After about 18 month of mostly push-ups I went on a spending spree this afternoon, it is time for the next level. Call it a mid life crisis if U want, I choose to embrace it.

So these are on the way.
125.5 kg (277 pounds) barbell included.
I swapped the barbell for a black one, 1.8 meter, 5.9 feet, and I will repaint the red security arms black.

It will narrowly fit in my living room. But the collars in gold/yellow, I will not repaint those.

@gme Well, when that happened the people protesting were in INSTAGRAM after the fact explaining how they were kickout from the place by the police (or security staff I can't remember) with violence.
But anyway during Biden/Kamala4genocide times there were dozens of videos showing protesters kicked out everywhere they protested, like they were criminals. Just like this Senator.
Here I leave this nice video of the journalist Sam Husseini being dragged out FOR JUST ASKING about the genocide by #blinkenthebutcherofgaza. Include Max Blumenthal.

I remember that incident with Blinken well.

I'm not trying to make excuses just genuinely want to know if my perception of what happened that day at the Kamala rally was wrong that's all.

I really would love to know how and why Israel has such a stronghold on western governments.

It certainly smells like some mind control psychological operation from the 1950s. And it's not just the US. Canada. The UK. Germany. France. Australia. The mental gymnastics that every politician there has to jump through to justify their unwavering support to a bunch of terrorists is maddening.

Almost makes me believe that all our politicians are a bunch of lizard people aliens from another planet hell-bent on world domination or something.

Almost.

@gme The same day during the DNC: "Officers pushed and pulled the protesters to try to remove them from the area, at one point shoving one protester down a staircase leading to the entrance. Police also used pepper spray and fired projectiles containing chemical irritants.

Demonstrator Dani Noble said people came to the DNC to peacefully call on Democratic Party leadership to support a ceasefire in Gaza.

Instead, “we were met by police pulling on folks that are disabled or have chronic illnesses, pulling people to the ground in riot gear”, Noble said"

FYI but this seems to contradict some things:

## What Happened After Kamala Harris Said "I'm Speaking" to Protesters at Her Rally

Incident Overview
During a campaign rally in Detroit, Michigan, Vice President Kamala Harris was interrupted by a group of pro-Palestinian protesters who began chanting slogans such as “Kamala, Kamala, you can’t hide! We won’t vote for genocide” and demanding a ceasefire in Gaza and an arms embargo on Israel[6][8][9][10]. Harris responded by asserting, “If you want Donald Trump to win, then say that. Otherwise, I’m speaking,” echoing a phrase she became known for during the 2020 vice presidential debate[6][8][10]. Her supporters responded with applause and chants to drown out the protesters[8][10].

What Happened to the Protesters
The protesters were escorted out of the rally by campaign staff and security personnel after their interruption[6][9]. This is a standard response at political events when disruptions occur, and there are no reports from the provided sources of any arrests or further altercations following their removal[6][9].

Protesters’ Perspective
Two of the protesters, identified as Hamamy and Hakim, later spoke to Mother Jones about their motivations, stating that their goal was to pressure Harris to call for a ceasefire in Gaza and to highlight her support for Israel[9]. They acknowledged that they expected to be removed from the event and expressed that their main objective was to draw attention to their cause[9].

Aftermath and Broader Context
The incident was widely covered in the media and became a talking point about Harris’s approach to handling protests on the campaign trail[2][3][6][7][8][9][10]. Harris has faced similar interruptions at other rallies, especially regarding the Gaza conflict, and has generally responded by affirming the right to protest while firmly redirecting the focus to her message[2][7].

Summary Table: Key Details
| Event | What Happened to Protesters | Harris’ Response | Aftermath/Impact |
|---------------------------------|-----------------------------|-----------------------------|-----------------------------------|
| Detroit rally, Aug 2024 | Escorted out by staff | "I'm speaking" | Media coverage, no arrests noted |
| Protesters’ motivation | Call for Gaza ceasefire | Affirmed right to protest | Protesters gave interviews |

Conclusion
After Kamala Harris told the protesters "I'm speaking" at her Detroit rally, the protesters were escorted out by campaign personnel. There were no reports of further incident or arrests, and the protesters later discussed their actions publicly, emphasizing their intent to spotlight Gaza and U.S. policy[6][9][10]. Harris has continued to use such moments to reinforce her campaign messaging and her stance on protest and free speech[7][8].

I mean, even Mother Jones interviewed the activists (I just read the interview) that were removed that day and they didn't mention anything about being roughed up by anybody just an FYI.

I think it's important to always keep an open mind about Trump, about Palestine, about everything.

in reply to George E. 🇺🇸♥🇺🇦🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

@gme Again, it wasn't just one time protesters interrupted Kamala or Biden or Blinken. The same day this happened there were more protesters there. To me remove someone cause they protest, it's not what democracy is about. There were people arrested and treated with wiolence by the security or the cops. I watch it live with my eyes. Don't need Mother Jones or CNN or SKY NEWS to clarify what I watched.
My point is that what we are watching today Democrats did it before. And it's embarrassing to listen to this Senator acting like they were cool with protesters and now with Trump is bad.

I wonder if #ICE and #CBP realize that the #2A grants every person in this Country the "right to bear arms". Just like the #1A grants everyone the right to free speech and the #5A grants everyone the right not to testify against themself.

It's high-time we educated our immigrant communities and let them know they have a #2A right to defend their home and their family when it's being home-invaded by armed thugs.

"The genocide is not going to end unless the West forces Israel to stop. This week more than 40 Israeli military intelligence officers went on an effective strike, refusing to be involved in combat operations, saying Israel was waging a “clearly illegal" and “eternal war” in Gaza.

And yet Starmer and Lammy will not even concede that Israel has violated international law"

For example, while your Meshtastic device doesn't have an IMSI and does not communicate with cell towers, it does have a unique identifier that it broadcasts with every packet. If you associate that identifier with other data about you, such as geolocation or messages in public channels, or even by using the same device at home, you can be exposing yourself to similar risks as if you simply took your phone. Basically, burner phone rules apply.

This is the entrance to the bathrooms at Moynihan Station around 5:30pm on Saturday. Women's room on the right, men's room on the left. I used the men's room, there was no line.

We've known for decades that there are plenty of legitimate reasons for women to take more space and time in bathrooms than men. If there's a bathroom built in this century that has a line for women but not for men, especially with more than a dozen women, the architect who signed off on it should never work again.

Jack #POSOBIEC lâche une bombe :
🧠 Des agents du renseignement #US savaient parfaitement que des #drones ukrainiens allaient frapper des bases russes… et ils ont volontairement caché l’info à la Maison Blanche.
💥 Résultat :
– Risque d’escalade nucléaire majeur.
– Président tenu dans l’ignorance totale.
– Insubordination pure au sommet de l’État.
📢 Ce que ça implique :
⚠️ Le commandant en chef n’est plus aux commandes.
⚠️ Des éléments hors contrôle dictent la stratégie militaire.
⚠️ Une guerre de l’ombre est menée dans le dos du peuple américain.
💣 Si c’est vrai, ce n’est pas juste une fuite : C’est un coup d’État silencieux.
👉 Qui gouverne vraiment les États-Unis ?
Un président élu… ou une machine parallèle incontrôlable ?

BREAKING: Update by Adalah Center on Freedom Flotilla Volunteers in the Israeli occupation Custody:

"Adalah Update – 12 June 2025, 13 PM Jerusalem Time

*Six Freedom Flotilla

Volunteers in the Israeli occupation Custody:

"Adalah Update – 12 June 2025, 13 PM Jerusalem Time

Six Freedom Flotilla Volunteers En Route to Airport for Deportation; Two Remain in Israeli Custody

After more than 72 hours in #Israeli custody following the #unlawful interception of the Madleen Freedom Flotilla in international waters on Sunday night 8 June, Israeli immigration authorities informed Adalah’s lawyers that six volunteers are now being transferred to Ben Gurion Airport for deportation.

The six volunteers expected to be deported today or early tomorrow morning are: Mark van Rennes (The #Netherlands), Suayb Ordu ( #Turkey), Yasemin Acar ( #Germany), Thiago Avila ( #Brazil), Reva Viard ( #France), and Rima Hassan ( #France). So far, Adalah lawyers are facing difficulties visiting them at the airport.

Two other volunteers, Pascal Maurieras (France) and Yanis Mhamdi (France), remain in custody at Givon Prison, under the authority of the Israel Prison Service, awaiting their deportation tomorrow, 13 June, afternoon. They will be seen by their lawyers today.

While in custody, volunteers were subjected to #mistreatment, punitive measures, and #aggressive treatment, and two volunteers were held for some period of time in solitary confinement. Adalah protested this inhumane treatment to the Israeli authorities and demanded that it cease.

Adalah calls for the immediate release of all eight volunteers and for their safe passage to their home countries. Their continued detention and forced deportation are unlawful and a part of #EVIL #Israel’s ongoing #violations of international law."

I just watched Alex Padilla get thrown to the floor and cuffed after trying to ask Noam a question at a presser.

The Senate is meant to be only second to the House of Representatives in power in our system of Democracy. They are fewer, older, and meant to be the wise body of the government, serving longer than presidents, and running less often than reps.

If you're waiting for the sign that things have gone too far, it's passing you by.
