Must read, ballroom my ass. I lived in the DC area for decades, knowing some of these contractors and black ops all over the area, this makes complete sense. Dig in the wrong spot, hit a mystery cable and a dozen black SUVs show up. All hidden out in the open.

Sniffs 🤧 Feeling rather woe is me. Been in bed all day full of a cold & throat so sore I can barely speak.

Would appreciate soothing cute cat, goat, duck pics & clips & mellow music.

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

UK migration could be negative this year – how will that hit the economy? Universities, builders and health trusts are feeling the squeeze, as thinktank says effect of zero net migration could be similar to Brexit

Farage has had politicians tying themselves in knots to get immigration numbers down, but here's the truth:

Low immigration, especially if combined with relatively high emigration, spells death for the economy.

This matters because London has among the lowest vaccination rates for measles in England - there are many pockets of unvaccinated communities that could be at significant risk from a runaway outbreak:

New archbishop of Westminster urges greater understanding of struggles of ‘the vulnerable’ At his official installation, Archbishop Richard Moth recognised the Catholic church’s failures but insists it’s a time of ‘opportunity’

Feels strange, as an atheist, to so often feel grateful for the influence of the Catholic Church and Church of England. But, in a society running morally rogue, I am.

People who did not speak Spanish and have never been to Puerto Rico saw that elderly woman serving a drink and the kids dancing with their grandmas... There's room for everybody here. That I think is where we win."

The SAVE Act takes it to a whole new level! No passport, produce your birth certificate to register to vote. Oh & by the way we've got a case pending before SCOTUS to end birthright citizenship - so even your birth certificate may not count as proof of citizenship.

Given the toxicity of social media, a moral question now faces all of us: is it still ethical to use it? | Frances Ryan With so many platforms rife with racism, misogyny and far-right rhetoric, there must be a point where decent people walk away, says Guardian columnist Frances Ryan

“If Starmer wishes to show his government’s disdain for sexual abuse or the far right, logging off X would be a good start. Public opinion of politicians is in the gutter. It seems unlikely that it will improve by them tweeting from it”
