I hope someone is tracking all the financial aid being provided for neighbors by neighbors

Because the past several I've opened in the past 24 hours were all fully funded (and they hadn't been up that long)

This is simply historic

Fuck you

Make me stop caring about my neighbors
Defiant compassion has a nice ring to it.
Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

Hilariously, this would perhaps be true and means none of the ROI pencils out for NVIDIA buyers
They are already wildly fudging depreciation

I wrote that "Minneapolis sometimes has the feel of a dystopia, with feds arresting and brutalizing citizens, seemingly with no real response from state authorities. As residents remind me all the time, 'No one is coming to save us.'" (4)

Living in Minnesota right now means getting your heart broken every day, multiple times a day. Some days it also means having your faith in humanity restored. Please keep watching Minnesota, if you live elsewhere. Things are still dire.

Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left.

It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.

Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.

Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.

Get them out!

“.. Our BTC price target is 0.0. That’s not just for shock factor. It’s where the math takes us,” the strategist said, noting that Bitcoin has failed to function as a dollar hedge and instead operates as “a speculative instrument correlated to the Nasdaq.”
