It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident.
We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.

Morning snow in St. Louis. Meaning plows don’t seem to have touched main roads in the city outside of interstates. Wonderful for those of us who don’t use interstates to get to work, but would still appreciate a safe commute. For a Midwestern city, we sure don’t act like one when it snows.

Maybe. Just maybe. They should spend the money on one of the things St. Louis citizens have voted on *checks notes* multiple times.
After hours of debate, aldermen had not advanced any of the plans, and some suggested they would delay action until the new session after elections in April.
Rams money deals collapse. After chaos, St. Louis aldermen do nothing

If you find that your uninformed personal opinion disagrees with expert consensus on a technical topic, please consider that “all the experts know something I don’t” is a much more likely explanation than “I alone solved a complex problem that all the world’s experts have long been studying.”

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square.
45² = 45 x 45 = 2025
Also,
9² x 5² = 2025
40² + 20² + 5² = 2025
My favourite?
1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025
