Topic: suicide. I understand why you're contemplating it. I'm a survivor of my daughter's 2018 suicide. Your life belongs to you BUT through the fog, dig deep. Your survivors will mourn you forever. Their pain will not go away. You are not replaceable. Whatever emotion that brings you, LIVE IT. LIVE
This exceeds bounty hunting. It is corrupt enrichment of loyal, male party members.
Jessica: The WSJ is reporting that there are incentives for ICE Agents because they need to meet that insane 3,000 people per day quota—they are getting rewarded even if they bring in people who then get released…

At this point, the hopes of the American people appear to rest on another, fatal, stroke. Watch "Dave."
This might be a problem.

When guys like Trump, whose right brains never developed, suffer a stroke on their left side brains, they can no longer be considered as truly functioning human beings.

When one of these guys has his finger on the nuclear trigger, we all need to duck and cover, or fight.

"La Migra" - common slang for ICE

"La Patrulla" - "The Patrol"

"No digas nada" - "Say nothing."

¿Cómo te llamas? - "Whats your name?"

"¿Quién quieres que llame?" - "Who do you want me to call?"

I agree AI is not for undeveloped minds. I dislike applying that standard only to children. Plenty of adults fit into the category. The problem is, a rapid-fire consumer society such as ours has zero incentive to impose limits. The only modern exception of which I can recall is cigarette smoking.
Plese repost & share: "The risks of using generative artificial intelligence to educate children and teens currently overshadow the benefits, according to a new study by the Brookings Institution's Center for Universal Education."

A new report warns that AI poses a serious threat to children's cognitive development and emotional well-being.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.

You could be next.

RE: Clinton's refusal to testify. This is a calculated response to the threat of contempt proceedings. If Bill "Bubba" can be held in contempt, then so can Donald. It's a public rebuke and way to force Republicans to eat their own shit.

WOW. Now that ICE is targeting "liberal-looking" women, I guess it's time for me to start wearing a wig and makeup. I feel so free.🫠

To all my brothers & sisters "of color" in US cities - Always travel with a companion who can livestream.

"jack disease" makes you get old fast and "benjamin button disease" makes you age backwards. i'm proposing an original new movie disease that makes you age completely out of sequence so you wake up at a random age each day allowing for maximum shenanigans and/or pathos as the narrative demands

In California I saw the America that I recognize as a melting pot. I heard as much Spanish as English, with accents coming from multiple Hispanic regions. I saw Americans easily slide from one language to another within the same sentence. This is the America I will die to defend.
This is the America that I love and that I’ll fight for.

The Kansas City connection astounds me, a native of the area. Literally anyone could experience a terrible death at the hands of the Evil Regime. We must resist, or die trying.
