Really enjoyed chatting more with @tressiemcphd.bsky.social about how the federal government is weaponizing private data. Privacy has become a life-and-death issue, and I have a plan to rein the government in. Thread:

This is so sad, no more Lloyd Center? I started going there when I was a kid.
OTOH, it's been at least a few years since I was there last.

Here's the concept for the new Lloyd Center. We also now know the main mall will shut down at some point this year, and yes, the whole thing is slated for demolition, including the ice rink:
‘Save Lloyd’ pushes back as owners move forward with teardown of mall and its ice rink
The master plan dedicates about 23% of the Lloyd Center redevelopment for courtyards, plazas and green space, including a 2.3‑acre urban park.

I voted NO on today’s spending package. I won’t vote to give another cent to ICE while they keep terrorizing our communities and violating our rights.

Epstein Files: “Some suggested the Clintons ‘caved’ to Congress’ demands. More likely they’ve set a precedent that requires people with far stronger linkage to Epstein—& their wives—to testify. If they don’t, the GOP-led investigation in Congress will face claims that it’s trying to hide the truth”
