So he was just hanging out on a hotel loading dock when he tried to commandeer a grease truck and got knifed by a truck driver who collects Social Security. That happens to all of us at some point in the day, right?

Is it possible for the airport to function with an unmanned tower? Yes. But did they build that tower there for a reason? Also yes. This is fuckery.

If any Senate Democrat is still trusting Susan Collins then he or she doesn’t belong in the U.S. Senate. Not after this. ↘️

I am guilty of being bigoted toward AI. And they should hear the shit I say to my lawnmower when it won’t start. Majorly bigoted.

ICE is too dangerous to be left unaccountable.
Violence & abuse against Americans is wrong.

If you see an incident occurring, get out your cellphone. Document it. Send it to your Congressperson and the press. Do it anonymously if you need to. #BeTheChange

If nothing else, why not do something like this when they come to your town?

Phang: So, as we can see you have a DHS official—you clearly hear him say on that body cam footage, “I am arresting the mayor. Even though he stepped out, I’m going to put him in cuffs.”

Who told him to do it? He says: the Deputy Attorney General… And who’s that? Todd Blanche.

👀 Just Now -- President Trump in the Oval Office said a government shutdown gives his administration the power to cut benefit programs, which include Social Security and Medicare.
