Holy shit! That's a judge presuming that normal people would expect the federal government to act illegally. True but amazing that a judge said it.

Gavin Newsom is a vile and utterly evil man. He has built his whole career on persecuting homeless people. He is owned by PGE. Anything he does that looks good, like his trolling of Trump, is entirely performative and always lacks substance.

If that is true then it was murder regardless of whether the shooter was legally defending himself or not, because the thing that killed her was their refusal to allow medical treatment and she was no threat after they shot her.

White folks ARE doing this. But if you think white folks are going to fix it you're wrong. Many of them support this, many more are only uncomfortable with it, and the rest, me included, are scared shitless. Ain't no white knight gonna fix this.

Superhero comics in general are reactionary and many of them are pretty dang fascist. The central idea is that an cadre of ubermensch should unilaterally enforce their idea of justice.
Michael Chabon's _The Adventures of Cavalier and Clay_ explores this idea and is also damned entertaining.

All those times Trump talked with Putin on the phone, ostensibly about peace in Ukraine... the real conversation was probably Putin egging Trump on about Greenland. "Don't be little wimp boy, you want Greenland? go get it, be big and tough like me."

They are functionally the same. Everyone that espouses America First means America Only. And they mean White Christian Conservative America Only.
America First only makes sense to uneducated, hateful, morons.

Canada's natural defenses against invations might even be better than ours. There is no scenario in which the US could successfully invade more than a few score miles into Canada.

This has nothing to do with making home ownership easier. It is a tax break for people wealthy enough to own a vacation home. The fact that you frame it the way you did makes you complicit in the lie. Fuck you.

This is rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic, but even if the goal were to make ICE agents identifiable, WTF would a QR code be good for? Make them wear in big letters "ICE" on their backs, and their names on the front, just like every other law enforcement agent in the US has always done. Duh.

Not very big. Where would the material for a ringworld come from? There simply is not enough matter in a solar system to construct such a thing.

I have since learned that Russian oil has been "laundered" by mixing it with Venezuelan oil for some time now. I wish we'd been seizing Russian tankers all along instead of just starting now because Trump hates Maduro.

Meshtastic is a mesh based communications protocol that's gotten popular in the US south east after flooding last year knocked out cell service. It is distributed and the hardware is cheap, but still requires tech skills.
