Settled in Ann Arbor after a spell in Chicago. Working to become an expert listener. Raising curious humans. Finding sparks of joy in nature, cycling, music, art, and smiles.

Tech oligarchs oppose the idea of any supposedly undeserving person getting financial help from the government in 2025. But they want you to believe they’ll give *everyone* free money in the future.
It doesn’t make any sense, but it’s the techno-utopian lie they will keep selling.

So this phrase “able-bodied” has clearly been on the most recent list of R talking points. It comes from the first round of English labor laws, which were instituted after the Black Death.
A mini medieval story time!

It just occurred to me that Trump's denial of Medicaid for many of his cult followers will leave them without legitimate medical coverage & they will resort to "wellness" scammers- those who wouldn't qualify for Medicaid payments. The snake oil salesmen figure to benefit more than anyone here.

ICE *already* can't meet their detainment numbers without rounding up children, veterans, people born in the U.S., people with no criminal records, people at immigration hearings, plus academics and visitors with valid visas.
So who do they plan to detain with >10x the budget?
The answer is: you.
So who do they plan to detain with >10x the budget?
The answer is: you.
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.

Not really been into it before now, but today I’ve started thinking about studying to become a powerful witch. I desperately want to cast a mass curse on those people who find it a worthwhile use of their time to terrorize and harm trans children.

Keep sharing. There are many angles in this one due to all the neighbors, mostly women, who stepped out to support this family. A few Bible verses come to mind for their efforts, in fact.
Massachusetts neighbors tried to stop ICE from ripping away a mother who was with two children, including a newborn baby.
The agents had no warrant.
Those who want “illegals” to uphold the law should start by upholding it themselves.
This is vile, cruel, and unforgivable. Period.

The state of the union is that the President is spitting in the face of the law.
He is letting an unelected billionaire fire cancer researchers and wreck federal agencies like the Social Security Administration at will.
I won't be attending tomorrow's Joint Address.

The president just implemented one of the largest mass layoffs in American history – potentially 200,000 people in a single day – and democrats are not on the floors of Congress right now doing anything about it because they called it a day early to go drinking with Republicans in Berlin instead.
