I want people to understand this.
For many of them, democracy ended when Obama was elected twice and Black Lives Matter rose to prominence.
This is them “fixing” a system that felt broken and newly unsafe to them.

What we all seemingly failed to understand is just how many of our "countrymen" were perfectly willing to resort to treason to end democracy. And all in service of a convicted felon and lifelong conman who wasn't even very good at it.

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting.
Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.

After Border Patrol shot two people in Portland, DHS claimed they were "vicious gang members" tied to a past shooting.
But records I obtained reveal a US prosecutor has since directly contradicted DHS, saying, "We're not suggesting he is a gang member." My dive into how DHS' claims have collapsed:

I feel like maybe it’s a function of everyone online being born in 2002 but I don’t think most people realize how openly and explicitly pedophilic american culture was until like… maybe 10 years ago

So you mean to tell me that microtransactions - a predatory practice making gaming worse that often targets children - were something the world’s most infamous child predator was a fan of.
And of course Bobby Kotick’s in the files. You can’t make this shit up.

"microtransactions in games started by cabal of pedophile elites for the purpose of indoctrinating kids into an economy"
Ok. Well, we all knew it was evil somehow but I really didn't expect Epstein to be responsible for why video games are bad now. That's just not what I would've thought.

WTF … I often talk about this being a major perk of Kansas City. We get FIFA to come to town and…
Kansas City’s more than 12 million annual bus riders will have to start paying bus fares again, after six years of free rides. Starting in June, riders will have to pay $2 per trip.
Kansas City buses will soon cost you to ride. Here's how much and what to know
The Kansas City Area Transportation Authority will charge for bus rides starting in June. The $2 fare can be paid through an app, credit or debit card, or reloadable fare cards.

I regularly tell prospective law students that they should study something other than law in undergrad. The most boring and often least effective lawyers I've met are those who are just 100% law. They struggle to connect with clients and non-lawyers and seem to just have a bad time.
A lot of tech and finance people interact with are regularly flabbergasted just how unapologetically proud I am of studying theatre and art tbh.
They're so used to humanities majors minimizing their field that when someone doesn't, it throws a lot of em off.

Update: The Trans bathroom bounty hunter bill in Kansas has just passed the Kansas House.
They have rushed it to the Senate for passage.
If it passes, the most extreme anti-trans bill in the nation is about to be sent to the Governor's desk.

If you’re in Kansas and would like somebody to go to the restroom with you, look for me. I’ll be wearing the “Trans Rights or I Bites” shirt with a kitty cat on it. Apparently every time I go to Kansas, I have a designated shirt I must wear.

The majority of Kansans are not interested in this, that's why the Republican legislators resort to tactics like they used there - they gut an existing bill and replace the text wholesale to rush things through without oversight.

1. The most extreme anti-trans bill ever proposed is currently rocketing through the Kansas legislature.
It would empower bounty hunters to search for trans people in bathrooms, even in private businesses, and sue them for large sums of money.
The House is voting on it today.
