I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

🕊️ Today marks the Day of #Remembrance for All Victims of Chemical Warfare.
 
We pause to remember those we have lost to #ChemicalWeapons, and rededicate ourselves to achieving a world free from the threat and use of these inhumane weapons.

I'm pretty much giving up on the app formerly known as Twitter. It has really been degraded as a way to keep up with informed discourse, and I don't want to be an unpaid content provide for Musk. Will start posting wonkery here, maybe also on Threads

Understanding the gender pay gap is the very first step to address it.
