Over and over again, we have seen DHS's playbook: shoot, lie, criminalize. And every time, they are caught red-handed in their deception.
DHS was built as a weapon to be pointed at anyone the government considers the public enemy or a "domestic terrorist." We have to dismantle DHS.

Mannnnnnnn fuck the IL DMV.
First of all, making me set an online appointment is utter bullshit.
Second, organizing the appointment website this way is utterly batshit. Oh, there's no appointments in my area? I guess I'll just, what, ride my bike to Alton, IL so I can get my license renewed?

I'm worried that the broader public isn't really understanding the Epstein Files. The problem isn't that everyone in the files is a secret pedophile, it's that all the people are corresponding with him because they *don't care that he's a pedophile*. It's a story of elite impunity.
You can look at the Epstein files and conclude that only bad people have billions of dollars, but I think it’s also possible that having billions of dollars cauterizes your humanity

It's very important to always sound out the first three letters in the name LED Zeppelin as if they stand for light emitting diode.

It's interesting to look at how Epstein directly, via hundreds of thousands of emails with his pedo buddies in academia, made US academia incredibly hostile to women for *decades*.
How many Emma Noethers never were, even before any of it was put into legislation?

Fellow USAian apartment renters, is it ever a good idea to buy your own appliances?
My fridge is ancient as the hills, and louder than I can tolerate anymore.
Spending half a month's rent to switch it out for a newer, quieter (but no better) model seems... Reasonable? ? ?

Vacancy tax NOW I fucking hate how many empty storefronts are in the neighborhood because landlords would rather keep prices high than knock rent down $100.

ICE “left” Chicago in November, but they’ve disappeared three people from my community in two days this week.
Don’t believe the hype about them, leaving Minnesota, either.
