People with lots of intersectional privileges need to stop telling those of us with fewer of them to calm down. Maybe the courts will stop some of this stuff. But our welfare isn’t exclusively about what laws do or don’t do. It is about how people who enjoy hurting us have been empowered.

In the interest of combatting misinformation ICE did not try to raid a Chicago school Friday. But the school staff did everything right if it HAD been ICE. I’m calling it a fire drill.

Reminder that the estimated cost of extending the Trump tax cuts is at least $5 trillion — more than twice the amount DOGE originally stated it would cut in “wasteful” government spending.
