Thought this might be something that interested others here. It'll be the first day of our long drive east, but I'll have ear buds so I'm hoping to join in while we're traveling.

Yikes. Especially scary since it seems this particular group is so awful they are being disavowed by the larger group they used to be part of. But yeah, not fucking thank you to their brand of helping. Or as this lady says: “The last thing I’m going to do is take a free tri-tip sandwich from a right-wing extremist group,” a woman, who declined to be identified citing fear of provoking the group, told the Mercury News.

I just read that some outlets are speculating Biden will extend the student loan pause through end of June 2023. I’m all for that. But can we also get some forgiveness too, for gods sake?

The burn pit thing is so unbelievably fucked up. Like unreal. And I can almost guarantee you none of the right wing outlets will cover it in any meaningful way, if at all.

I read people were expecting extending the pause and $10K forgiveness but that was a day or two ago so it may be out-of-date.

I mean this is all great but people still wont be able to afford it next year either Oh for sure, hence why I am asking about forgiveness too, ha. At this point it feels like from a political position, it would be bad for Biden to get rid of the pause until after the 2024 election.

At my branch last night we had a group meeting here wearing shirts with ar-15s on them, you know the drill. Railing about "we have to stop Joe!". I've never been so relieved to not have my regularly scheduled evening shift.
I'm also pissed because they used my storytime easel/white board (which it was obvious its for storytime because I had it prepped for storytime this morning).

And it’s definitely unnecessary cosplay. These communities always naturally come together to take care of each other during wildfires and other disasters. No need for a militia or any other nasty group (including FEMA because I’m still bitter).

I couldn't quite tell from what's provided here, but is this from the amount of people TX is busing to DC?

Plus there runs the risk of them inserting themselves into the frontline and messing up evacuations, etc. The fatigues could be mistaken as NG or someone with authority, which is effed up.

I hadn’t seen anything about this. According to the article, this isn’t new or a one off.
“Several of these minors, they said, have foregone schooling in order to work long shifts at the plant, a sprawling facility with a documented history of health and safety violations, including amputation hazards.
Most of the current and former employees who spoke with Reuters did so on the condition of anonymity. Reuters was unable to determine the precise number of children who may have worked at the SMART factory, what the minors were paid or other terms of their employment.“
