This is the tiniest little blip. Sure Bezos will take note, but they’re just going to jack up prices for the tarrifs. What will become of people who can’t afford all their cheap Chinese junk? If they get to vote in a couple years we MIGHT see some action taken.
Then I applaud your online discourse. Trump is going to cause a worldwide disruption, and even tho this is the fault of a bunch of fuckwit Americans, it’s important to focus on what we can do.
They are. How many have you attended? Walz has been doing a bunch of events. Corey Booker spoke for over 24 hours on the senate floor. AOC and Bernie are having tons of meetings.
You could organize one yourself.
If I knew about a sign in the river as a teenager, I wouldn’t destroy it, but moving it upriver so it took longer to go under the bridge might have been fun.
I kinda prefer it that way. Leave me the fuck out of this bullshit. I’m not stepping on necks the way Boomers did but I’m also old and tired enough that it’s not going to be me leading the charge for change. I’ll deal with my own PDFs.
Because 'luxury' is a sliding scale. A lot of dudebros spend 100k+ on 'trucks' that have never seen dirt, let alone hauled anything. An acquaintance of mine has a V12 Jaguar that he has lovingly coddled back from the dead by sheer will and a LOT of late nights in his meager garage. He's just to the positive side of 'poor' but that car is his fun-money-entertainment (doesn't have kids or a GF at the moment).
Nebraska is actually more blue than you might think. Also, it’s pretty assured that Democrats are showing up to town halls and making their voices heard. They’re EVERYONE’S rep no matter their party affiliation.
RawStory is horrible too
They’re not going to shut it off, just silence anything but their own views.
He moved it to Proton! Here's the new link. https://docs.proton.me/doc?mode=open-url&token=WR9Z5F75FR#eErapmqe2tlZ
It’s a Google doc and he’s updating it on a regular basis. Probably best to just create another Google account if you’re concerned.
There’s no money to be made by either Trump or President Musk, so why bother with arresting him?
Heck, I HOPE someone at the NSA is reading this thing.

Treasure trove of resistance ideas
A Reddit user has created (and continues to update) a treasure trove of ideas and concepts that are easy to chose from in ways to fight the current US administration, including many things this community would hold dear.
I’m mostly in the same boat. If you really want to know my kink-search-history, I really DGAF. The morality is nice to think about but it’s all about your personal morals in a lot of cases.
Is that pepper? Nope… gunpowder.
Black cars look dirty so much faster than any other color, they get hotter in the sun, and they’re harder to see at night which ostensibly would lead to more accidents.
Uh, the angels that cover your malady require a 10% tithe.
Companies look at quarter to quarter metrics. NO company of any size looks at day-to-day metrics.
I have certainly heard of Weyerhauser, but had no idea they were that big. They're the only 'individual' owner shown. The land-owning families is odd as I'm sure it overlaps a lot with pasture and private timberland.
OIL. There's a LOT of land that might be considered cow/grazing but won't really grow anything worth it. See West Texas.

Texas rolling blackouts, rinse and repeat!

The report found that energy demand throughout the state of Texas could reach as high as 78,000 megawatts in August. And city and county officials will open 22 cooling centers for the summer.

Here's your twice-annual warning! Texas' power grid can't handle cold OR hot! Has anyone tried cutting taxes and banning people from bathrooms? That'll probably make this better.

Texas asks people to stop driving their cars LOL

Ozone pollution is expected to reach a concerning level on Friday.

Because riding my bike 11 miles to work in 95 degree heat with unhealthy air to breathe is totally an option! I'd rather take my mega-bro-dozer pickup, in case I need to buy 1000lbs of mulch... /Sarc

BoJangles
Lines are around the block, but BoJangles is open in Euless. Limited menu, but it’s here!!


Creating a Community issue?
Is the community creation causing issues for anyone else at the moment? I've been trying for a few hours now to create a community, but I'm suffering the spinning wheel forever. I'm assuming that it's just overloaded server, but in case someone has a hint, I'd appreciate it!

DFW Toddler Resources
My wife and I have a toddler and a newborn. I figure a thread on play-places, parks and kid-friendly events is a good idea :)
Even though malls are dying, we take the kids to play at
~Willow Bend - Half dead mall. Playplace is nice, but ratio of climb-ables to space means this one is better suited to running around than play.
~ Lewisville (music city). 80% dead mall. A couple small slides for the littles, and a big climbing gym for the bigger kids. Usually quite a bit quieter than any other mall, and you can generally let the littles run wild in the mall halls as it's so dead.
~ Stonebriar - fairly thriving mall. Playplace is PACKED with climbable stuff (almost too packed) and fairly small, especially for how busy it gets at times.
~ Prestonwood Church - Play place is free and not at a mall! Really better for kids out of the toddler stage.
