We’d like to see their faces too.
Otherwise how we supposed to know they’re not reich-wing political assassins or cartel gang members in disguise? They could fake their ID and warrants as well, better just capture them and work it all out in court, in front of a judge. Which is better than they’re offering, or deserve
Burnt to a crisp, and spicy
As an old woman myself, I’m sorry to you and your little cat too. Sounds like you got stuck with crappy old losers. I hope you meet other old people who treat you nicer.
I am angry a lot, but it’s because as a kid I thought the world was getting better, more tolerant and caring etc. and instead it keeps getting worse, more fascistic and hateful and filthy and destroyed. Every time we take a step forward we get smacked down backwards about six. It’s exhausting. But we do still have to keep trying to take those positive steps every day.
It’s a Dad Pop! Hold that sucker by the bone and gnaw.
The only legit reason to wear black would be to mark the higher proportion of black VICTIMS of violence. Including victims of police violence, btw. Among white victims of violence the perpetrator is most likely white as well, by far.
When you’re starting with Tilda Swinton, why bother painting/powdering her face? How do you even find paint that’s whiter?
Oh, or maybe her skin made the painted hair look not-white-enough, and the paint is to tone it down.
I misread it as “the A is on Captain America’s ass.” Makes sense, it is America’s ass after all. Be fun to watch it stretch and flex, too.
Oh, I’m well aware (from listening to KCRW) it’s only about 1.2 billion. A few wealthy individuals could make that up without a sweat, except they’re mostly Wrong Wing and selfish af. I’ve already doubled my monthly donation, and many would, but will it be enough?
I meant they’d be a bit more free of political pressure if they weren’t reliant on money from whoever’s in power. Steve Inskeep was the first reporter I heard finally use the word “lie” to refer to something Trump said, but I’d like to widen the tightrope they walk. It would be even better if their funding was enshrined and guaranteed somehow, but I think we know that’s impossible.
Yeah, most of my comments have asterisks because I see the typos and autoincorrects only after hitting save
Obviously I hope PBS and NPR get all the funding they need, but maybe it would be better if it all came from listeners.
Edit: to free them from being a political pawn. Not disputing the fact they’re an essential service.
It’s paused on appeal now, but there was never going to be a consequence for Trump personally because he’d argue “official act.” There’d only be the return of control of the CA National Guard troops to Governor Newsom So they could be sent to help with wildfire situations, for instance. Then again, will people even trust them to help with an evacuation anymore?
It’s been paused on appeal…
I got a couple of random calls on our landline last week claiming to be from “a national polling company” and starting with a question about my age demographic instead of answering my question “which company?” I may be a boomer but I know better than to tell anything to a machine over the phone, so I hung up. I’d love to give the real pollsters a piece of my mind about the rise of fascism in this country but only the phishers want to hear from me.
In California we’re all mailed paper ballots, which we can return by mail (no stamp needed) or designated ballot box, or in person at a polling place up to closing time on Voting Day. My ballot (in a westside Los Angeles district) had 37 items, (on about 7 pages iirc) some of which were yes/no on propositions, others of which had a choice between 2 to 15 candidates for various offices. From school board to US President. It was very clear, just needed a black pen to fill the circles, and I could have gotten it in a dozen different languages. It’s also accessible for my quadriplegic husband, who can’t get to a polling place. But it took time and thought. It wasn’t like the pictures I’ve seen of French ballots which were just a single name on a sheet of paper, take the one from the stack of your choice, I guess? So counting them takes more time. Plus counting ballots that were mailed and postmarked by the deadline, those are allowed 2 weeks to arrive.

…trying to say Fox is manipulating the quotes to falsify facts…
I’m pretty sure this is what you meant to type because it’s completely on-brand for Fox News
“Newsom” and also “sue”
Newsom. Newsom. Nope, not even a suggestion of the one with the e.
Mostly the CHP has been trying to keep the protestors off the freeways, which is kinda their job. It’s unsafe for everyone, having pedestrians on the freeway. And it doesn’t allow people who think “this is getting out of hand, I was here for a protest not a riot, I’m going to get out of here” to do so. Much less “I picked the wrong day to shop for bargains in the Garment District.”
And her dog!
