Just a reminder before you start loading up on those Amazon Prime sales: the owner of the company literally rented a city for his wedding. He doesn't need your $$. Spend a little more, buy local, and you'll be helping an independent retailer stay in business. Boarded up shops don't help any of us.
It's infuriating. At least China get shit like high speed rail and high tech cities our of their authoritarian nightmare. We get hicks with delusions of grandeur.
They demand Zohran Mamdani be deported for offering free childcare.

Thou shalt not tell others “this is a distraction” from something else you have unilaterally decided is more important.
You are not helping.
You are attacking your allies for caring.
⚠️ Warning: The Trump administration is circulating footage from 2020 to make the situation in L.A. appear more chaotic than it is. This is an intentional effort to manufacture a larger crisis. Stay alert. Pay attention. The propaganda machine is in overdrive.
With the $45 million being spent on the president's parade here’s what that money could do for veterans instead:
House 3k veterans for an entire year in transitional housing
Provide full PTSD treatment for 3.75k veterans for a year
