Check out the DeFlock website that shows the location of Flock cameras on a national map. Now zoom into your area and specifically look at Home Depot locations. I’m in a smallish city up against farmland, we have a thriving Hispanic community. Look at our two Home Depot parking lots.
This is exactly the kind of shit that loses party members and elections. WTF is focpac doing? It can’t be legit. Their website is horrible. Literally could not block them fast enough. DO BETTER DEMOCRATS!! @thedemcoalition.bsky.social @housedemocrats.bsky.social
The United States is a third world country, and the GOP has somehow convinced millions of voters that this is “normal” and Medicare for all proponents are somehow leftist commie Antifa (doesn’t actually exist) operatives instead of what they really are: normal people of developed nations. 🙄😡
Sigh. The reach of these behemoths is so extreme that there is literally no way to boycott them all in our daily lives. wtf have we become?
This is why you don’t really hear the rest of the world talking about data centers yet. And it’s why the topic is a five alarm fire here. As it should be.
Whelp, here it is. The Trump regime on the global stage. Great work, Marco Rubio. And why do we care? Reliability = Investment = Jobs.
This is my Chandler, bread in a huge puppy mill in Oklahoma and sold to a federal research lab as a baby, after having his vocal cords cut and the inside of his ear tattooed with his government ID no. He got out at just over a year old thanks to people like this. He is 13. ❤️
Thanks a lot Mark Zuckerberg, which is where this all began. Fuck you and your stupid, tone deaf Kylie Meta glasses. You were never a cool kid, you are not one now, and you never will be, no matter how many Kardashians you buy.
These are not “content creators”, they are independent studios.
This is some bad shit, people. I mean, at best it is an industry crying out for regulation. At worst it’s just straight up fraud and corruption, and the lobbyists want their piece.
I realize it’s #Caturday, and here’s Suzy enjoying her new cat tree, but this is how I found Chandler the beagle this morning. 🤣🤣🤣 He kills me. We just moved and are still surrounded by boxes and blankets!
It’s crazy that this is so normalized now. Should not be possible in a healthy society. It screams exploitation and nobody bats an eye. Thanks, Jack Welch.
And idiots like Hassett are gleeful over credit card debt. Unreal. We are in a spiraling nightmare of incompetence and cruelty.
Whelp, in less than two weeks this 5th-gen Californian will be an Oregonian. That’s at least a 31-cent drop.
Also… welcome to the “noticeable problems” category, America. Bari Weiss = noticeable problems!
4-20-99 27 years ago today, two mentally disturbed teenagers carried out a carefully planned massacre at Columbine High School, destroying lives and traumatizing a community. Anyone still voting against the ban of assault weapons is complicit. We remember. 🧡
This is my boy Chandler. He is 13 now. He joined our family when he was just over a year old, rescued from a federal research facility where he was scheduled for destruction. He was born and bred in captivity in a place just like this. He still has his number tattooed in his ear. ♥️🐾
Yup. But also, when you look closely at this chart, you can see where their desperation is coming from…there’s fewer Republicans now. From the aids scaremongering of the 80s to the trans scaremongering of today, they are losing. As long as we vote, and actually change laws.
Screw him. After years of bullying them he finally needs them and they are giving a big middle finger. Bravo. 👏 👏👏 From yesterday’s EU Observer morning newsletter:
The list is out. https://www.forbes.com/billionaires/
Do you think that @jordanwood.bsky.social, whom I like by the way, is aware that his team is sending out crap like this? Come on people, do better. This is how we lose elections.
This is real. This is who we are under Republican rule.
