GenXer studying American and transnational history with a focus on de jure racism in housing and policing through the lens of illiberalism. It's not a cult, it's fascism.

I'm so fucking mad about the settlement.

It's not that the number is low --what number would be high enough?

It's that it's insulting.

And the 400 cowards with their guns let those children and parents be terrorized.

Things people say when they don't understand what fascism is. And this one I believe is actually honestly against fascism. They just don't know anything they didn't "learn" on social media or YouTube.

These people are the same ones that allowed the Brown Shirts and the Nazis to win in 1922 and 1932.

I cannot emphasize this enough.

As we're probably making final decisions for my dad very soon i have to admit, I'm not crazy about having to navigate all my parents' Trumper friends and family. I'm not going to say anything to anyone here because this is about helping my parents and I'm grateful for all the help we can get.

But it makes me sick knowing a few of these people would spit on my non binary child's hospital bed before they'd offer the child the support they're offering my mom and dad.

I'm pretty sure a disinformation troll accused me of being disinformation troll.

I can and am wrong about things though I try hard to be clear when I'm speculating.

I can be and sometimes am a troll though I'm not proud of this.

But it's interesting that this apparently fake account targeted me for saying the is accusing me of "all the hallmarks of a disinformation troll."

Maybe they made an honest mistake.

Or maybe they're defending the GOP.

I knew my hometown, a fairly liberal place in a relatively liberal state of California and the state capital, had a sharing out-of-state license plate data.

It's almost impossible to control sheriffs in most states because they are elected and answer to no one.

I missed that the department, which answers to the mayor, was doing this, too.

Lol.

Apparently, Biden is bad because he let Roe fall.

Yes, engaged Americans think that.

Of course they don't. I can't imagine anyone thinking that argument works who isn't a Russian paid troll.

"As we have seen very clearly, there is a stark difference between Florida and many other states in this nation,” Kerner said. “This is very intentional. Our governor will not bend to the shrill and illogical will of an entitled and reckless super-minority. He will not tolerate for a moment our campuses degenerating into collectives of violence and anti-American and antisemitic dogma, and neither will the Florida Highway Patrol.”

One of the worst things about having someone you care about who isn't doing well is the random people you bump into who greet you with "how are you today?"

I hate insincerity in myself and lying even more.

So, I want to say, "pretty fucking awful and you?"

I don't. But honestly, it'd be better than the real truth "My Dad is on life support and my best friend just found out his eight year old has stage 4 cancer. You?"

My dad, who has been in the hospital or rehab since April 5, was sent to the ER from rehab for shortness of breath.

My mom wasn't told for three hours.

Once at the ER for shortness of breath the hospital took a picture of his groin area because it was so inflamed and swollen from the rehab center letting him sit in his own waste so much.

My mom has demanded the rehab center address this but everyone there says "it's not my job."

They're trying to decide if my dad needs the ICU.

Hot take on

What she did to the dog is awful and I hope she's prosecuted, assuming she didn't just make the story up.

Because of this story more people know her name than ever before. This was her intention.

I think we should ignore her until Trump picks her to be his vp.

Assuming he's the nominee, which I still honestly doubt.

Everybody thinks Watergate happened overnight.

It took years of the public not caring then the bottom fell out on Nixon all at once.

Kinda amazing college students are protesting war the same they always have and the schools are quashing the students' rights to do so as they always do and the media is acting like this is some sort of a surprise.

Apparently there's a poll showing "most Americans don't think acted illegally in his hush money case " and the Associated is running the story as if it told us something about Americans other than that the news media is terrible at it's job.

For instance, it's an election interference trial, not a hush money trial.

But election interference doesn't slap the way hush money to PORN STAR does so the media gleefully pushes a deception.

I wish people would understand that Mike Johnson doesn't just take money from Putin, he WANTS to win because he believes what Putin is doing is the work of his white supremacist God.

This is in fact my opinion, but it's a hill I'm willing to die screaming from. Mike Johnson has moved past loving America. He loves white Christian European descended domination. If it were between Putin and Trump for President I honestly believe he'd vote for Putin.

So while leaving a major medical center's podiatry department my Dad tripped, fell, busted his head so bad he's presently in a CT machine and he thinks he broke a leg.

FML. Happy thoughts, petitions to preferred deities welcome. He's 3,000 miles from me. So that's cool.
