Don't you mess with my Williams squad. They got enough going on right now.

If you're like me, it's a great opportunity to ruin the family picnic with politics and pressuring maga relatives. Likely won't change any minds, but maybe I'll luck out and not get invited next year.

Eh, Auschwitz took nearly two years to convert from camp to gas chambers, and sounds better paired with alligator. Potato, potato from my perspective.

Can you elaborate on the distinction you're making?

Minor correction - the bill passed today increases it's overall operating budget by $175B to over $200B total. ICE will become the third most funded armed forces in the world just behind China. $45B is earmarked for camps.

The house can stop it, but that seems unlikely. It had a better chance of block in Senate.

 

The package now goes back to the House, where Speaker Mike Johnson had warned senators not to deviate too far from what his chamber had already approved. But the Senate did make changes, particularly to Medicaid, risking more problems as they race to finish by Trump’s Fourth of July deadline.

Great description

 
 

The "Ohio Prenatal Equal Protection Act" would overturn the amendment to the Ohio constitution, voted on in 2023, that establishes "an individual right to one's own reproductive medical treatment, including but not limited to abortion" before viability.

We had a situation evolve at my small local no kings. After an hour chilling, a trump supporter pulled up in a truck, unloaded a giant MAGA flag and planted himself right in the middle of the group. He was non violent, said very little, and mostly just stood there.

The supervising police would not remove him, and told us he had "the same right to be there that we have".

Obviously we were all quite uncomfortable having this shit flag overshadowing us, but no one was sure what could be done about it, so we sucked it up and continued on as if he wasn't there.

How would you have handled this situation? Is there anytime that can be done in the future to prevent this?

Ps Fuck trump and his cult.
