I'm stunned speechless by the fact that anybody could be so stupid.  And as a "retired artist"--yeah, I join @RDCanecutter in his puzzlement as to how an artist "retires"--it's not like she doesn't have time to educate herself on the issues.  She was fucking willfully ignorant.  And she's going to suffer for it.

Not that she'll ever realize that her suffering is in any part her fault, mind you.  Not for a minute.  It's mine--I'm a "coastal elite," after all.  And more than that, it's the fault of those damned immigrants.

Fuck her.  She can get tossed out of her publicly financed housing and off her subsidized food stamps and die in a fucking ditch.  It's not just that she's a drain on society; she's actively trying to undermine our society while draining off it.  She can die and then burn in hell.

Merry fucking Christmas, everyone.

I guess I wasn't expecting LinkedIn to become the next hotspot for MAGATs to begin spewing their shit. Full disclosure my LI account has always been more of a formality that I had to ramp up my engagement in a few years ago after I was downsized. Since I've been in my new position I've been a little more active, but I mainly just use it to help colleagues as they continue to be shed from my former company every 9-12 months or so.

Suddenly, I'm seeing connections of mine stanning for Hegseth, Vivek & Elon in my feed. That leads to me instantly deleting them from my contacts. Although I may miss some of the fun when it's their turn to have their face eaten off, I'm sure as shit not running the risk of being associated with that shit on my feed.

It's like this: you get old and say you need some money. It happens.

If you're really an artist, and you still have one eye and half a hand, you can knock out colorful little widgets, flog em on eBay, and hell, with any luck, pull in a few extra bucks on eBay and Etsy. Don't tell me she doesn't have a phone. Now because I judged, and may be judged in turn, I hope I don't get afflicted with the non-art circumstances like she did. I am mostly just puzzled.

I see no reason why she could not start a website and issue limited edition numbered prints derived from painting her vagina in various colors, and then squatting on the canvas.

Granted, Kathy being Kathy is a limiting factor….which is why you sell them from the website….where you’ve stolen the picture of the deceased Russian only fans model to prominently display on the homepage.   What rich fanbois mistakingly believe about the physical characteristics of the artist is none of her concern.

Quote

California farmers could soon enjoy bumper crops thanks to President-elect Donald Trump’s pledge to lift water restrictions. But who will pick them if he follows through on his deportation threats?

The country’s largest agricultural constituency backed Trump in November, bucking California’s deep-blue electorate over his campaign promises to “open the faucet” and deliver more water to the state’s parched, conservative-leaning Central Valley. But now it’s reckoning with an uncomfortable contradiction: Trump also campaigned on mass deportations of undocumented immigrants, who make up at least half of the state’s agricultural workforce.

 

Quote

That’s left California’s agricultural barons, who employ the most farm workers of any state in the nation and grow half the produce consumed in the United States, nervously parsing Trump’s rhetoric.

“To say it would have an impact on California would be an understatement,” said Chris Reardon, vice president of policy advocacy at the industry group California Farm Bureau Federation. Reardon, who declined to say who he voted for, has been fielding calls from members asking him what exactly will happen to workers.

“We just don’t know yet,” he’s told them.

 

Quote

Trump has appointed anti-immigration hawks to top positions, like Thomas Homan as border czar, and pledged to begin deportations on “Day One” of his administration, through executive orders crafted to evade legal challenges and by undoing Biden-era restrictions on deportations. Dave Puglia, the president and CEO of the Western Growers Association, called the prospect of sweeps on farms “very troubling.”

Deporting hundreds of thousands of undocumented farmworkers from California would be logistically difficult and time-consuming, to say nothing of the legal challenges California’s Attorney General Rob Bonta and other Democratic officials are already preparing. Homan has said the administration would prioritize deporting undocumented people who’ve committed serious crimes.

 

 

Spoiler

“If that is indeed the focus of the administration’s effort, then I think most people would support that,” said Puglia, who also declined to say who he voted for. “So there’s a little bit of a wait and see thing here.”

During his first term, Trump also said he wouldn’t go after workers in the food sector. But his administration still conducted raids at Mississippi poultry plants and Nebraska produce processing facilities, arresting hundreds of workers. The extent of Trump 2.0’s deportations efforts will determine how much California’s farmers could potentially sacrifice their water access to sway his immigration policies.

So far, they’re primarily focused on building relationships with Trump’s cabinet, including Brooke Rollins, his pick for Agriculture Secretary who’s seen as a trusted adviser on other issues too.

Puglia said he’ll continue to advocate for stalled bipartisan legislation born out of a 2019 deal between the ag industry and the United Farm Workers. The bill would set up a new temporary worker visa program specifically for agriculture and create a pathway to citizenship for longtime undocumented farmworkers.

One of the bill’s moderate Republican champions, John Duarte, just lost his reelection bid to represent the Central Valley in the House. A fourth generation farmer himself, he has said he is now eyeing a Trump administration job in water or natural resources.

Puglia also sees an opportunity in the Trump administration, which is likely to undo a Biden-era rule that increased labor protections for temporary farmworkers under the H2-A visa. A federal judge in Georgia has stayed the rule following challenges from ag and business groups and Republican attorney generals. Puglia said he’d like to see the H2-A program simplified and expanded for farmworkers instead.

Antonio De Loera, communications director at the United Farm Workers, said that doesn’t necessarily address the threat of deportations.

“Anything that happens needs to first do right by the workforce that is here, the current workforce that has been feeding us for decades,” said De Loera. “We will not allow that workforce to be discarded and replaced by expansion of an exploitative gap worker program.”

His main focus, he said, will not be on legislation but on organizing and educating workers. Even if Trump doesn’t go through with mass deportations — or if California refuses to carry them through or wins its anticipated legal challenges — the threat still has an impact on workers, who may be less likely to report rights violations, and families who may be torn apart.

“The main thing we’re doing across the organization is trying to just reassure workers and empower workers, so that they’re not scared by this rhetoric into accepting working conditions that are dangerous,” he said.

'Very troubling': Leader of 'Abandon Harris' movement now anxious about Trump appointees

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-muslims-regret/

Quote

In interviews with NBC News, prominent members of the "Abandon Harris" maintained they made the right decision to either not vote for Vice President Kamala Harris or cast their ballot for Donald Trump despite previously being in the Democrats' camp.

As NBC's Jillian Frankel reported, members of the movement withheld their votes from Harris primarily because of President Joe Biden's policies involving the war in Gaza and now they are hoping for the best after Trump assumes power although there is a great deal of uncertainty.

According to Uncommitted National Movement co-founder Layla Elabed, the sister of Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), "There’s been many ways in which Harris chose the path of Liz Cheney and the donor class on a range of issues, and abandoning working families in places like Dearborn, who make up the people Democrats claim to be fighting for. And I think at the same time, Trump came in and fed a community that was grieving and in despair with lies and false promises.”

Bryarr Misner, who worked as a campaign manager for the Abandon Harris campaign in Pittsburgh, admitted they voted for Trump, with NBC reporting, "He said the point of the Abandon Harris campaign was to punish the Democrats for supporting Israel during its war in Gaza, which the campaigners view as a genocide, and he hopes the Trump campaign will be more willing to negotiate with group lead

As Misner explained, "President Trump, he continuously came and he was in the community. While I don’t believe that he’s going to enact policies that will benefit the community, he at least showed that he was willing to show up for the community."

One leader of the movement did admit some doubts now that he has seen some of Donald Trump's Cabinet appointments.

"Farah Khan, a co-chair of the Abandon Harris campaign in Michigan, said she’s been a lifelong Democrat, but not anymore. She viewed voting against Harris as a moral issue as the war continues to unfold," telling NBC, "Anybody with their right mind would not go back to the Democrats, because they have not shown any change, and they’re going to have to work really, really hard to win their votes back."

Addressing how Trump appealed to the Muslim community, she stated, "He at least, at least came and spoke to the Muslims. He heard them and said, ‘Okay, I will finish. I will end the war in Middle East,’ even if he didn’t say, you know, a genocide, but he said he will bring peace. And that’s what the people wanted to hear, and that’s why he got the votes.”

She did express reservations over the president-elect's choice of former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, an ardent evangelical Christian, as ambassador to Israel, and ex-Rep Tulsi Gabbard to oversee the Department of National Intelligence (DNI).

“It is very troubling. It’s worrisome. And some of his Cabinet picks, like Tulsi Gabbard and then Mike Huckabee, have made Muslims anxious, but we still have to wait and see how things pan out, because it’s too early to say anything about Trump, and we all know that Trump only listens [to] Trump,” Khan admitted.

Fucking children.  That's what they are.

Anyway, Vivek’s whole worldview is revolting and people are right to reject the idea that the good life is to toil away without a shred of enjoyment or socialization so you can return shareholders value.  But core MAGA can’t formulate anything except “brown people are the enemy.” They voted for White Power and are getting a government of LinkedInfluencers, LOL.  They deserve each other.

Ayup. Once I got something off eBay and the guy used Zimbabwean notes as packing materials.

Even the "solid" precious metal currencies were given to slips, slides, and petty deceits. One thing that fascinates me is Mexico's coins since the early 1900s. They were (are?) devoted to keeping some of the coins in silver, and so you'd have a real silver coin, but the numbers on it kept getting bigger. Like watching a brave but overwhelmed army fighting to hang onto a trench before having to retreat to another.
