They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.
moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot.
one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

This was the topic of discussion at the nursing station last night... why hasn't federal min wage risen since I worked for it in my teens?
I AM OVER FORTY.

So apparently minimum wage would have to be $66/hour to match the home buying power of boomers making minimum wage in the 1970s

The first planned migration of an entire country due to climate change is happening! Tuvalu, a Pacific island nation, is at risk of being submerged under rising sea level, so it has signed an agreement with Australia to allow 280 Tuvaluans to settle in Australia as permanent residents each year.

There is literally NOTHING in the U.S. economy that is as good or better than it was eight months ago.
NOT ONE THING!
Everything is worse, most especially inflation.

You should listen to the international newsrooms trying to figure out their coverage - “if he bombs Iran.. but he if he doesn’t.. but what if he does before we have lunch. Can we have lunch?”

People despise how artistic courage highlights their own cowardice. Thus, crave the art, despise the artist.

felt compelled to look up ICE authority for warrantless arrests
if I'm reading this correctly, the circumstances under which ICE can arrest a citizen are basically limited to 'I literally saw you commit a felony and you're about to escape and no one's gonna be able to get a warrant'
this aint that
