ICE racially profiles an elderly man and takes him into custody. They realize their mistake and release him. They also intimidate witnesses. This incident occurred in Long Beach, California.

Been too long since I featured a #dailyTextie but here’s an evocative picture with alt text that gives an impression of a seasonal image.

A gold trophy shaped like a picture frame (representing pictures) floating over little gold chamfered pill-shaped objects (representing the alt text) The picture inside the gold frame is the green covered hills at San Francisco’s Lands End with cypress trees and a sunset in pink, blue, purple.

The background of the award is a deep blue and the award floats in volumetric beams of light with tiny flecks and motes shining.

Header and captions read:

I get lower back pain when I cook too long from having to bend over the stove.
On my already high island, I have a thick cutting board to make it even higher so I don't hurt my back when I'm cutting things.

First off, this isn’t even close to being true.

This is another way to convince people there is SO much fraud that they can’t help but cut benefits. It’s a trick. It’s a scam. It’s a way for the VA to cut benefits and sleep at night. Shame.

This is wrong on every level. It’s a rigorous process that can take years. Just because a small number of rotten people faked being blind or paralyzed doesn’t mean the system should be gutted or over 9 million veterans getting benefits smeared. This is so dam irresponsible of WaPo.

You know what fascism looks like? Attorney General Letitia James getting criminally indicted on literal trumped-up charges by the criminal who she fought to hold accountable for the actual crimes he committed and is now using the full power of the US govt to seek vengeance.

It is depressing. But that is what they are banking on. For you to walk away, not involved, not engaged. Don't be complacent.

A healthy rest is one thing.

But as a standard, it's a cop-out. And they probably don't vote as a result. And if they do, it's without adequate information. It's important that people demand better and stay informed. We're all in this together. Even those who don't know it.

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

And instead of sending in troops to deal with domestic terror, they send in troops to CREATE domestic terror and then use that to justify sending in more troops.

That's the problem with how nearly everyone in this administration thinks: everything is backwards. They start at what they seek to prove, rather than studying data to discern what the data reveals.

This is what used to be called ‘testing into compliance’ and it would get your company fined, shut down, and in court when the FDA was run by competent people.

You do studies to test if your theory is wrong.
If, after lots of studies , you can't prove it wrong it is provisionally reliable.
