I’m cited in this article explaining why you can’t support 9/11 responders and mock people with long covid. I’ve got both illnesses and they are connected!

Conservative campus groups didn’t just “show up” in the 1960s. They were funded, mentored, and trained to counter student movements and build a pipeline into power.

The descendants of immigrants who conveniently “forget” how their immigrant forbears “got over” are disgraceful.
And for the record, Mr. Martini, the Italian immigrant who Mr. Potter disgustingly disparaged as a “garlic eater,” and who received a chance for a decent home from the Bailey Business& Loan, is essentially the stand-in for the forbears of ppl like ICE enforcer Greg Bovino (Italian-American).

In 1929, when capitalism collapsed, American workers didn’t go right — they went left.

Most underrated Biden admin mistake was bailing out Silicon Valley Bank.

SVB bet big on low interest rates and lost. Rich tech VCs who put too many eggs in that basket generated a bank run, then called for govt money.

Got their bailout, helped elect Trump, and now reaping rewards from corruption.
David Sacks, presumably, on the push by some in the tech and VC world to fund a primary challenge to Congressman Khanna.

Imagine watching Sinatra, son of Dolly & Antonini born in Genoa & Sicily, respectively, and Martin, son of Gaetano & Angela, born in Montesilvano, Italy & Ohio respectively, (Angela to parents born in Monasterolo, Italy), and crusading against the value of children of immigrants to the U.S.

Seems there is yet another app using the ICEBlock logo and charging people for access. It’s called ICEBlocker and it is not us.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD or pay. Best we can tell is it’s Russian.

We would never ask for money.

it's crazy that 500 years ago, you would see the ruler of your country maybe once in your life and hear whispers that they're the Sun God, but now with social media, you get to see on a daily basis that they're the most unhinged, idiotic, and unhappy person you know

Biden Harris admin or Christopher Wray? He was the head of the FBI appointed by Trump. He & the DOJ didn’t act. Biden supposedly kept his distance from DOJ.
The Biden/Harris administration had the info about Epstein's 10 uncharged co-conspirators and we didn't hear a word about it.

After buying it for $18.8 billion, Walgreens' new private equity owner has eliminated paid holidays for all hourly workers on Christmas and New Year's.

Last year, Walgreens had a CEO-to-Worker pay gap of 410 to 1.

I see there’s a post about microplastics going around with a photo of drinking straws, so here is my semi-regular reminder that the 3 biggest sources of microplastics are tires (45%), synthetic clothing particles (35%) and paint (~10%).
Lay article attached:
One of the biggest microplastic pollution sources isn’t straws or grocery bags – it’s your tires
Every few years, the tires on your car wear thin and need to be replaced. But where does that lost tire material go? The answer, unfortunately, is often waterways, where the tiny microplastic particle...
