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 🧡

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.

Don't watch The State of the Union tomorrow.

Donald cares more about his ratings than whether Barron gets leukemia.

The hidden ICE blueprint that should horrify every American | Will Bunch An internal Department of Homeland Security document shows how ICE plans to cram thousands of detained human beings inside a Georgia warehouse.

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

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.

β€œI heard the officer say β€˜that ain’t shit’.”

NASHVILLE β€” ICE shatter a car window in front of a newborn, refuse to look at man’s license & work visa… drag him out of his car, hit him, mock him for being Guatemalan (he’s from Mexico), laugh when he begs to say goodbye.

Andrea Pitzer wrote β€œOne Long Night: A Global History of Concentration Camps”

This is how she describes ICE detention centers

β€œThe..pre-death camp..Nazi concentration camp..we are very much mimicking that. And if they get all the beds that they have funding for, we’ll..approach the Soviet gulag”

The most disturbing part is knowing ICE left a little girl alone and didn’t 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 β€œpersonal liberties and free markets” they mean their own liberties to become even richer and more powerful.

When oligarchs speak of β€œfreedom,” what they actually seek is freedom from accountability.

Know the truth.

A fake ICE tip line reveals neighbors reporting neighbors A Nashville comedian’s deportation hotline, set up as a joke, has gone viral among viewers who say it shows the β€œbanality of evil personified” in the U.S. immigration crackdown.

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.

It’s 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 isn’t difficult Gorton & Denton.

New Mexico officials are reopening the investigation at Epstein’s Zorro Ranch.

Let’s be clear: they’re investigating claims that girls may have been murdered and buried there. It’s a crime scene and should have been taken seriously years ago.

Instead, here we are. Looking at a cold case.

It’s amazing what little crumb of hope people will cling to when we’re already living in authoritarianism. The SCOTUS ruling isn’t a β€œloss for Trump”. He made $4 billion in the last 13 months. Stop being manipulated.

Wisconsin scraps VPN ban from age verification bill following backlash But problems with the proposals remain, experts warn

"It's great news. Politicians heard VPN users' worries and fears in Wisconsin, how a ban just wouldn't work, and removed that section," EFF’s Rin Alajaji told @techradar.com, but β€œthe 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.
