  "He's giving a message to criminals where our federal officers are," Bondi said. "...we are looking at it, we are looking at him, and he better watch out, because that's not a protected speech. That is threatening the lives of our law enforcement officers throughout this country."'

  Actually, I believe it is protected speech. There are apps that let people know where speed traps are. You mean it's not constitutionally protected to say to someone "hey, did you see the cop down on the corner?" Ridiculous. Of course, what she means to say is that the constitution doesn't matter and laws are made up now, and they're just going to do whatever the fuck they want. They're just not quuuuuite ready to go through the trouble of literally setting the constitution on fire yet.

  I mean, they might live a whole other cultural and social experience, but right now the world's ultra-wealthy are already planning on living out the rest of their years in underground bunker complexes. I really don't see how that's a better existence for them and their kids than making 3% less profit and giving just the tiniest shit about the planet.

  I feel like that would be, and already is to some extent, both temporary and relative. Windblown microplastics don't really care if they end up in affluent areas.

  I legit don't get stuff like this. Don't these mfs have kids? Don't their kids live on this same planet? Why do you want to make sure your kids get to choke on toxic dust?

  I want wealth so I can build a better world for everyone else to live in, like building metro lines and libraries all over my city, affordable, mixed-use housing, and funding clean energy projects. We are not the same
