If you're using Amazon Affiliates you may have noticed that some books, specifically erotic and erotic romance titles, are no longer eligible for affiliate income.

They raided the jailed children to steal their letters.

The problem, in federal officials' minds, wasn't confining children in prison-camp conditions; it was that the children could tell the public about it.
“I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.”

- 7 year old imprisoned by ICE for 70 days in a concentration camp in Texas.

Today, after @propublica.org published this story, the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children.

So we don’t tax them but that’s ok because they employ people and give to charity, except they’re locked in on ways to avoid employing people and they don’t give to charity.
pretty stunning chart

Just a reminder for folks not in Minnesota . . . we still need help. Also there are things you can do to prepare your community in case this fuckery comes where you are (or just because they're good things to do).
Want to help people in Minnesota? The best place to start is: www.standwithminnesota.com

You can donate money to people who need it, donate airline miles, send supportive messages, & read about other things to do to help or prepare your own community:

Public comment on Dr Oz's proposed rules to ban gender-affirming care for youth closes 2/17

One rule bans hospital-based care, the other eliminates Medicaid/CHIP coverage

Together they'd make care virtually unavailable nationwide, including in shield law states

It’s not about whether you personally like or dislike remote work - it’s about executives trying to strip options, jobs & rights away from *everybody*.

Working remotely is not just a better setup for many disciplines: it allows teams to include different people w/ different strengths & experiences.

Why are all the US media using words like "revoke" and repeal"? They mean nothing in this context. Why not "refuse to accept", "deny", or "lie about"?

NEW: The Trump admin certainly put on a show last week about changing tactics in Minnesota after ICE agents killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old VA nurse.

Trump even suggested it's time for "a softer touch."

Except residents say nothing has changed. At all. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-mi...

Two weeks after Alex Pretti’s killing, federal agents have shown no signs of backing down. The resistance definitely hasn't.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that with Britta Curl on the U.S. Hockey Team, J.D. Vance & Marco Rubio are at the game sitting with the Lamoureux twins, who are noted transphobes and aligned with Curl wrt to their anti-trans advocacy in sport. Happy Olympics!

again we do not really do a good job of explaining how wealthy people like Jeff Bezos are

his net worth is $253.2 billion.
so he could take one million dollars, and just light it on fire
and then do it again tomorrow
and again the day after that
and then do it every day for 693 years and 8 months
