They just don't want anyone traveling to the US for any reason at all
It's not just social media. Looks like visitors to the US from Europe and other countries that are part of the visa waiver program will have to submit an enormous amount of data about themselves and their families, including DNA, if proposed new rules are accepted

Confession: I hate the gifts part of Christmas. But everyone I love, loves gifts. I can't opt out without them feeling unloved. It stresses me out every year.

The last few times my boss has dropped by the branch, he's asked if I'm ok, because I look tired. I finally realized he asks that on days when I haven't put on lipstick. Apparently I look tired without it.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.
That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.
Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Today I feel hopeful. Like fall is going to fix things. I can't explain that, it's just what's in my heart. Hang on, autumn's coming, it will all be okay. So.

The 19th Amendment was ratified on this day in 1920, barring voting discrimination based on sex. But for women of color, the right to vote wasn’t fully realized until the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
105 years later, we're still fighting for equal ballot access for all.

They have downgraded her sex offender status to move her to a minimum security facility. The next logical step is a commutation or a pardon. If you have any information on that, my Signal is in my bio. I'll keep you anonymous as always. Please share widely 🙏 www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...
EXCLUSIVE: Someone Waived Ghislaine Maxwell's Sex Offender Status to Move Her to a Minimum Security Camp in Texas
According to sources, you can't move someone with a Public Safety Factor (PSF) designation - which Maxwell had - without waiving it. That's what happened here.

Just a thought: if birthright citizenship is no longer a thing, then are naturalized citizens the only citizens? Maybe also those given citizenship under a treaty?

Dear patron: I appreciate that when you pooped in the bathroom trash can, you at least kept it inside the bag, so I could clean it up more easily. That's consideration right there. 🙄
