#NewMexico This video about the depth of our drought popped up in Rio Rancho NextDoor, of all places. It's interesting though. It is 12 minutes long. https://youtu.be/XtZL1UNNAFg?si=jQSeas92GAtWhc-A

@kristinHenry @skinnylatte and after the Civil War, Arizona was set up by former confederate soldiers. The first time I realized that, I recalled all the 1950's black and white TV westerns. Those writers took pages out of history and made a half-hour morality play out of them. From the former soldiers, to the burning down of courthouses that held the Mexican land records, the first time I heard any of that was as a small child watching those old shows.

@Heartofcoyote @Nonilex too bad the Kochs tried to stop every light rail and train development in the U.S. https://www.masstransitmag.com/home/news/12417422/how-the-koch-brothers-are-killing-public-transit-projects-around-the-country

@Heartofcoyote @Nonilex yeah, when people from other countries ask why the U.S. doesn't have passenger rail systems, it's because we had to fight tooth and nail with what in now called the 'Epstein Class' to get anything built. They have been screwing the U.S. over for many decades.

@mastodonmigration The Epstein class owns the media.

@mastodonmigration I expect Maxwell to soon have a guest column in the Wall Street Journal.

@artemis @smn Bondi was Florida AG when Epstein was still alive. She must have been 'looking the other way'.

@_L1vY_ what I tell maga over on Newsbreak is "There is no national police in the constitution. Remember Ruby Ridge and Waco? That's what ICE will be doing if they become the national police". I expect this warning is going to be ignored by libertarians and conservatives in the same way people ignored our warnings about what would happen to Gaza under Trump.

@_L1vY_ @atrupar Federalism has always been a problem for national fascists. With ICE, he has created an unconstitutional national police force to try to overcome that.

@lauren When the kicking in doors started last week, we had some negative comments about that from 2A aficionados on the local MAGA infested Next Door app. I mentioned perhaps it's time to get out the 'don't tread on me' flags?. But now, with the infringement of the 2A by the Regime, they are fairly quiet. It is so unlike them. I wonder if they are plotting things.

@Nonilex This video is why the billionaires have taken over most social media, to keep evidence from getting out and contradicting the lies.

@Nonilex yes. I was watching that video exactly when the TV showed Bovino saying the exact opposite of what I was watching.

@_L1vY_ New Mexico added 'USA' to their vehicle plates in 1969 to attempt to deal with such ignorance. ICE is not hiring the brightest folks, apparently.

@randahl he is now, in the vernacular of the USA, 'batshit crazy'. The question is why are his backers letting him run out the string like this.

@davidaugust so ICE are now culture warriors, standing up against liberal elites? But that's the role the 'saved not soft' MAGA churches were playing. Combine them and we will have our own morality police. Our unique U.S. morality is that mix of Calvinism/Ayn Rand/Prosperity Gospel: Only the economic makers are the select few & worthy of heaven, and everyone not blessed with riches is a taker deserving of nothing. Soon to be enforced by the ICE morality police. The pieces are coming together.

@davidaugust yes. the Fox article about the wine ladies set me off, sorry. It had some culture war lingo in it. Combining religion and military is scary. Usually people are too conflicted and disorganized in the USA. It's a feature not a bug. but now we have acting president Miller.

@solarbird the video I saw, the ICE may have said 'get out of the car', which was blocking the road. or something similar. The car then drove off and the ICE agent short two shots with the already pulled gun. Shooting into cars by police has been banned in many places, because it is a basic firearm rule to never shoot unless one can see their target.

@ldmay65 @StillIRise1963 That is why if billionaires leave places with a wealth tax, no one will care. Hoarded money doesn't help an economy, and in fact helps an economy less than a person with no money.

@StillIRise1963 Term limits for congress would be a start. That will take a constitutional amendment.

@blogdiva I use USain regularly.

I recall a map of the 'second language' spoken in each state, and arabic was #2 in Michigan. My old MAGA High School classmates on facebook flipped out over that one.

I looked up New Mexico languages. The statistical atlas has some interesting statistics. Keep in mind some of the Spanish spoken is 'New Mexican Spanish'. https://statisticalatlas.com/state/New-Mexico/Languages
