"’…recipe for disaster because you have these masked federal officers w/very little identification, sometimes no identification, wearing plain clothes and masks,’ [Arizona Attorney General Kris] Mayes explained.
‘We have a stand-your-ground law that says if you reasonably believe your life is in danger, and you’re in your house or your car or on your property, that you can defend yourself w/lethal force,’”

I don't think I'm ever going to enjoy gifts.
I can get why people would give them to children. After all, children don't have their own budget. However, I'm talking about occasional gifts, not a new toy every second week, because "we must outcompete the other grandparents". But to adults?
Once I've heard that you should gift people with what they won't buy themselves. Well, that's won't work for me. I'm a minimalist. If I don't need something, I don't want to have it. Unnecessary junk is only emotional burden to me.
I can get why you'd enjoy something handmade. But something people bought? If I need something, I can buy it myself, when I need it. And I definitely don't need people to prove to me that they never cared to learn who I am, and just buy whatever they like or whatever is "fashionable"; which usually means exactly the opposite of what I'd prefer (i.e. something minimalistic). Or even worse, I don't need people manipulating me through gifts.
Sweets? Besides my diabetes, I don't really enjoy expensive shit that people generally buy because it's what's advertised. For the money they waste on it, I'd buy three times as much sweets I'd actually enjoy.
Gift cards? Oh yes, "you aren't supposed to give money, so let's just give the equivalent of money that's actually worth less than money". Actual money? And here we reach the true nonsense; we exchange the same amount of money, so it's just pointless gesture. Unless one of us gives less money…
What I'd really like, as a gift? Maybe that people would finally bother accepting me as who I am. The absolute minimum of caring that I hate consumerism, and not fueling it "for me".

#MastodonPoll: I'm considering (or rather imagining) a Constitutional Amendment to the "State of the Union" part of Article II, but I'm debating myself over the wording... how would you fill in the blank in this proposed amendment?
"If the president _______ when performing this duty [to provide information regarding the State of the Union], this shall be grounds for impeachment."

we're driving thru some states on a road trip to grandparents and my older bro is playing bulgarian choir music or some shit and this is the most epic gas station stop of all time

The root cause of all of this is centrism.
It confuses criminal “opinions” (racism, xenophobia, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, etc.) with actual policy disagreements.
These aren’t things we need to discuss or find a middle ground on or have some stupid tent analogy about.
These are things we need to eradicate.

Minnesota's brief asserts that federal agents left the scene several hrs after the shooting,
“allowing the perimeter to collapse and potentially spoiling evidence,”
a “sharp departure from normal best practices” that may’ve “directly led to the destruction of evidence.”
