We now have names and addresses of 23956 so called ICE agents. 4220 of them we have also identified being members of Proud Boys, Oath Keepers and serveral militias. We have also registered 132 persons in ICE who are pardoned J6 insurrectionists. All of them will be held accountable for their crimes!

ELECTION RESULT: A team of city council members in Rolla, Missouri, have been pushing anti-LGTB policies, including a ban on drag shows and book censorship.
Voters just ousted all three of these city councilors who were running for reelection, backing candidates backed by a local LGBT group.

Does it help if I say that it’s actually because trans existence challenges the bioessentialism that supports their white nationalist aspirations?
I try not to be overly fatalistic... but I kinda think the country is collapsing bc Ivy League educated columnists for NYT and the Atlantic found pronoun circles mildly annoying.

Elon Musk paid less for the United States government than he did for Twitter. Remarkable how low the bidding was.

Happy to see you all here.
Given this, and that the fact checking has been shite at best, I expect even more of an exodus.

Happy New Year! This year all Medicare plans will include a $2,000 cap on what you pay out-of-pocket for prescription drugs covered by your plan. This is thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act. Pass it on

The black line is how much a 64-yr old couple earning $90K/yr has to pay per month for the benchmark #ACA policy in 2025.
The blue bars are how much they'd have to pay in 2026 if the IRA subsidies are allowed to expire.
I'm only halfway through the states.

Debt Collective members, mostly in their 60s and 70s, are begging Biden and the Secretary of Education to cancel their student loans before it's too late. These folks have more than paid off the original principal, but they remain stuck in a debt trap. Listen to some of their stories here 👇🏽

But a little-known provision gives Joe Biden the authority to cancel student debt for aging borrowers — and they’re calling on him to use it.
