Not afraid of saying the quiet part out loud. All elections are important. https://ballotpedia.org/Elections_calendar. A person who builds their empire on deception will one day be buried beneath it.

Venerable magazine Harper's Bazaar is running its short story contest again, with the winner receiving "the chance" of publication in the magazine. Just one catch: per the wording of the guidelines, _just by entering_ you transfer copyright ownership of your story to Harper's parent, Hearst. 1/3

As an immunocompromised cancer survivor, the riskiest things I do are go for my 6 annual cancer surveillance appointments in crowded medical offices full of unmasked patients and staff. I should not have to risk death by respiratory illness in order to not die of cancer, but the system is failing us
On world cancer day, thinking of all the patients who will go to chemo today facing unmasked hospital staff. And who will suffer hospital-acquired infections and even die due to the lack of airborne mitigations 💔

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

I have an idea. How about instead of punishing people who have trans children, we execute child rapists. We have a list.

If you’re exploring non-US search engines:

DuckDuckGo is American too.

Ecosia is German but built on U.S. crawlers.

Mojeek is British with its own crawler.

Fireball adds another German crawler to the mix.

There are more options. Indie search is bigger than people think. #EndOligarchy #Trump
“The main event is this: the world is building optionality away from U.S. policy and platform dependence. And once you see it, you can’t unsee it — because it’s showing up in procurement decisions, supply chains, defense budgets, and capital flows”
Europe just started building a ‘kill switch’ for U.S. tech — and the market isn’t priced for it, says this strategist — MarketWatch
Zoom and Microsoft are among those companies that could lose business, says Matthew Tuttle

Here’s a thought. If someone’s vote is not counted, they do not need to pay taxes for the duration until the next vote. Your vote for president was not counted- no taxes for four years….

I was able to get a second passport through a great grandparent nearly 15 years ago. There are several benefits to having a second passport, but as a history major, one particularly stood out. I’d have “papers”. I thought how many Jews would be alive today if the had additional “papers”.
A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.
