Thames Water dumped 29,000 Olympic Swimming pools worth of sewage, 3 every hour for a whole year, but they are rich so jail isn't even considered.

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ?
They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses.
That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue.
The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

The US DOT says it's planning to prioritize areas with high marriage & high birth rates for funding.
Our new analysis @urbaninstitute.bsky.social shows this would disproportionately fund:

Well, we aren’t a month in and we have the first concentration camp.
It’s worth noting that for years the Biden admin defended outdoor detention which laid the groundwork for this, but this is still likely going to be worse by a significant degree.
