  1. their amygdala is absolutely short-circuiting and there is no outlet for the confusion and rage produced by the organic cognitive dissonance so they have to pop in and spew hate/nonsense just to relieve some pressure.
  2. wait...was Jeremiah talking to Trump??
  3. https://www.newsweek.com/university-texas-has-power-stripped-bill-passes-2061145
  4. regardless... great development 👍 hope it goes further! gotdamn kudos to Van Hollen.
  5. maybe just like every other world leader Bukele thinks Trump is an easily punked moron who is doing a great job self-destructing the USA and was like 'fuck it, i've always wanted to be a hero, what do i care?'
  6. nice words but he didn't destroy shit
  7. updates to this thread don't even move the needle anymore lol
  8. didn't you talk to a Canadian immigration attorney recently or was that someone else? i don't remember if there was any follow up... you know, for decades one side or the other has always claimed 'im leaving!' when the other side won... this is the first time i've ever seen people actually do it/ seriously put plans in place. we personally know four families pulling the trigger. that's... really something 😳 ETA didn't realize which thread this was... but ^that's just leaving the country... the leaving/left Texas numbers are even higher, probably 75% of our social group (so far).
  9. honestly we're probably not that far off...
  10. i joked a couple of weeks ago about John being deported if he's not careful. i no longer think it's a joke. he'll be okay bc he has fame and money, but it will still be fucked up.
  11. this is me. although i've actually gotten pretty good at getting out in the sunshine and nature and appreciating the beauty around me here. literally touch grass i guess 😆 but yeah, i remain very plugged in, informed and aware (something about being a witness to it all??) and every couple of weeks i kind of have to just...eat cake for a day or two.
  12. #4...doesn't the major disaster declaration have to happen first, before any FEMA assistance gets distributed? that may be more a reflection of the ignorance of Arkansas leadership lol
  13. WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK
  14. yeah...i have found myself thinking a LOT about how the average German citizen went about their daily lives in 1938 and beyond. like...i've been seeing those folks through a really different lens in recent weeks. i see how it happened. i really do. and my privileged, retired, blue-state self has developed some sincere empathy for those citizens. because, like...wtf, what do i do? there is no answer right now, none at all.
  15. reminds me of my niece! 😊
  16. yeah let's hope there's not a repeat of the last time an American politician flew into a tropical latin country to try and help someone return to the states 😳
  17. whatever you do, do NOT let them see your surly posting history. smash your phone if you have to.
