It really feels like the human race is determined to destroy itself.

That seems so crazy to me. I'm on a bunch of different guitar forums around the Internet, and I don't recall a single time when I've seen anyone attack or harass a content creator or anyone else. It's a really friendly, highly supportive, international community, and it's HUGE. Everybody feels like a friend.

She was the subject of harassment for reasons, and here were some of them. Whether the allegations were true or not isn't the point, she still felt harassed enough to do something terrible.

Thanks for the context. Very helpful.

I have seen articles saying that a Zohran win would force the Democratic Party to face change, and acknowledge the rising progressive movement. Let's see if they accept the changes, or they fight against it. I suspect they'll fight, but if other elections start moving left, they'll be forced to change.

The next big test will be the mid-term primaries. Hopefully, this win will encourage progressives to run, and hopefully they'll win enough primary races to become a serious threat, especially against Establishment Dems.

And I hope one of them is AOC primarying Chuck Schumer. That spineless, whining bitch has got to go. He holds a lot of the blame for the rise of MAGA.

Get a bidet, and it makes it easier to put a day or two between showers.

They aren't looking for reasons to help people, just reasons to deport, no matter how thin.

I have friends who are naturalized citizens, often for decades, and all say they aren't worried, but I am. These people don't even respect Birthright Citizenship, which guaranteed in the Constitution, they certainly aren't going to respect naturalized citizens. I've heard reports that they are combing through everyone's files, looking for any discrepancy, and if they find ANYTHING, they'll lose their citizenship or green card.

Bottom line: If you are from somewhere else, they want you out.

Today, ICE also publicly beat up and detained a guy with three sons who are Marines.

I hope these stories circulate through the active duty guys, and they think about it when Hegseth orders them to fire on American protesters.

As did America, before the Homeland Security Act.

They can hire my consulting company, which includes all the others that were in my department (except Aaron in accounts payable, you know why Aaron). Everybody's pay would triple.

There's no magic wand required, the Biden administration just had to do their job, and enforce the 14th Amendment/ Section 3. But they didn't, and here we are.

It will be heavily boycotted. It will be MAGA-approved athletes getting their asses kicked by the Russians and the Chinese.
