Team javelina
Come along with me on my carnage (I mean course) check this morning. What should be one of the most beautiful golf courses in the country is being destroyed by herds of javelina. If anyone has a contact in AZ state govt that can help us find a solution please pass it along.

I've returned several times to the strange social question, "Why are Americans so angry at the idea that child sex trafficking - particularly by large organizations and by kidnapping American kids - is not as common as people suggest?" Because they are, this comes up every

They say that the cactuses in Phoenix, Arizona have been collapsing due to the extreme heat but please bear in mind you are a human being and not a cactus should you collapse due to the extreme heat you will be told that you’d better get used to it.

Holy shit what is wrong with you? “Sound of Freedom” is a dangerous child-trafficking exploitation film being weaponized to incite a death cult to target Democrats in order to destabilize American democracy. It was funded by actual sex traffickers and accused sexual predators. The brainwashed “star” believes Satanic Democrats are drinking children’s blood and regularly appears at Mike Flynn’s QAnon radicalization events. The alleged “hero” of the film has funneled tens of millions of dollars from donations to his own bank accounts after raising money from conspiracy theories like children being shipped in Wayfair furniture—and from selling “the raid experience” to wealthy donors. At the end of the film people are invited to donate money to frauds using their phones. Your “review” elides all of this and gives it credit for having an authentic purpose or story. It’s QAnon propaganda and you just helped it along. Par for the course for you guys these days I guess.

As the warning signs come down I hope an archive is collecting them placing them in folders storing them in sturdy boxes writing a clear finding aid so that some day when the history of the pandemic is written historians will see that for a moment we, at least, kind of tried.

BREAKING: Gov. Abbott signed #HB900 into law, which will ban books about LGBTQIA+, Black, and Brown experiences in public schools. Lawmakers have no right taking away the freedom of Texas students to read — just because they don’t believe certain people are worth reading about.

The way that Bud Light and Target are reacting to the far right angry at including LGBTQ+ people is EXACTLY why many of us have railed against corporate pride. If your advocacy consists merely of rainbows that disappear at the first gust of fascist wind, it amounts to net harm.

So the going theory now is that things cost more because companies are just raising the prices for no reason other than to make more money. axios.com/2023/05/18/once-a-…

Something has been bothering me about some Holocaust takes and I can’t shake it. People often imagine they would have been victims of the Nazis, or part of the resistance. But no one imagines the far more likely scenario…

Parents DO have a right to decide which books their own children are allowed to read. Parents DO NOT have a right to dictate what other people’s children are allowed to read.

I had a client who said something so true today. He said that he found out that it costs over $500k to house a person on Rikers for a year (it’s true). But then he was like, if they gave me half of that, they’d never see me here ever again.

Anyone who tells you kids are being forced into surgeries knows they're lying. Anyone who tells you trans kids don't know what they want is either lying or has never met a trans kid. They claim to want to let these kids grow up and decide who they are. That's what we're doing.

MLK Day is the perfect day to remind everyone that another name for “Critical Race Theory” is “Actual American History”.
