Every person who testified at a recent public hearing on the Brookfield Compressor Station opposed the expansion. Governor Lamont must deny the permit and prioritize the health of our communities. More info: connecticut.sierraclub.org/end-fossil-fuel-expansion

Just finished doing car stuff at the Chevrolet service center. $200 for just diagnostics. They want $700 for new brakes which I don’t have. I got more air in my tires for free though at Valvoline. They always have my back.

Attention to my folks from Western & Central Mass / Connecticut:

Big Y Licks ICE Boots

Since this is a -voluntary- program, it means Big Y leadership actively sought the cooperation of ICE.

ICE agent: “it wasn’t kidnapping. We just pulled up in a white van and asked your kid if he wanted some candy.“
Lyons says ICE agents actually "took care" of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos when they detained him, before shipping him off to a horrific Texas ICE facility.

He says ICE officers "comforted him" as they chased his dad, put him in their car to play "his favorite music, then took him to McDonalds."

Pedophiles do things like buy McDonalds for their victims, because they are trying to stop the kid freaking out, not because they are nice people.
