The rascist pricks who need their own halftime show are the same rascist prices who needed their own water fountains. TnT
Those who fail to learn history absolutely intend to repeat it.

This right here is the beginnings of the result of what DOGE was really up to. Not *really* slashing stuff, but getting access to as many government citizen databases and joining them to be able to target people quickly and comprehensively across all their exposure to the federal government.
Movie review from Guardian on Melania.
Mr Morgan Freeman, Electric Company (and Rita Moreno)
Done with First Amendment class for the night. Really interesting. So much more to it than I thought. Perhaps that is why it’s a semester-long course in law school. Sure would be easier if it were easier…
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."
ALEX JEFFREY PRETTI. Gone, but never forgotten...

Man holds phone recording ICE before being killed
He was holding a phone not a gun, his crime? Opposing the regime. So they murdered him.
@borkedsys X.com "Adopt a wartime mindset" isn't preparation. It's psychological conditioning. Fear narrows thought, rewards obedience, and makes power expansion feel like safety. This isn't about defence. It's about compliance. 7:28 AM • 12/13/25 • 236 Views

Tweet by @borkedsys "You don't understand capitalism, go live in Cuba." No. I understand it because I'm trapped inside it. I'm a capitalist by force, not consent. When survival requires compliance, the market stops being voluntary and starts looking like economic servitude.
Post from borkedsys reading "Capitalism's ideal citizen is exhausted, isolated, overworked, and convinced it's all their fault. Once the system installs that archetype, no coercion is needed. People enforce their own cage."
just a factual note: menopausal females of most species can definitely go POSTAL on males, regardless of male species after stupid adolescents of said species mouth off in public domain...

![Excerpt from Wikipedia reads: "Fight against merchandising his characters
For years, Watterson battled against pressure from publishers to merchandise his work, something that he felt would cheapen his comic through compromising the act of creation or reading.[21][22]
He refused to merchandise his creations on the grounds that displaying Calvin and Hobbes images on commercially sold mugs, stickers, and T-shirts would devalue the characters and their personalities. Watterson said that Universal kept putting pressure on him and that he had signed his contract without fully perusing it because, as a new artist, he was happy just to find a syndicate willing to give him a chance (two other syndicates had previously turned him down). He added that the contract was so one-sided that, if Universal really wanted to, they could license his characters against his will, and could even fire him and continue Calvin and Hobbes with a new artist. Watterson's position eventually won out, and he was able to renegotiate his contract so that he would receive all rights to his work. Later he said that the licensing fight exhausted him and contributed to the need for a nine-month sabbatical in 1991.[23]"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ks3gpa6ftoyaq7hmf6c4qx4c/bafkreihmgl3sxrmb5t6edpjnixyanj2rvcf43zdv46mbifhl7hdtmz5u6y@jpeg)

Bill Watterson is my favorite cartoonist. I adored the relationship btw Calvin and Hobbes as a child. But as I've gotten older, these strips feel even more tender and insightful. My respect for him grew when I learned of his stance against merchandising. Such principles are almost unheard of today.
I watch the bulk of ashleythebaroness videos, despite rarely sharing them.
But this one hit today.
And she's right! We're not dealing with some foreign ideology. We're dealing with a uniquely American phenomenon.

New: we've obtained material explaining how an ICE surveillance system, called Webloc, works. Draw shape on a map, see all phones available there, follow them home. All without warrant
