The federal government is just disappearing children.
These 2 kids detained last week were brought back to MN today. But school officials say many others from the Columbia Heights district are missing. They're not sure if they're in ICE detention or have moved away with their families. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

That’s something I was surprised by & wrong about. I was rooting for him in the primary because there was no way he could possibly win the general. I underestimated the malignant tendencies at play in the US electorate. And I wouldn’t have thought my historical view to have been rosy.

…Then we had a global pandemic. And I didn’t really need a car so much anymore, since I wasn’t working. The plan had sort of been to get an EV and kit the house out with residential solar at the same time. Life got in the way.

I see that land use is the next section. I note that he’s already commented on ethanol, which has always seemed pretty sketchy to me. I have less immediate feeling of need for residential solar since I never got an EV. I had an appointment to go to a different state to look at a Hyundai Kona EV…

I understand that he thinks it should be done at scale rather than individually. But I’m still intrigued about the idea that it could be both. The fact that I get frequent power outages that don’t always get fixed quickly might feed into that. I’ve watched a little more. I’ll definitely finish it…

A lot of religious persecution. Either to get away from it or to start some more of it. One fleeing an induced famine. One sentenced to Transport. One indigenous. One eventually most likely traces back to a slave ship. The Mormons weirdly didn’t have good genealogy records on those last two…
