It’s the conclusions that killed me.

The Chicago real estate firm leasing an empty prison to ICE Highlands Real Estate Investment Trust looks to profit from President Trump's anti-immigrant agenda.

icymi: a small chicago real estate firm with two properties in evanston also owns a private prison in colorado—and it’s renting that prison to ice.

my look at highlands reit and flood of cash flowing to money-hungry capitalists that’s fueling the rise of fascism:

A digital drawing of author Maia Kobabe, a white nonbinary person with short brown hair wearing a patterned blue shirt, who scowls while holding up a copy of eir book GENDER QUEER: A MEMOIR. Maia is saying: H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban my books, and any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps and say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

It might help to know that TB is basically endemic in shelters, incarcerated spaces, and hospitals.

I've had several tech hiring managers and recruiters ask me what I'm doing with AI, and my work history is specialized technical support. AI wouldn't really help me beyond a couple of automated searches for CVEs.

She’s been released 🙏🏽

This one's personal. I'm posting it here because I cannot say it out loud.

Being active on X is unethical: • Enables abuse of women and children • Supports Musk and his weaponized X algorithm • Helps increase X valuation for future VC investment • Helps spread disinformation and hate • Amplifies network effects that cause people to stay and join • Endorses X as the credible platform that it isn't

Get off X please, and thank you 👇

Stop pre-negotiating. Stop telling voters they have to sacrifice minorities and the marginalized to have a chance of winning. Stop telling voters to settle, to not ask for everything, to be reasonable. Don't be reasonable. Demand the world. The world belongs to us. They don't have more right to it.

Plus they’re ugly as fuck.

One of the most painful things in recent months has been speaking with friends who rolled their eyes at these warnings and are now fully terrified for themselves and their kids. No-one wanted those warnings to be true, I get it. But ignoring them altogether, for years?…
We could have stopped this.

Still not clear if I am starting the job on the 9th as promised. I’ve had 4 companies tell me they’re hiring me only to ghost me. Seriously thinking about GFM I am so far behind in bills.

I don’t know why a doctor would tell you to drink kefir, but you could probably mix in stevia and unsweetened fruit purée.

I found the three beeps. It’s the scale failing to make a Bluetooth connection to my phone because my Omada benefits expired.

Idc "Team USA" is white people and they are not in the US that the song is about

This is how they steal our shit.
The song didn't apply to them

It's so cool that the fbi is basically the make a wish foundation for one podcaster

You’re missing the Juden Understood in his words.

I’m begging for a televised debate in that primary. I am just not sure it’s enough to convince online leftists and populists.

Sex Cheese is my new Soft Cell cover band.

I was going to give you some trivia about Alien Nation & Trek, but it's probably better if you find out as you watch Enterprise.
