Hitting me hard. In Vienna my grandmother hid my mother from Russian soldiers known for raping and worse during the occupation, after the Nazis did the same in WWII. My grandfather had been forced to flee to Poland because he refused to join the Nazi party. He walked back a skeleton after the war.

Why POC collectively hold our breath when there’s a mass shooting or high profile crime before the suspect is even identified:
• Afghan man shoots a National Guard member:
With zero knowledge of the background or motive, the right screams that Muslims are terrorists and must be deported.

This is the correct take. Stewing in white supremacist propaganda is bad for your thinking. And if think you are so savvy that it won’t impact you, you are the exact kind of mark they are slowly converting (I’m looking at you, centrist pundits).
It’s really funny how a generation will roll its eyes at parents who watch Fox News but doesn’t see why being immersed in Twitter is having the same effect. Lots of serious people show up on Fox News too but that shouldn’t be your primary source on the news.

big late breaking news: the market monitor for the largest energy grid in the u.s., covering much of the midwest and mid-atlantic, has called to block new data centers connections to the grid, saying current course of growth assures regular blackouts
No more PJM data centers unless they can be reliably served: market monitor
The PJM Interconnection’s market monitor urged the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to rule that large data centers can only come online if the grid operator can still meet reliability metrics.

The US is deregulating banks. Will the rest of the world follow?
New rules will boost lending and profits and entrench American dominance. But critics say they could lead to another crash

Hebrews 13:2: "Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing so some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it"
For more the two decades, the African Community Center “has hosted a ‘First’ Thanksgiving to introduce refugees and other immigrants to the holiday and life in the United States, but the nonprofit believes it has hosted the annual feast for the last time as the Trump admin freezes resettlement …”

Many can’t afford to stay, or sell. With mass layoffs, negative job growth, it’s not looking good. I don’t think Trump pushing 50 yr mortgages is coincidence. I suspect desperate homeowners behind on mortgage payments, will be targeted by predatory companies convincing them to refinance for 50 yrs.
People are putting the brakes on moving, so they’re pulling their homes off the market.

A thing that doesn’t usually get mentioned whenever someone plays a clip of Bernie sanders saying trump secured the border is that if you look at even his most restrictionist 1990s platform it is extremely more generous than what the right proposes now, and would be called open borders amnesty…

The docs also reveal the number of hours the FBI devoted to the project, which required some agents to work nights and weekends. The FBI paid personnel $851,344 in overtime for working on the Epstein files between March 17 and March 22.
