Amazing statistic. Of course Amy and I are two of those. And no, not all moved to Seattle, as some choose Chicago or elsewhere.

The 1st time the nyt leadership engaged me on trans issues, in 2021, they asked my opinion of a Jesse Singal review of a book by the transphobic writer Helen Joyce. The piece had been assigned by Pamela Paul π§΅
You would not believe how many automated emails I get from various fruit and vegetable expos because of my job title.
democrats should internalize that this is what their colleagues think of them and act accordingly
The State of the Union: the president is a corrupt demented sex criminal who tried to overthrow the constitution.
Apparently Mike Johnson thinks heβs Speaker of the House in the North Korean Congress
Don't watch The State of the Union tomorrow.
Donald cares more about his ratings than whether Barron gets leukemia.
What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses?
Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards
My new column on the camps www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...
BREAKING
Former ICE agent:
On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.
Strongly worded statement lol
The U.S. women's hockey gold medal-winning team has politely declined an invitation from President Donald Trump to attend his State of the Union address on Tuesday.
βI heard the officer say βthat ainβt shitβ.β
NASHVILLE β ICE shatter a car window in front of a newborn, refuse to look at manβs license & work visaβ¦ drag him out of his car, hit him, mock him for being Guatemalan (heβs from Mexico), laugh when he begs to say goodbye.
Andrea Pitzer wrote βOne Long Night: A Global History of Concentration Campsβ
This is how she describes ICE detention centers
βThe..pre-death camp..Nazi concentration camp..we are very much mimicking that. And if they get all the beds that they have funding for, weβll..approach the Soviet gulagβ
The most disturbing part is knowing ICE left a little girl alone and didnβt care.
Annabella was six years old when her dad was detained by ICE while he was picking up their food order. She stayed inside, waiting.
He never returned to her that day.

When oligarchs talk of βpersonal liberties and free marketsβ they mean their own liberties to become even richer and more powerful.
When oligarchs speak of βfreedom,β what they actually seek is freedom from accountability.
Know the truth.
OOOOOOOOH
What a fucking dummy
New: A comedian set up a fake ICE tip line as a joke. Then 100 calls flooded in: neighbors ratting on neighbors, a teacher reporting a kindergartener. Fans say the viral TikToks revealed deportation's "banality of evil." Conservatives say he should be in prison wapo.st/4kM4qbF
Think of all the money brought in by those illegal tariffs as an enormous CAVA bag stuffed with cash.
They will deny it ever existed. And you will never see a penny of it.
Itβs an oddball far-right former academic turned GBNews presenter facing allegations of sexual harassment or a hard working Plumber and gas engineer, marathon runner, housemate to four rescued greyhounds and leader of the Greens on Trafford Council.
This isnβt difficult Gorton & Denton.
New Mexico officials are reopening the investigation at Epsteinβs Zorro Ranch.
Letβs be clear: theyβre investigating claims that girls may have been murdered and buried there. Itβs a crime scene and should have been taken seriously years ago.
Instead, here we are. Looking at a cold case.
Aww Iβm sorry, did someone bust some windows of the incoming concentration camp?
Exactly
What happens when people vote in Russia? Or Hungary? Or Turkey?
Please learn because thatβs what is happening here.
Itβs amazing what little crumb of hope people will cling to when weβre already living in authoritarianism. The SCOTUS ruling isnβt a βloss for Trumpβ. He made $4 billion in the last 13 months. Stop being manipulated.
"It's great news. Politicians heard VPN users' worries and fears in Wisconsin, how a ban just wouldn't work, and removed that section," EFFβs Rin Alajaji told @techradar.com, but βthe bill is still very problematic even without the VPN provision." www.techradar.com/vpn/vpn-pri...
The thing is....
This would not just be another mp who wants public services, it sends a message to starmer, saying
STOP
Stop aping reform
Stop moving right
The billionaires arent in total control
The biggest battle is to save the nhs.
If you don't want to keep having this fight for the rest of your life, and your children's lives, until the planet boils and forces the issue, you need to understand that the entire system MUST fundamentally change.
