You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.

Trump's Brownshirts
Trump is building a personal army, which will be eerily similar to Hitler's Brownshirts. However, America is still fast asleep.

Channel 4 News close to examplary this evening. It pains me to point out that some people working for the broadcast partner of Bari Weiss's CBS News, the BBC, could learn a lot from Matt Frei & Anushka Asthana. But I also wonder how much 'balance' we give to obvious liars, however powerful they are.

A manager overheard someone complain they spent ages on their appraisal document and still only got a 2. She explained the document just records the work.
Apparently the document is now doing the job for you.
She's going slightly cranky😂

Just read on Twitter that the latest pollster recording high polling votes for Reform was registered at exactly the same address as Reform. They quickly tried to change their address….. caught. This is why I don’t believe the Polls. They’re rigged to make you believe Reform are popular. They’re not

Decisions are best guesses. Most aren’t set in stone. Make the best call you can with the info you have, then revisit it. An imperfect decision usually beats no decision at all. What choice have you been putting off?

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

I’m “reading” three versions of the same book.
Started with the physical book. Loved the idea. None of it went in.
Switched to the audiobook- much better.
Then added the Kindle version so I can check the diagrams while listening.
Same content. Different formats. Apparently my brain has opinions.

I finally did it! I deleted my X accounts. Been meaning to do it for ages. The new terms of service were the nudge. Going to spend my time here. Engaging with decent people and more organic posts.

Spoke to a placement student who said her manager only gives negative feedback. She knew what *not* to do but had no idea what “good” looked like. We helped her find some next steps, but it was tough to hear. Remember: you generally get more of what you praise.
