:pete: 20% is a goddamn shame. all my spreadsheets indicate we could get that price up at least 24%
"proud boys" and "patriot front" regularly drove into [my city] to pick fights with anyone they thought looked weak and lefty, especially trans folk. they did "trump cruise" truck parades and shot paintballs from their windows at passers by. the fash get extremely emboldened when their guy is in office. he is a danger and his status as president gives these groups the "permission" they need to continue their violence. it is real.
the green scare and WTO protests of the 90s definitely targeted anarchists. the ALF and ELF were the FBI's major concerns of domestic insurrection even while mcveigh and other nazis were bombing federal buildings.
this week's group chat:
i was surprised at how close MN was. hasn't it been a blue stronghold for....ever?
i went to hearst castle this summer. it's pretty whatever, tbh. the bus ride up the mountain is pretty crazy. then at the top, one of the employees had their miata parked in the lot, and I was instantly envious of whoever they are, because they have the best commute in the world
ehhh, not really, unfort.
you should be treating that shit like a job
show up hungover, late, and put in minimal effort?
i guess xenophobia could be more accurately put as "anti-immigration rhetoric". they don't directly vilify immigrants the way republicans do, but they also do nothing meaningful to counter act it. You've got 
and "biden" border bill. 8-10 years ago, when democrats talked about immigrants, it was all DACA and Dream Act. now it's "cinch down the border" and "maybe they are eating the dogs and eating the cats".
thinking of that chart posted here at the very beginning of hurricane season that was explaining how storms get bigger and badder as the season progresses, but even at the very beginning (in July?), we were already at "worst storm of the year" strength, compared to previous years.
lots of good answers, but nobody has really touched on why the 
party is doubling and tripling down on xenophobia. and i, for one, don't have a good answer as to why the "rank and file" of the party would back these ideas. I get that the decision makers at the top are answering to capital, and i think the climate change refugee crisis is certainly a major reason, but why are all the good in-this-house-we-believe libs following suit?
This month, U.S. security agencies released an unusual statement saying Iranians sent material stolen from the former president’s campaign to people linked to Biden’s reelection team (which later morphed into Harris’ campaign). The statement said there is no sign the recipients responded.
lmao 
hamas enacts another Al Aqsa flood
the zionist entity war crimes so blatantly hard that the 
covers for it in a way that enrages its citizens and we see widespread unrest
JD Vance says something terrible
Joe Biden dies
i like bjj cuz it taught me ways to pain-immobilize someone without doing lasting damage (armbar, rear-naked choke), which has come in handy with drunk friends and such.
when you're in trouble, give 'em urine trouble
maybe they're not mastectomy scars, maybe they're where the character's breasts were bitten off by a dragon
bunch of monkeys dead from exposure in about a month's time is my guess
