This is not about immigration law or law enforcement.

This is the power fantasies of every fucking CHUD too shitty to get a job as a mall cop.

Kansas is a largely rural prairie state. Its nearly impossible to live in much of the state without driving. Taking away people's ability to drive on short notice without any individual wrongdoing is malicious, and it will cause further criminalization of people who can't respond fast enough.

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school.

They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

Enough of this bullshit. Go to iceout.org and see: THEY ARE NOT GONE. THEY ARE STILL HERE.

They changed tactics, but they are still here.

They are moving to deport Liam.

They are stepping up retribution against observers.

They are not stopping, there is no draw down.

I help run a small all volunteer summer camp and I would very much love to learn more about the family experience signing up for camps, in general. We've recently moved our registration opening earlier so families can plan ahead more and I'm wondering what else we can do to make it easier.

Two trees in bright fall foliage: a deep maroon Japanese Maple, and behind it, a shockingly bright yellow ginko. The yellow color is so warm, it's almost an orange.

There are so many hyperlocal AI slop journalism sites popping up in news deserts and there are few, if any, local media reporters helping people make sense of them.

The colors over overall very yellow, yellow-green, a bit of a bit reddish orange. The sky is overcast, and the asphalt is wet indicating recent rain.
