Raids are scheduled to start in Chicago next week. Spread this far and wide. Know your rights.
Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge).

You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

What @mcuban.bsky.social said!!!!!

As a medical professional, the things I could tell you about how foul it is dealing with #insurance would blow your damn mind.
The facts are, the ACA saved millions with pre-existing conditions and set standards for care.

But now, more than a decade later, with what we now know, it’s time to take the insurance companies out of the mix.
The subsidies they get are enormous. We don’t need them as middlemen.

Should we continue to encourage kids to go to college ? Or push them to take up a trade ?

I believe in college. Learning how to learn, IMO, is a critical life skill. Being exposed to people of different backgrounds, makes yiu wiser

Qualifier- it should be a school you can afford.

Today is a good day to decide to make a good Confession. If you can’t go today, then do it sometime this week, before next Sunday; open your heart—the Lord forgives everything, everything, everything. And so, in Mary’s hands, we will be happier.

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s
