  • I think this is exactly what the entire world saw and continues to see on any new video made public.

    That’s what I saw too.

    A threads post from FeministaJones: “I just watched Pink Coat's video That man was protecting women He was helping women who were being pepper-sprayed. He put his body in between the women and ICE. They pulled him off bc they wanted to keep assaulting the women. He risked his life to protect the women ICE was targeting because they're violent misogynists Wow. WOW.”

  • Americans, watch the videos. Believe your eyes.

    YOUR PRESIDENT IS LYING TO YOU!

    YOUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS LYING TO YOU!

    Get up! Stand up! Get involved! Will it be dangerous? Absolutely, but if you continue to sit on the sidelines, you are complicit just like all of the Germans that watched their neighbors kill millions without doing a damn thing to stop it.

    Now is the time!

  • Trump’s SS has murdered another person in Minneapolis in front of all of our eyes. The news media will say a person was “shot”, and the SS will lie about what actually happened just like the first time even though there was crystal clear video, but let’s all use the correct language. This was a murder, plain and simple.

    Let that sink in.

    This didn’t stop in LA, it didn’t stop in DC, it didn’t stop in Chicago, and it won’t stop in Minneapolis.

    We have two choices, Americans. We can either fight back ourselves or we can demand that the people we elected to serve and protect us actually serve and protect us. I think all of us would prefer the latter but have been taught all of our lives that the former is required and expected when necessary.

    The only question now is deciding when to give up on our elected leaders. I think we’re right on the verge.

  • I have been very impressed with the software in our Volvo, but one of my frustrations is that Volvo’s implementation of AAOS in our model does not support Apple Music. My hope is that this announcement foreshadows a future software update for other Volvo models to make Apple Music available in Google Play.

    And while I’m asking Volvo for things, throw in the MLB and Audacy apps and make the SiriusXM app capable of playing internet stations and podcasts in addition to the satellite stations. Easy peasy.

  • Sometimes it just takes a picture to tell a story. What do you think the investment world thinks about Trump’s insane push for Greenland and the war (trade or otherwise) that it will cause?

  • Now would be an excellent time for Congress and the Supreme Court to apply some checks and balances on the Executive Branch.

    Republicans and Democrats are trying to contain Trump’s Greenland aggression. Will it be enough?

  • The Chicago Bears gave us a season to remember even though they came up short to the goal of winning the Super Bowl. We witnessed a year of improbable individual and team plays, and we almost ran out of fingers to count the number of fourth quarter comebacks for wins.

    I’ve already equated the 2025 Bears season to the 2015 Cubs season, and that’s high praise and hopes for what will be a championship year for the Bears next year. We have a quarterback who believes he can do anything, and that kind of attitude is contagious.

    Bear Down!

    The Bears came up short, but Caleb Williams wowed the NFL again

  • At this point, it’s pretty ridiculous that Walmart has remained committed to their payment systems. There are so many other ways to track a shopper’s purchases in-store that the act of paying does not need to be tied to the rest of the experience.

    Give shoppers a good reason to sign in at the register. Perhaps shoppers earn points towards Walmart Cash or earn points towards a discount on a Walmart+ and/or Sam’s Club membership. Another option is to link a shopper via their payment card number. Many food and drink establishments already do this. The technology exists.

    I have no doubt that Walmart will come around eventually. At the end of the day, the customer is always right, and customers want to tap their phones, watches, or cards.

  • 2025 Bears = 2015 Cubs. You know what’s that means!

  • Repeat after me: The president cannot order anyone to do anything outside of the government.

    Also, this is just dumb.

    Trump will order TV networks to ‘protect’ Army-Navy football game
