what kind of stock trades do you think your senator has lined up for tomorrow morning? is that what they're working on tonight instead of figuring out how to get those teenagers out of the servers at the treasury?

Remember this day.
The last full day with a Democratic President.
We don’t know when or if we’ll ever live another day like this. 🥺

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge).
You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

Knowing that over half the voters wanted this… it’s really doing a number on me today. So just know: when I post about inconsequential things like paintings of dragons, I’m not ignoring the world around me. It’s 1) my job 2) a coping mechanism and 3)hopefully a source of enjoyment for you

The firefighter driving the dozer to create a fire line at the Hughes Fire must have balls of steel.
Glad to know they have air conditioning and air purifiers inside!

Hardly worth debunking this xenophobic garbage from Telegraph.
FWIW they seem to to have taken the (implausible) upper bound of @pewresearch.org's old, completely debunked estimate (1.2 m) and then assigning a % of those to London.
And then got London's actual population wrong!

Brilliant satirical cover from Private Eye, mocking spineless media organisations and journalists who submit and cower in the face of power 👏

Enjoyed his answers, he basically sees life & death like I do.
