ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Btw if you’re planning to get pregnant, check your varicella titers. Getting chickenpox while pregnant is very very dangerous (and if you got the vaccine, not the virus, as a child, your immunity might have waned)
This is a pro death march. People, especially kids, will get sick and some will die.

Daycare in NYC is more than $3k/month per kid, which is more than I pay for rent.
there's a lot to make fun of here but if you want to know why "universal pre-k" is such a big deal you should see the divide on the childcare bit between parents and non-parents
live in a major metro area? kids aren't in school yet and you gotta pay for preschool? the cost is truly unbelievable

I *think* the attempt to speedrun authoritarianism has failed. The new acute danger is greater political violence (Trump calling for hangings, etc). But the concerted danger is down the line, when MAGA realizes the bill for all this corruption will come due. www.offmessage.net/p/maga-disar...
