Gaza
is not a breaking news headline,
nor just a statistic in the evening bulletin.

Gaza
is an open window despite the rubble,
a voice insisting on life
when the world thinks silence is easier.

Gaza does not ask for pity,
but for recognition:
that life here
still loves,
and is still worth living.

Russia carried out reconnaissance for yet another attack on Ukraine’s infrastructure and nuclear power plants, Zelenskyy said.

This is pressure through cold, darkness, and fear.
This is genocide by freezing.

This chart by @nathanielbullard.com is one reason data centers are driving up our electricity prices. Tech companies usually build data centers close to cities, where accommodating their GW-scale power demand entails costly reinforcement of wires or transformers. Utilities pass those costs on to us.

Where to start?
People in the UK opposing ethnic cleansing in Palestine, being rounded up and jailed?
Immigrants being rounded up in concentration camps in the US, regardless of legal status?
The only people who are safer in the US than in the UK are actual Nazis.

We must not forget Congress didn’t ban him from ever running again after January 6th.They were cowards and compromised by their dark oligarchy donors! We must not allow them to continue their reign over us!

I really don't like to say it, but it's time for all American allies to force close ALL American military bases in their respective countries. Maybe that would send a powerful enough message to the Felon in chief.

I've heard rumors that Philadelphia is next for the ICE invasion after Minneapolis.
Maybe I'm wrong, but
1) More than 11% of all ICE agents are in Minneapolis, and they've utterly failed to pacify the city.
2) Philly is 5x the size of Minneapolis.
3) "Minnesota nice" is a thing. We don't have that.

I want to state for the record that I don’t give a SHIT if someone is undocumented and have no interest in deporting ANYONE!

I would rather deal with the criminals under our laws, than to spend millions trying to deport people.

Deportation is expensive and cruel. And quite frankly, stupid.

The PEOPLE should decide who gets impeached.

Cuz Congress isn't representing and defending us well.

It needs to be US.

#ICE is murdering detainees in their custody. Not criminals, murderers, or gangsters, but just people looking for a better life.

I spent part of today sorting out what is going on with the Epstein Files. Why the delay? Why have the rolling productions stopped. And, what might a recent filing by Ghislaine Maxwell have to do with it.👀
