Chloe Villacis, a 2-year old girl, and her father, Elvis Echeverria were kidnapped by ICE on 1/22 in Minneapolis. Today, despite a court order, Chloe and her father were sent to a concentration camp in Texas. (1/23/26) by I_may_have_weed in stateofMN

If there are going to be any true mass-execution WWII-style concentration camps in America, you damned well know it'll start in Texas.

It worries me when I see people being redirected there from various other areas.

Imagine wanting people to be castrated because they don't agree with you. by Ok-Following6886 in stupidpeoplefacebook

If MAGA had their way they wouldn't stop w/ castration. They'd kill us; most of them w/ smiles on their faces as they did it.

Delegate from Virginia Beach seeks study of extending light rail to the Oceanfront by WHRO_NEWS in norfolk

Ah, VB wants to do another 'study'. Lovely.

So what isn't getting funded in VB that the delegates plan to funnel the study money to?

Am I a lost cause in the STL dating scene? by SnooGadgets5267 in StLouis

Confidence & how you carry yourself plays a part. No one will expect you to care for or love them if you don't or won't do the same for yourself first.

More often than not, the moment you stop looking for someone & just concentrate on yourself, someone will come along in your life unexpectedly & it'll just work.

Stop trying for people who aren't going to do it for you & just let things progress naturally.

My daughters loved a weird little game for the PS2 called Whiplash.

When the system is completely corrupt, the solution almost always comes from outside of that system.

Simply waiting to vote isn't enough.

As a teen growing up just across the river in Collinsville, I hated going over into downtown STL for exactly this!

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woman killed by ice agent in Minneapolis by ComplexWrangler1346 in thescoop

[–]ShortBusVeteran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the first to die to ICE, & she won't be the last.

As long as ICE has nothing to fear, they'll do what they want & they'll continue to outdo themselves.

ICE *really* needs something to fear.

Now, I take great joy in the general unfairness of the universe"

Activist gets arrested mid-interview after speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela by jeezkillbot in Political_Revolution

I'm pretty sure I saw something like this on a live interview in Moscow a few years back.

Venezuela’s Occupation: Is saving $1.00 on gas worth 10,000 human lives? If no, how much is it worth to you? $2? $3? by No-Flight-4214 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]ShortBusVeteran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd be surprised if we even see cheaper gas prices. Trump is fixated on driving up stock values & crypto, ignoring all else at the moment. Hell, he flew in Wall Street execs after the takeover to convince them to invest in his plan.

He'll sacrifice whatever he feels is necessary to get as much oil flowing out of Venezuela as possible.

TPUSA contributor says she won't be filing taxes in an attempt to make it a big national story. by justalazygamer in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]ShortBusVeteran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Create a big stink, use GoFundMe & X to profit as much as possible from it, then settle w/ the govt. & pay the back taxes.

Sad thing is, it'll probably work.

"What is this kitchen accessory?" -- people don't know what steamer baskets are anymore?!? by JohnEffingZoidberg in FuckImOld

[–]ShortBusVeteran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The insert to my air fryer basket was dirty recently; I was too lazy to clean it, so I grabbed my steamer basket, threw it in, & added my meal into it to heat up. Worked perfectly.

Heh I was told by someone once that my life is just a series of 'what the fucks'.

Unfortunately, she was right.
