Letitia James has been charged as part of a mortgage fraud investigation aggressively pushed by the Trump administration.

“Trump thrives on applause. But on ICE, the applause is fading into boos outside the Fox echo chamber. Polls show 64% of Americans want a pathway to legal status, not mass deportation. Support for abolishing ICE has climbed from 21% in late 2024 to 37% now. That’s not a fringe. That’s a movement.”

Analysis: ICE is Becoming America’s Most Hated Agency

From Pew to Quinnipiac, Americans now say the masked raiding has gone too far. Meanwhile, Trump seems unaware of his steep decline in immigration favorability.

We need a national police training system. Where to be a police officer you first need a bachelors degree then 2 years of training.
Like the civilized countries do 🤣🤣😬

Thanks, we’re trying! And are you a true introvert or only in the “this is not my crowd” situations? ^^ its hard to learn how to be social if the click just isnt there. I often felt like all the other kids had some manual I just didnt have 😆

Introvert to the max. I can handle bursts of humans but not long exposures particularly over prolonged periods.
Long exposure - 4-5 hours
Prolonged periods - more than 2 days in a row.
My battery gets low and I go quiet for a few days to recharge.

Mrs. Betty Bowers @mrsbettybowers.bsky.social · 6h

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

Trump's America really is full of contradictions. For one, why is the national cemetery at Arlington full of the graves of ANTIFA warriors, all enemies of the state? Asking for a MAGA friend.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."
