Optometrist asks me what I do and then interrupts me as I answer, two words in - his son has a doctorate in biochem and has trouble getting an university job because of DEI. Uh yeah, if that apple fell close to this tree, gonna say that is not why…

yeah man, trans reporters, whom the ny times derogatorily calls "trans activists" so that normies won't listen to them, have been reporting on ADF activity in the UK since 2018.

bigotry in journalism makes you late to the story.

Salmon chowder, full of vegetables, veggie stock, started with mirepoix. Totally satisfying on a colder day. Would be good even without the salmon but oh so good with (shellfish allergy house).

Andry HernΓ‘ndez’s life after leaving Bukele’s terror prison: β€˜Our bodies are free, but our minds are still there’ The Venezuelan stylist, one of the 252 men deported by the United States to a third nation for the first time, is trying to rebuild his life after four months of detention

I have a great idea for someone who can win the Nobel Peace Prize: Andry JosΓ© HernΓ‘ndez Romero, the gay Venezuelan asylum seeker sent by the United States to an El Salvadoran torture prison for 125 days, with no due process, & who, afterwards, epitomized grace.

Merrymac isn't a random social media account that I'm friendly with - I am a board member and volunteer. I'm physically there on the property almost every day so I can vouch for the quality of care they provide. It's a beautiful place where every animal is treated with so much love. ❀️

Broadview, Illinois todayβ€”

A dizzying array of federal and local police quashed an anti-deportation protest outside the Chicago ICE "processing" facility. Border Patrol agents once again violently attacked protesters, with arrest and crowd control support from IL state troopers.

IMO if you are over 60, moving to places like Florida is probably the worst choice. Large groups of unvaccinated kids will lead to so many more outbreaks chalkenging older immune systems. That and their healthcare infrastructure is cracked…
