"One way to execute on this would be to laser-focus on just 2 or 3 Senate seats and 8 to 10 House districts", he wroteTASS
Yes the Florida situation is fucking horrifying but the exact thing I'm struggling with today is how they rolled this out - like it was a funny viral marketing campaign. And not in an inside joke sort of way. They did it in a way that made it seem like everyone is in on it. And you know something? They were kind of right.
MAGA fascists were immediately hashtagging Alligator Alcatraz, and selling hats and tshirts, pulling in Mexican food trucks to eat tacos and elotes in front of the death camp for Latinos, and sharing memes about it with each other.
Like ha ha ha isn't this funny everybody.
These sinister motherfucking sociopaths were all like "ha ha isn't this death camp funny". All together. All of them. Everywhere.
We never deserved America if this is what we are as a people. Burn the whole fucking thing down.

The architects who design these buildings are not thinking in terms of maintenance. One of our roof gardens you had to get everything in the wheelbarrow and take it up in the elevator, and anything you trimmed you had to either throw over the railing down to the trailer without hitting anyone, or you had to take it down in the elevator. Another one had steps, but the treads were all a meter and a half broad, so taking a wheelbarrow up that was impossible. We had to carry it down in tubs. Parking is also always a nightmare at these places, for some reason.
I'm doing other work now, but being a gardener taught me a lot about the more practical aspects of things.
