The protester was among tens of thousands of people who took to the streets for the demonstrations across Southern California and the rest of the country.

Tens of thousands? There were over FIVE MILLION protesters.

E OVER THIRTEEN MILLION protesters - thank you, Lucidlethargy

California, Oregon, and Washington are all donor states that contribute a combined ~$160 billion more to the federal government than they get back each year. They also make up $3.1 trillion of the GDP, they have all mainland west coast ports, and they’re major agricultural states. They’d honestly be better off if they banded together to Bugs Bunny off.

It’s 1800 miles from Yaviza, Panama to Oaxaca, Mexico, and these little munchers made it in 2 years.

Oaxaca to Brownsville, TX is 766 miles, so the US could see them arrive in a few months. Seems speedy to me.

Several restaurants pushed back on Tuesday. Here’s an actual article instead of a tweet:

CEO Kelcy Warren, a Texas billionaire and huge trump donor, has been trying to take out environmental groups for years.

On a completely unrelated note, I wonder how Luigi is doing?

I just found out that Kia has a huge class action and extended warranty arrangement for select models. Because my 2016 is included in the affected group, it seems that Kia would reimburse for the new engine, but I’m being told my car isn’t on the list because I didn’t bring it in for a software update before it seized.

I’ve moved to different states in the past 4 years, and don’t know if any Kia notice ever got to me. Since I was unaware of the oil issue, the lawsuit, the recall workaround, and the update, I’m wondering if anyone knows what I could do to be reimbursed. Do I have any options?

Since 1776, the United States government has violated or broken over 500 Native American and First Nations treaties that were ratified by the senate and signed by the president.

Why would anyone trust a nation with a track record of 249 years of duplicity?

Not only that, Delta Air spent $3.8 million to lobby for more slots. United, Alaska, and American Airlines objected because experts have been arguing for years that Reagan is dangerously overcrowded and had been experiencing near-misses.

Anyway, Delta got what they wanted and just last month the airport started allowing more flights.

Yeah, I’m calling steaming pile of bullshit on this story. Generated by the totally transparent state of Texas, and delivered on a platter to a Fox “reporter”. Fuck sake, the footage doesn’t show cartel shooting across the river.

And it’s glossing over the alleged simultaneous confrontation between cartel and Mexican military. If that’s the case, a stray round might have gone further north than intended.

This is nothing but propaganda timed to rile up the right and justify these despicable deportations. Bonus for inspiring hate crimes.

Everyone is too busy downplaying the “vehicular accident with an individual” and covering their asses to even think about what this says of the Reverend Martin Luther King’s legacy.

The mayor won’t even say his name.

My son - who served eight tours in almost every M.E. country after 9/11, who was crushed under a C130 then denied surgery for his injuries so now at age 42 he can barely walk, who slept on the glowing ground of K2, and who witnessed unspeakable horrors - was living in a tent near the river until recently.

Fuck this fucking country.
