You're "just not that into politics?"
Your boss is.
Your landlord is.
Your insurance company is.
And every day they use their political power to keep your pay low, raise your rent, and deny you coverage.
It's time to get into politics.

Nicholas Galanin and Margarita Cabrero said the decision to make the event private is a form of silencing participants amid Trump’s attacks on the institution.

Ha! Natch.
I think people are misinterpreting this wonky headline. The bombshell story CBS is reporting is that the Epstein jail tape the public got IS missing time and the FULL video exists. The FBI and DOJ have it. So when Bondi said the missing minute is normal, she lied. www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey...
There was no "missing minute" in the original Epstein jail video, government source says
FBI officials promised raw, unaltered video to quell speculation about Epstein's suicide.

If you're a legal immigrant with a court date, ICE is likely to pick you up after the hearing. If you don't go to the hearing, a judge can order ICE to pick you up.
Here's @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social with some great reporting on the Catch-22 Trump has made of our legal immigration system:

As Trump’s deportation gangs continue snatching people after scheduled court hearings, more are opting to stay home. But that comes with its own dangers.

90 days. That's how long we have until close to 20 million households get notices that their health insurance is going up, way up, by an average of more than 75%.
Even those without ACA subsidies will see the raw cost of insurance up around 15%.

I don't understand rich people who spend their money on yachts and partying. If I had the time and the money I'd spend it on classes to learn to sing, draw, paint, weave, make pottery, carve wood, all the random skills I do not currently have. Become a true renaissance man. That's the real flex.
