Fucking spare me. None of us, even the people that fucking voted for the creep, deserved this. This shit fucking blows and we should be pissed off about it, none of this "well America had it coming you know" nonsense. Fuck that noise.
I am so fucking over this "well we had it coming because of weakness or whatever" navel-gazing pity party bullshit. Not even the people that voted for the fucker deserve what's happening because we all - ALL OF US - deserve better than what the fuck is going on. I'm here to work to save ALL of us.
Means those contracts have a hard expiration date of any incoming Dem administration which I'm sure is what oil companies love to hear on construction projects with a horizon longer than that
This is the opposite of what companies that actually have a legal department want to hear, because it means contracts can (and likely WILL) be voided in because they weren't authorized by the government of the country in question

I'm surprised we haven't seen ICE agents with GoPros mounted on their stupid helmets uploading shit

And Renee Good’s last words appear to be “We’re not mad at you.”
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

How every servicemember that hit the disability percent for full VA healthcare isn't an ardent defender of at least single payer is beyond me. I am already living the socialized medicine dream and it fucking rules - most of what I need is just walk-in and a lot of it is covered even at local clinics
it is nice to be able to walk into a downtown lab and be able to get it done for free in like 10-15 minutes

What do you mean the Giants ran their whole org that way for a few years and look how they're doing now
I know this is *my* screaming into the void uselessly, but "players having their best season last year is their baseline expectation" is a pretty idiotic projection routine which does not work.

You mean the team with an owner so intrusive he forced through a contract with a pitcher *he* wanted (that then immediately blew up in their face and he whined about how bad that pitcher was in the press) is dysfunctional?
No wonder the Dbacks can't get out of their own way

they were so mad about him leaving the club for a few days after his house got robbed that they spent months trying to trade him, and now they wanna be all “jk lol” bc the offers weren’t what they wanted? ((dys*func*tion))
The Diamondbacks are pulling superstar 2B Ketel Marte off the trade block. He’s staying in Arizona.

If you're a Trumpist Christian nationalist brown shirt, you can probably watch the Iran protests and just spike your shit and go home, because whatever Trump and those assholes are going to put into their authoritarian vision, it's way less than the Iranian government, which is going up in smoke.

NY Post has reached the Bargaining stage of off-season grief
nypost.com/2026/01/07/s... Maybe the Yankees and Mets are in the midst off a bad offseason but can we wait until we see it all before screaming judgments.
The real Mets and Yankees offseasons have yet to reveal themselves
I am not here to defend the offseason to date of Brian Cashman and David Stearns. Mainly because we don’t know what their offseasons fully are.

One of the few things about Huntington Beach that I will unreservedly defend is the amazing public library the city has (recently defended on the ballot from bigots). A lot of who I am came from unrestricted access to a big library. I didn't need to get a physical card, but I wanted one.

Gotta be able to walk and chew gum with your messaging. Not doing that ends up with you chewing on your own feet.
“There are anonymous federal agents in the streets committing acts of wanton violence” is itself probably a very prescient kitchen-table issue.
It’s just a different sort of one.

Using imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.

There is no quantum of cruelty and violence that is safe to consume. There is no minimum safe dose of atrocities observed. There is no point where a video depicting the violent end of a human life becomes harmless. This isn't to condemn you if you decide to watch anyway, but do not delude yourself.
With respect, this is not generally how it works. Most people can't handle it. Those that can are generally broken or breaking in some way. Moreover, people don't realizing that it's breaking them. At best it gives you waking nightmares and at worst it hollows you out, numbs you, and makes you cruel
Then you aren’t someone I was talking to with my statement. Some people can handle it. Some people can’t. Neither is better than the other. It is up to each person to recognize their own limits. I choose to bear witness, I refuse to become numb to this stuff, I am taking action, & that is my choice.

No, don't do it. I did it and it has seriously fucked me up. The important part is that it exists, not that you've personally witnessed it. A digital hairshirt does nothing but hurt you.
