Masked ICE agents, it seems, are now killing American citizens on American streets.

Any Democrat who doesn’t support abolishing ICE should be instantly primaried and run out of the party.

This is non negotiable. You cannot support the continued existence of this fascist murderous secret police.

A group of students at a New Mexico college (mostly) gave up their phones & computers for a week. What did they learn? “Most students said they had gotten to know themselves better without their phones butting in all day long.” [nytimes.com]
One Week Without Smartphones on a College Campus
A student-organized “tech fast” at St. John’s College thrust young people headfirst into a world of chalkboard-based communication. (On that note: Has anyone seen Eliza?)

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I'd rather be bored here than give Elon another micro-cent.
issuing a correction on my previous post describing Vichy Twitter as "the Nazi App," it is now also "the Nazi And CSAM App"
This does seem just a little bit bad! Idk the sort of thing you’d think politicians might distance themselves from or something!

2026 is about affordable homeownership. No more "policy" this year. Feed the local fauna, befriend them, and then use them to overpower homeowners so you can occupy their dwellings.
