Has Rubio forgotten how dependent Florida is on tourist and snowbirds? Do you know how many people from Canada come to Florida for the winter? This is insanity.
The State Department is proposing requiring applicants for business and tourist visas to post a bond of up to $15,000 to enter the United States, a move that may make the process unaffordable for many.

Hello I'm a knitter on a TV show ... I cannot knit. The dog in Wallace and Grommet is a more competent knitter than I am.
Hello, I am a lawyer on TV. At the morning staff meeting I am handed a “case file” consisting of a single Manila folder. That afternoon I am first chair in a full jury trial without benefit of discovery, pretrial conference, or motion practice.

If you're making a perfectly shot video of driving , while drinking coffee so you can say "I'm not invited "I may not be invited back but at least they know I'm not okay bringing politics into knitting and buying yarn from wherever I want" is in fact a politics statement. 🧶

🧵Just like optimisticsoap (IG) I’ve seen a wave of defeatism—“What elections?” “Why bother?” That hopelessness? It’s not wisdom. It’s surrender.
And it’s exactly what authoritarians want: for us to give up before the fight even starts.
Here’s how we push back—starting now: links in thread

We are watching the billionaire technofascists use their AI pets to rewrite history in front of our very eyes. Never assume AI is some kind of neutral tool. It is a fascist tool and anyone who doesn’t get this at this stage is a fool.

honestly does seem like the basic dynamic in american politics right now is that a critical number of voters treat Democrats like their (nagging) mom or their (bitch) wife and treat Republicans like the “cool” dad or husband who is at best a deadbeat
