“ICE gets a bigger budget than the Marine Corps” is a simple fact that should be communicated very widely because it clearly expresses how crazy and radical this is
With this budget, ICE alone would have nearly as large a detention operation as all 50 states' prison systems combined. Bigger budget than the Marine Corps. Police-state levels of spending
If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:

- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
- Billions more.

This video from @hankgreen.bsky.social is a great metaphor and description of what I think has happened to the Internet, and our overall "consumption" of information, no matter how nutritious or empty the calories of information we consume are.

It’s easier to work and spend than it is to be horrified.

MAGA and the idiot savants of tech talk about the risk population collapse while they advocate for mass deportation. It’s almost like they are elitist,
racist, eugenicist, rapist twats. But I’m sure I just don’t understand.

Am I the only one that hates these guys?

The Weather Station last night in SF was a great show. Loved Tamara’s observation about SF: “How can a place surrounded by so much natural beauty be so focused on taking people away from reality and connection?”

There’s a lot of money in contaminated foods. Selling it and treating the illness it causes. It’s really a win-win.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

Which of these signs would you expect to be better at grabbing the attention of fast moving vehicles and why do you insist on buying the one on the left anyway?

Can we all just agree that Oprah has been a net negative for this country? Dr. Oz? Dr. Phil? And now Dr. Evil’s cock rocket? No. Not good.

It’s insane how many one way doors there are in TurboTax where once you answer a question it can have a huge impact and there’s no way to go back or understand wtf it just did. You basically just have to start all over again. After all these years you still can’t fix this shit?

This is what it looks like when a petulant toddler is allowed to run a global economy. Congress can put an end to this madness.

BREAKING: 60 Minutes just exposed the lie. Over 75% of those deported to El Salvador’s mega-prison are innocent. No crimes. No charges. No justice. This is manufactured fear and state-sanctioned abuse.
