I guess local militarized police vs federal secret police is the new two party system.

WATCH: Trump’s lawless Ice goons shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper ball. Completely out of control.

if only we had a media to ask the media why it was so complicit

i’ll never get over how some people pointed out trump was going to do project 2025 and then eventually the media asked trump if he was going to do project 2025 and he said “never heard of it” and the media decided he surely couldn’t be lying about that one

Sounds like a hostage situation. Don't they usually call in snipers during hostage situations?

Johnson: "It's true that in previous shutdowns, many or most furloughed employees have been paid for the time they were furloughed, but there is new legal analysis - I don't know the details, I just saw a headline - but there are some legal analysts saying that might not be appropriate or necessary"

"The marijuana legalization laws in Virginia in 2021 destroyed the long-running local illicit farming economy. Attempts to mitigate these losses through methamphetamine trade have had limited success due to efforts of law enforcement."

yes, I did not want to explain to bluesky that "it's way more famous for drugs than the waltons locally"

I live in an old company house from that quarry. behind my house is abandoned shit... it's like living in a Miyazaki movie tbh. I love it. I will die here tbh (but not for a while, inshallah)

dirtgod raven mack @dirtgod.bsky.social · 4d

lolol the wikipedia page is great... nothing but tragedy & The Waltons.

Wikipedia screenshot which says: In the late 19th and early 20th centuries the community became a small industrial center with the establishment of a stone cutting plant for the area quarries of the Alberene Stone Company, which took the native and acid-resistant soapstone and cut, then milled the rock into flat slab table tops for medical labs, hospitals and high school science classrooms. The economic hardships of the Great Depression of the 1930s essentially destroyed this industry and the area never fully recovered.

Wikipedia screenshot which says: The region suffered greatly from the remnants of Hurricane Camille, which dumped 2 feet (61 cm) to 3 feet (91 cm) of rain, flooding the upper mountain creeks and streams, devastating the area in August 1969.

Fun set DJing tonight. I really enjoy that shit so much, & wish there were more opportunities locally. But I also don't feel like fighting ppl for spots. It's supposed to be fun.

I love when a quote post answer to one of these is so good I'm like, "no need to bother, it's already been finalized"
