@milkman76 There's no shortage of right-wing folks in Blue states. California is not all good vibes and whatnot - plenty of places in San Diego, Orange County, Riverside, (and all over NorCal) etc where I'm sure there are plenty of gun nuts with personal Arsenal's just itching to get Rittenhousing.
@AlexanderVI you are 100% correct. I grew up in California and have lived all over the country. There are large numbers of heavily armed people *everywhere* in America (it's just that red states are more likely to have open carry so you *see them* more). And conservatives in blue states are the *worst* — resentful, protected from their bad decisions by blue state policies but extra aggrieved because they don't have the majority cultural power to inflict their bigotry on everyone.
@milkman76 I'm not, but my experience of ten years in LA being around a wide variety of people from different backgrounds was that those on the right were generally more comfortable with gun ownership, and that there are many places in the state that are deeply red despite the overall impression of some outside that California is all groovy and whatever.
I am sure, however, as you point out, that it's not EXCLUSIVELY right wingers who are armed.
Meanwhile, in #LosAngeles. #ICE under attack b/c this👇
Via "feminist news", facebook. "ICE agents and #LAPD turned the beautiful city of LA into a war zone Friday evening. Heavily armed masked ICE goons ransacked a vibrant immigrant community, but they certainly weren't expecting the neighborhood to stand their ground. Hundreds of community members workers and activists overwhelmed ICE agents and had them corralled around the federal building."

The #Madleen crew has almost arrived! For those who have felt powerless watching the #genocide, or simply do not wish to see evil triumph by doing nothing, now is the chance to support them:
Kat Abughazaleh "I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple.
Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay." #ICE #LA
At this time next Saturday, we will be taking to the streets across the country. While Trump wastes millions of dollars on a birthday parade in DC, we’re showing up everywhere else to say NO KINGS.
On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. It rises up everywhere else.
“Nobody who is engaged in this fight right now is fearless. If you’re fearless, you’re not paying attention because Donald Trump is systematically targeting institutions and people who are standing up to him.” - Ezra tells Aaron Parnas why you should join No Kings Day
From 1933–44, the Gestapo (Geheime Staatspolizei, i.e. Secret State Police) and its partner agencies—SiPo/RSHA (Security Police/Reich SS Security Main Office) and the SD (Security Service)—patrolled homes & workplaces, making warrantless arrests under “Schutzhaft” (protective custody). They targeted political dissidents, Jews, Roma, clergy, homosexuals, etc., often based on civilian denunciations, and deported many to conc. camps—bypassing any judicial review. #trump #ice #fight #democracy
Germany has no equivalent to the U.S. Second Amendment and no “stand your ground” laws. Self-defense is permitted but must be proportionate. The social security system, incl. healthcare, is based on solidarity and financed through contributions shared by employees and employers. In contrast to the U.S., Germany places greater emphasis on collective security and social responsibility. That's what the far-right is abusing all the time: 'our -tax dollars, -country, -rights' - big BS.
“A draft dodger is holding a military parade on June 14. That is so offensive to people like me that I have no words that are not profane to say what I feel.”

She has the hots for your brother and you for hers. Seems only logical that you both swap. But seeing how much she liked your brothers cock you couldn't help but have a little taste too.

Your dirty Aunty slipped these panties in with your birthday card. They smell incredible as you wrap them around your hard cock and stroke thinking of her.
well the good news is, the AC in the acura is blowing cold air
the bad news is, it smells like absolute donkey balls. i think the evaporator drain tube may be clogged, for one. i will have to blow some compressed air up there to unclog it and am gona run an ozone generator in the car to see if that helps. might have to remove and clean the evaporator coil tho " title=""/>
i was supposed to do some tube notching tonight. got my tubing cut on the bandsaw but i think i need to unclog this AC drain in case water is collecting in there and getting even more gross
Trump border czar Tom Homan announces National Guard deployment to Los Angeles County after anti-ICE demonstrations turned violent, stating authorities won't apologize for enforcing the law.
To modern eyes, it sounds bizarre—but placing a live frog in a milk bucket was once a clever survival tactic. In rural Russia and Finland, people noticed that milk stayed fresh longer when a frog was swimming in it. This tradition, passed down for generations, was based on keen observation rather than scientific understanding.
Years later, researchers discovered the truth: brown frogs secrete powerful antimicrobial peptides through their skin—natural compounds that fight off bacteria. What seemed like folklore turned out to be early biochemistry in action. A frog in your milk wasn’t just a rural myth—it was an unwitting act of preservation.
Random question: If one of these unidentifiable ICE goons not wearing a standard-issue uniform had his melon popped, would ICE release the victim's name, or would it withhold that information because ICE is doing what many of us suspect, which is recruiting white supremacist, pro-MAGA militia members?

Since the early 1980's, the public schools, Coast to Coast, have been involved in taking or directing minor children to Planned Parenthood for advice and/or abortions. There is the chance that any of these minors could die or end up sterile!! Who holds the liability for this murder and maiming?
