It took me months, about 495 rides, recovering from a shattered right foot and hacking a folding scooter, but I finally own a Nintendo Switch 2 using points obtained from Citi Bike. Afterwards, it left me questioning the very nature of work. For @aftermath.site.

Abolish ICE.
There’s no reforming it.
There’s no compromise.
There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

Tokyo central finally opened in Emeryville and it’s so much better than I ever imagined. Packed to the gills with fresh fruits, veggies, and meats. Endless snacks and Asian staples. Mouth watering prepared foods. Best of all everything is very reasonably priced. I feel so lucky to live next door.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

The deputy White House chief of staff, Stephen Miller, called Pretti a “domestic terrorist” and an “assassin.” In fact, Pretti was a registered nurse working in intensive care at a Department of Veterans Affairs hospital.

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country.
As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.

And Minneapolis' Phillips neighborhood is named for Wendell Phillips, a fervent abolitionist. He was once asked why he couldn't turn down the heat in his rhetoric: why are do you always have to be so firery? Phillips' reply: "Yes, I'm on fire--becuase I have mountains of ice to melt!"

Last night, I was assaulted by a man at Sundance Festival who told me that Trump was going to deport me before he punched me in the face. He was heard screaming racist remarks as he drunkenly ran off. The individual was arrested and I am okay.

Alex Pretti was executed in Minneapolis this morning. Abolishing ICE is the bare minimum that we can do. We need to hold the individual agents and all of their leadership accountable. No government agency can ever have this much power to blatantly disregard the Constitution.

If you think this is just “online-radicalized protesters,” you’re not paying attention. People have seen the videos: folks dragged from cars, tear-gassed, kids pulled off the job.
Prosecutors are resigning, cops aren’t being investigated, and somehow the victims get labeled “terrorists.”

And this is why I will never refer to my husband as my "partner" - cops, lawyers, cowboys, and VCs have partners, I have a husband who I am gay married to. Don't try to erase me, words matter.
Don't forget that the "and her friend" is an intentional choice of words used to attempt to erase the existence of homosexual relationships.
Her "friend" was her lawfully wedded wife. A marriage that is still recognized in every one of these united states.
