IDK who needs to know this, but...

When you call one of Senator Adam Schiff's local CA offices and he starts droning on, wait until he says "I got a few options for ya" and hit THREE.

That transfers you to speak to a live human being instantly. (You might be put on hold, ofc).

Just press 3.

We cannot stop mass deportations without seriously reckoning with the American obsession with arrests and prosecutions.

i'm gonna repost that spread where the yawning, impossible gap between the wages a daycare worker earns in the bronx and a "consultants" fucking $17m annual hail every time someone on my timeline has a halfway decent burn on it. UBI, fair wages, eating the rich, a tout de suite por favor

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

Screenshot of four different jobs from the NY Mag feature about what people make in NYC:
"Home Health Aide
$23,000
I've been a home health aide for ten years. My main patient last year was in Brooklyn. I spent most of my time taking care of her. I worked two days a week, and I was being paid for 13 hours of work each day - my agency, Loyal Home Care, budgets eight hours of sleep and three hours for mealtimes into our wages. But I was basically working 24 hours a day. She was active, and I was worried she would fall, so I would watch her all day and night. This is a pretty common experience for health aides. The agency can deny our overtime, but you can't deny a patient. When they say, "Oh, I need a drink of water; I need to use the bathroom," how could you possibly say "no" to them?
Bronx Day-Care Worker
$31,000
$16,600 from day-care profits
$14,400 from trainings and consulting
Last year, I lost a lot of kids. I live in the Bronx, and a bunch of families in my neighborhood lost their child-care vouchers. We're talking about people who make as much as I do; most of the moms I work with are home health aides. They can't afford full-time child care. If I have 16 kids, I can pay myself for 40 hours of work. But last year, I didn't, and obviously I'm still doing the same amount of work. I've been running the day care out of my home for more than seven years. It's a profession I entered out of necessity and have stayed in out of passion. I pay for everything - food, cleaning supplies, toys - and we have to meet the same requirements as a large company in terms of paying for liability insurance, which can feel pointless in this industry. I mean, if something happens to one of my children, I lose my license. End of story."

It's all so clear

I’m not going to curate every major bombing, but suffice to say there is *widespread* bombing throughout the Middle East today. There are near constant reports on X of explosions in the region.

Israel is bombing Iran and Lebanon, and Iran is targeting multiple other countries.
