Anyone feel like asking these people why they blocked me? I don't get it. I have pretty middle of the road common sense contributions and reposts.

If laws on the books of No Duty to Retreat ("Stand your ground") are as legal as any other law, if an individual posing as an ICE officer tries to breach your peace without identifying themselves it is legal to murder them where you stand. This will start happening a lot more I think.

They are covering their faces because they are divorced dads and incels. When nobody will touch your dick you inevitably become one. "We saw you wearing those Walmart jeans while you were watching your son through the fence pitching little league yesterday Brian!"

If there are over 11 million willing to walk in protest also willing to each convince just two of their friends they know don't ever vote to finally get to the polls, the USA would never again see fascism launched by less than a third of the country. Let's convert "No Kings" to "No Wasted Votes"

I am starting to think the point of his military parade is not to show leaders of other countries how powerful he is, but rather to stoke fear Americans how he intends to and what he has at his discretion to crush dissent.

Got to meet an amazing author on her reading tour. For years she travelled as an oral story teller but was finally convinced to publish some of her pieces. If you get a chance to go see Naomi Eliana Pommier Steinberg in person... do it!

If Polievre seriously makes someone who won their election step aside so he can take over their 'easy to win' seat he is a twat. It's his fault the conservatives blew a 30 point lead. If Canada wants a US style cult of personality 2 party system, go ahead... But 'leader above country' is kinda...

I have an emotional mule, thankfully that precluded me from visiting the Titanic wreckage because those horrible people at OpenGate are not very open at all! They got what they deserve for not letting me bring Grizzlyore in the submersible.

With 100% on movie tariffs will we finally get to see someone try to fit Ford F-150s into the DC sewer system and Jason Bourne take out criminal inside traders and human trafficking leaders?

There is another huge untold story on US prices changing in stores, the USD has less buying power even before tariffs are added on. With already a 5% drop in 30 days this means retailers are wiring their suppliers bigger sums before the goods show up at US customs & the US gvmt takes its shakedown.

No matter how insane political rhetoric gets, how anxious people butt in front of you, how obnoxious corporations manipulate you... they can't make the sky not blue nor breath, the gravity not hold you to the earth, make snow not white and drinkable once it melts into the rivers.

Why is nobody explaining trade deficits? You wanna know who I have a trade deficit with?
My grocery vendor.
My gasoline vendor.
My music vendor.
My patio furniture vendor.

Anything to break the political doom scroll usually gets a heart from me. Even if I still comment once in a while on those things too.
