Yes, but it can also just mean โ€œour way of lifeโ€ -he speaks with authenticity about being part of a community that is struggling because the oligarchs have rigged the game. He sounds like someone who doesnโ€™t focus group every sentence before it comes out of his mouth.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

Not trying to be an asshole, and I donโ€™t know your location so wonโ€™t judge you for not knowing this, but you can start a small oyster farm for well under 10k. Itโ€™s closer to fishing than to farming on land.

In just four counties in Central Texas--Hayes, Williamson, Bexar, and Kerr--700,000 people voted for Vice President Harris.

Just those four counties had more votes for VP Harris than the total votes for her in 14 states and D.C.

I understand you're angry, but that anger is very misplaced.

I can't tell if it's because I'm too NYC focused but does it feel like the news cycle spent more time crashing out on the fact that NYC picked a brown Muslim dude as is primary candidate then it did on a right wing extremist who shot 2 Minnesota legislators killing one, her husband and dog?

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation Iโ€™ve seen. It โ€˜s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

Family and lawyers โ€˜exhaustedโ€™ as ICE shuffles loved ones in and out of Maine Advocates say immigration officials are moving people detained in Maine far from the state, making it hard for their loved ones to keep up.

ICE detainees are being moved between local jails and prisons, many ending up thousands of miles away, often moved without notice.
Some immigration advocates and attorneys worry the transfers are a tactic to separate them from their clients and sabotage their cases.

Image is a comic titled โ€œWhy itโ€™s hard to switch tasks (Letโ€™s call it Tendril Theory).โ€ Simple line drawings illustrate the following text:

When Iโ€™m focused on something / My mind sends out a million tendrils of thought / Expands into all of the thoughts & feelings / When I need to switch tasks / I must retract all of the tendrils of my mind / This takes some time / Eventually I can shift to the new task / But when I am interrupted or must switch abruptly / It feels like all of the tendrils are being ripped out / Thatโ€™s why I donโ€™t react well / Please just give me time / To switch tasks when Iโ€™m ready.

ICE turned back in Somerville

So many Somerville community members came out that ICE simply retreated. Nonviolent resistance works when communities come together to protect kids and families.

MUST WATCH: ICE kidnapped a disabled American citizen.

Her name is Alma Bowman. Born in the Philippines while her dad served in the U.S. Navy.

Sheโ€™s lived here 48 years.
They crashed her wheelchair, denied meds, cut her off from her lawyerโ€”and jailed her.

She. Is. A. Citizen.

Itโ€™s really comforting that as food skyrockets in price, your neighbors are disappeared by masked goons, and people die en masse of preventable illness, Republicans and Democrats can come together and say: fuck this one trans teenager in particular for trying to run track with her friends
