Don't tell me what to skeet.
Don't tell me what not to skeet.
Read my skeets before replying to them.
Reply to the skeet as written, not to the imaginary other person who wrote some other skeet in your mind that made you mad at someone who is not me.

The massive expansion of immigration enforcement — with tens of billions of new funding, tens of thousands of newly recruited agents, and unrealistic arrest targets — has led to systemic violations of U.S. citizens’ Constitutional rights. #AbuseofPowerWatch
How federal agents are terrorizing American citizens
Last week, hundreds of heavily armed federal agents descended on an apartment complex in Chicago, arriving in Black Hawk helicopters and moving trucks.

Goes without saying that whenever Noem and her crew eat at a fast food joint in Portland, their bellies wind up with more different kinds of DNA in them than an FBI crime lab

Apropos of nothing, Sec. Kristi Noem is currently praying over Burgerville with Portland ICE officials.

I see that most of the "OMG Javier Milei has performed an economic miracle in Argentina OMG I Heart Maggie" crowd - predictably, since it did the same with Lis Truss - has switched to "tEh PrObLeM iS MiLEi wOz NoT fRee mArKet eNouGh".

How many times must these utter fools fail before they get it?

That person is either intentionally doing some kind of psyop or is deluded enough to be doing malign actors' work for them.

If you think about nothing but the current crisis, your brain will turn into mush. Sustained effort requires balance.

Just saw someone slamming people for posting about sports during a moment of national democratic collapse, so I wandered over to see what they've been posting about, and it turns out that it's a lot of open advocacy for the commission of federal felonies.

Yeah, posting about sports is preferable.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

On October 7, 2001, the US started bombing Afghanistan and firming up its security state, leading to the creation of DHS in 2002 and ICE in 2003, and also an invasion of Iraq.

So, twenty-five years later, how's that all going?

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross. And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.
