I want to be clear about something: I'm an expert in like two things. Hating mayo and climate change.

Everything else I skeet is just bitches be saying shit on the internet.
As a casual El-Sayed obeserver I had to text a friend today to ask what his ethnic identity was.

It's interesting how being Muslim in this country subsumes everything else.

I don't think people understand single person cults enough and also why the US fucking loves a cult.
I kinda think that at some point we need to take seriously the idea that society as it is constituted now is driving a lot of people completely mad

A pocket full of pills

To get her prescription filled!
I have received the worst news of my life, which is that Baz Luhrman’s Romeo + Juliet came out

Brace yourselves

ICE targeted a trans woman in Rochester, NY, tackled her and broke her foot, put her in isolation in a men's camp in Batavia & released her with an ankle monitor only after forcing her to reveal she'd had SRS. (Batavia is currently building a tent camp for women.)

It’s all so fucked up and recent. I was born in the late 70s. About a decade before I was born was the Loving v Virginia ruling.

And I can go on YouTube and listen to interviews from 30 years before I was born where actual ex-slaves talked about what it was like.

None of it was long ago.

Southwest Colorado, Northwest New Mexico, the Diné/Navajo Nation, and Northeast Arizona, and anyone traveling through that region in the next 72 hours - heads up. Flooding continues.

‘Historic’ flooding forecast for southwest Colorado; ‘extensive damage’ expected
The San Juan River in Pagosa Springs is on track to crest at a record-breaking 21.87 feet, more than 4 feet higher than an October 1911 that “wiped out” most of Pagosa Springs, county officials said.

the actual literal legal entity known as the Michigan Democratic Party excommunicated Haley Stevens within hours of her endorsing Rogers

where is this Establishment Democrat Elite you speak of?
NYT spends final week of the campaign on bad-faith attacks against Democrats

Establishment Democrat Elite fail to support center-left Democrats who are Muslim, some embrace MAGA far-right-extremist Republicans to block Muslim Democrats

*If Democrats win big, it is despite Media & Political Elite*

As I report here ...
- Stevens told numerous high profile Dems last night she was voting for AES
- staff was literally waiting at the unity rally thinking she was about to arrive
- even key Dems who are similarly skeptical of AES are baffled and aghast

A dentist from Ontario married a U.S. citizen, performed dentistry in "shortage areas" and was pursuing lawful status when ICE arrested him based on erroneous paperwork.

Judge Mike Davis said the "hubris" and "appalling" facts justify immediate release.

I first saw this on tiktok and I can't stop wondering if Luigi Mangione knows he's made it into a French techno song about tyrranical rule by rich people
Doesn't matter if we're in France, Italy, Spain, the UK, the U.S., the story is the same everywhere:

Power and wealth gives itself a second set of rules. They lie more, cheat more, steal more, and rarely see a prison sentence.

Tech Fascists, technocrats, & corporate criminals destroy everything.

We've been at the zoo so maybe this is written and I haven't seen it, but whew it is LAYERED that they brought out *Clyburn* to do a *Black church* Dem unity rally and Stevens not only snubbed him but snubbed him to go to ANOTHER Black church to endorse a white MAGA Republican.

Part of the problem FYI is the guidance in most of these countries is three days which is ALREADY the FEMA guidance in the US and for much of the Carribean. They're bracing themselves for instabilities we're already used to.
It is WILD to see the fact 33 countries have issued “stockpile food and water” warnings not trending or getting wall to wall coverage in U.S. mainstream news.

They’re clearly trying to figure out how to tell the story without mentioning climate.

I'm agnostic on shoe string fries, but no please no more crinkle cut fries. Crinkle cut fries and ridge potato chips taste bitter.

I don't make the rules.
We need more steak fries and more crinkle cut fries but more importantly shoestring fries can go straight to hell
