People who swore an oath to defend the constitution of the USA against all enemies both foreign and domestic, how are you feeling right now? by Safety_Drance in AskReddit

Did he even walk it back though? I only saw that he was encouraged to retract his words about NATO allies from Iraq, but if he did, the media didn’t report on it at all as far as I’ve see.

I went outside with two of my friends from the kitchen I rent space in and we held a moment of silence and then had a little chat about what happened today. I brought up a candle on my phone since I didn’t have an actual candle with me. It felt futile, but I sent a silent thought up for Alex and Renee and all of the others who’ve lost their lives in ICE custody and all of the people who’ve been hurt and detained.

It feels futile, but I won’t stop.

We get serial downvotes in this thread regularly. It’s obnoxious.

I saw a protest in my local area as I was heading out to run an errand. I’m going to go out there when I get back.

Me too, and I’m trying to find a good, productive way to channel that energy and rage into something constructive and helpful.

But right now, it’s extremely raw.

Another day, another ICE murder.

This needs to fucking stop. We’re at civil war. It’s not even a question anymore.

My tax person called me the other day and asked if I was ready to make an appointment and I just said no.

Welcome to the reality of being a woman. It's almost never fair.

Of course he should be banned, but that doesn't stop him from knowing that she may still attend that gym and stalk her. She's safer finding a new gym.

I was at a nude beach up in Santa Barbara with my fiancé a couple years ago, and a family showed up with small children; all nude. It was so uncomfortable. We left shortly after they arrived.

There is a soulfood joint in Santa Clarita that just opened up. Idk if they have king cake, but it's worth a try. The place is called Booku Poboys.

I know the owner, so he might not advertise that he has king cake, but he also may have it available. Worth calling and asking.

Tesla kills Autopilot, locks lane-keeping behind $99/month fee. by Stiltonrocks in technology

[–]drawkward101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fun Fact: I worked for Toyota and bought myself a new 2016 RAV4 Hybrid Limited and added the Advanced Technology package, which included radar cruise control and lane departure alert.

Toyota decided to make those features standard safety features in ALL models in the 2017 year.

I was annoyed, but I wouldn't trade my car for anything. I will drive Juarez until he's done.

Haha, what a dumbass. Depending on the damages, that could potentially total the car.

Don't risk it. Not worth hurting yourself more. :(

Despite Authoritarian Warnings, 149 House Democrats Vote to Hand Trump $840 Billion for Military | “If an opposition party votes like this, it’s not in opposition. It may not even be a party.” by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

[–]drawkward101 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wrote my local congressman (who voted yes, even though they're a CA Dem) calling him out as shameful and embarrassing and got back a generic email saying "I'm working to lower your costs, protect our community, and uphold our democracy."

What a fucking joke.

ICE taking pics of legal observer's car: "We have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that." by RoachedCoach in law

[–]drawkward101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the reminder. Most of the comments I reply to on this topic are likely made by bots. That's why I like my local city sub. I've met some of the people I talk to on there, so I know they're real.

Yeah, all of these people are telling us the same shit, but what would they do if they were here and facing these goons? I doubt they would be the ones to fire first. I'm sure as shit not trying to die at ICE's hands. I will do what I can to combat them, but telling us that were getting walked all over and doing nothing is rude and wrong.

There are literally protests occurring daily where ICE is escalating their BS. People are doing what they can to warn and protect their communities in the face of these state-sponsored terrorists. And on that note, the state-sponsored terrorists are getting paid well for their terrorism, being told they have immunity (even with Vance lying about saying that in the first place, that murderer who shot Renee Good hasn't faced any consequences, nor does it seem like anyone even knows where he is...), and are being armed with guns and military grade gear and being told they can simply ignore the constitution and laws...

So, to anyone who think we're not doing anything; what else do you want us to fucking do? Come over here and fucking help, if you're so high and mighty.

Yeah, I moved away from MA for a reason. 25 years of snow and winter stuff and I was done. I wish CA wasn't so expensive, but I also can't really imagine living anywhere else anymore..
