just gonna throw out a quick reminder that in America police kill a yearly average of 3 civilians per day, routinely in situations very similar to these ICE killings, and decades of explicit support for police impunity by US politicians is why ICE feels theyre able to get away with this right now

Let's start by abolishing the 1952 immigration and nationality act that established the 100 mile constitution free zone (and all previous ones with their bullshit racist / protectionist immigrant quotas), then remove the Patriot Act and abolish DHS.

And that's not even scratching the surface.

Yeah it's awful, there are a lot of things we Americans have allowed our government to do over the last 25 years to get to this point where we have armed thugs terrorizing citizens with impunity.

We forfeited our freedoms for the illusion of security.

In the US customs and border patrol has a lot of power within 100 miles / 162 km of any land/coastal border or international airport. They can conduct immigration checks, warrantless searches of vehicles and question people about citizenship status.

I miss the days of just being able to make some waffles for breakfast instead of worrying that I'm not doing enough to fight the spread of fascism while also making waffles.

Are you fucking serious?

A "full investigation?"

We all saw it happen, "Mark." Stand up for Americans or resign. Enough of this waffling doublespeak bullshit.

As always, be careful what you say on the internet. We don’t need to go to the gulag today

He's also thankfully doing better, saw the vet earlier in the week and he apparently needed his anal glands expressed. Back to normal since then. Follow up in a few weeks.

Yeah he's been basically with me the whole time, very insistent on snuggles. He's eaten small amounts three times so far. So I'm hopeful it's nothing serious.

The good news is he literally just popped up about 15 minutes ago and went searching for food. He ate a half can of wet food, half a churu and drank a bunch of water.

Now we wait for the poopening.

We didn't see anything obvious in the house and I don't keep any toxic plants.

The vet said that it could be an obstruction, her other concern was his GGT was at the high end of normal which could indicate a gallbladder issue.

If he doesn't eat and poop by tomorrow morning he needs an ultrasound.

Fluffy orange cat rolled onto his back, legs in the air a keyboard is positioned to his right where his hind legs are. He has a gray soft cone around his head but is still looking directly at the camera with defiance as he tea bags the keyboard esc key.

And for some lighter fare I give you Solo, on my desk defiling my keyboard a few weeks ago.

He just went from laying like a normal cat to suddenly rolling over and tea bagging my esc key.

I just needed to externalize, positive vibes for Solo are appreciated.

Insane emotional whiplash.

I just need Solo to be okay. He's currently curled up with me.

Blood work was all fine and he is still disinterested in food though he tried some churu and liquid from canned food. He is at least drinking water and using the litter box.

Got to see Bloodywood last night, they opened for baby metal. Amazing show, great energy, wished they had a longer set.

Glanced at my phone between bands and saw we bombed Iran. πŸ’€

I got home to Solo lethargic, he vomited a bunch and wouldn't eat. Immediately went to the emergency vet.
