They kept seeing my wife pull into a charger at a supermarket, plug in and wander off to the deli, call me to see if i wanted her to get anything else and stroll back in time to unplug and, refreshed, drive on again
and finally went, hmmmmm

They would, of course, never have allowed her to travel overland as she would no doubt have preferred, it adds insult to injury to fly her home
But maybe it seems there ARE some people that even Israel will not mess with

Until Covid, large cohorts had never had ANY direct, compulsory, backed-up-by-force contact, AT ALL, with the organs of the state, no cops/CYFS/WINZ, nothing.
It was a shock & personal affront that they couldn't "just do what I want", that THEY had obligations to others, that's just for "them"

The problem is that the solution to all complex problems is also complex and we have been conditioned to believe, and only accept, that political comms need easily grasped, punchy, slogans about simple, easy solutions
Getting to item 3 and we have already lost 80% of attention
So HOW do we act?

NOW, she can prescribe 2 on the house, one to use, one as backup if the first gets damaged or it takes longer than 100min to get to ED
Not sure how we got to this under the CoC but if you need them but they have been too expensive before, bring it up next time you are with the doc.

Such populations can't be governed, but they can be ruled, which is exactly what P2-025 and Trump envision.

In the UK there is the "Riot Act" which has to be read to a gathering, aloud, as a precursor to use of force to disperse the crowd.
Maybe CA needs to pass a "Fascism Act" to be texted to every trooper, whose contact details the state has, informing them that they are now subject to that sanction.

CA AG needs to contact these guys to inform them that they are already obeying an illegal order from the POTUS and that they will, make that WILL, be held personally accountable for any harm to civilians or damage to property they cause while following illegal orders, including this one

Bugger, but well done. Is it possible those who've had it, collectively, have been a breeding ground for new version?
My mantra all along has been "Jacinda was right"

JHFC, they really, I mean genuinely, really, actually do believe that "front line staff" run on actual fucking magic
How many "backroom staff" does Doocey have?
Can we take them away from him now? Or do we have to wait till next year to kick the hapless turd to the gutter
Which will kick him back

Or if they are there, no riot gear

13yrs ago we moved here to grow as much food as we can because bad shit was clearly coming. Pandemic was well down the list but in there
Heedless, greedy, malevolent, incompetent government were separate lines, we seem to have hit the jackpot

1 of them is staying home and masks up when she has to go out, she knows, but she doesn't want to know. 2nd time at least for her

Have you had CV, because it's an evil bloody thing that does damage everywhere, and seems to open the door to all kinds of other shit, aside from LC itself
We are still novid but Linda recently had a cough and 1st stop, test
Thanks for not letting up on the RAT and good luck

TWICE in 6 weeks, 2 family members, acknowledging they have "not-a-cold" and feeling shit, refuse to be tested because, "what would they do with that information anyway?"
"They" being the health system, "they" as in relatives feel NO sense of responsibility, BOTH 65+

And those of us who could see, & acknowledge what was being prepared for us, need to understand that there are now millions of people whose emotions need to catch up with their reality, in the process knocking holes in their world view and belief systems
They are fragile & in a shit ton of trouble

Right now there are IDF people trying to calculate with how many broken bones, missing teeth and black eyes it will be possible to release her again, while plausibly claiming that she "resisted arrest for the crime of trafficking baby formula to starving children"
Because that is what Israel is now

Stoking fear is a bonus, the fascist tide is testing the current high water mark
If this sticks, next step is arrest Newsom, possibly Walz and Pritzker
They will not stop till they are stopped
And since it could not be done by ballot, it WILL be done the hard way

They HAVE to do it because all of the words they'd have to use for what is fundamentally happening in the US are socially, culturally, politically, literally, 'un-speakable"
Democracy is being killed there, & here, the result will be deprivation, chaos
NOBODY wants to be first to say it out loud

Every other Democratic Governor of every state needs to be sitting down with their AG, their Guard Command and the Command of every Federal base in their state and asking them to show the legal chain of the orders they would need to verify to act on Trumps/Miller/Hesgeth's orders
NOW
comment in response to
post
There is no point demanding of Hesgeth that HE do it, there is NO accountability or succour there
Small plus, Newsom insists that "Trump" stepping in IS the problem
Not "The president", not "President Trump"
Just "Trump", like the felon he is
But don't come for the King, and fail, like Prigozhin

Little better get his hunting knife out and jab it into this easy meat again, and again, and again
EVERY time they interview him, every public message,
"Ray Chung can't add up, he's either poorly educated, or full of it, maybe both, why would you vote for anyone that untrustworthy?"
Again
and again
