You lucky dog! I didn’t know your GGF was Canadian. Seems to mean that once you have it your kids could get it too?

This is a great game (and not so dystopian for cyberpunk, which I think everyone could use right now). Check it out!

The numbers are staggering:

Rent is now unaffordable for a record *half* of U.S. renters.

Some 30 million jobs pay less than $15 an hour. The average wage needed to afford a one-bedroom apartment has climbed to $28.17 — nearly four times the federal minimum wage, which hasn't gone up in 16 years.

So just to be clear: at the same time that we are running a roughly $1.8trillion deficit, the government is going to have to pay back something like $200bn in tariffs.

And this was the moment that they figured it was a great time to burn a billion dollars *a day* starting an optional war. 🤦‍♂️

Do you have (or know of) any articles, blogs, books, etc that discuss the art of questioning? Would love to learn more!

This is fire feminist critique/analysis of AI that doesn’t quite go in the direction you’d think it might.

Yoon Suk Yeol: South Korea's ex-president jailed for life over martial law attempt Yoon Suk Yeol's December 2024 martial law bid fundamentally damaged South Korea's democracy, a judge told the court.

Prince Andrew arrested over Epstein ties on the same day South Korea’s ex-president was jailed for life for attempting a coup.

Lord, I have seen what you’ve done for others 🙏🙏

I’m confused! Two separate games at the same time? Who thought that would be a good idea?

MAJOR: Twin Cities Tenants joins five labor unions, together repping 25,900 members, to launch a rent strike drive, vowing to withhold rent March 1 if @governorwalz.mn.gov fails to deliver an eviction moratorium and rent relief. If launched, this would be the largest US rent strike in 100+ years.

In fascist America, bank robs you.

In fascist America, the pharmaceutical industry regulates the government.

In fascist America, television watches you.

In fascist America, you sound like LLM.

Sesame Street - I Am Somebody YouTube video by LittleJerryFan92 *RETIRED CHANNEL*

I show this in almost every single class I teach to demonstrate the simple values behind the dignity of all people and how at odds our culture's norms are to the idea. I have cried over how hard it is to believe myself when I repeat after Rev. Jackson, "even if I make a mistake, I am somebody." RIP.

If you only read one thing today, let it be this. ICE is not in retreat. What we saw in Minnesota is going to spread everywhere. Get ready, friends. Take a training. Connect with your neighbors. Find out which groups are already doing prep work and volunteer. Lock arms and love on your community.

DHS is shutting down because it refuses to obey the law. They are tear-gassing schools, killing American citizens, and disappearing legal immigrants. Democrats shouldn’t fund an out of control ICE.

On Nov. 16, a mental health counselor recorded in Kamilla’s medical records that her mother reported the girl had lost her appetite after being “served food that contained worms.”

A week later, the couple said, children were told to gather in the gym for what they believed would be a Thanksgiving celebration. Excitement spread as families saw tables set with turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, they said. The children waited expectantly. But when a parent asked when the celebration would begin, Oksana said, staff told them the holiday meal was for employees, not detainees.

The children, she said, watched despondently as the feast was packed away.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

Imma try and keep this short, but this is what i think is importantly historically. The 1960s civil rights laws and decisions were not technically "new legislation." it was a restoration of what already was.

For example

It occurs to me that most of those healthcare jobs are at some level dependent on government spending through Medicaid, Medicare, etc. Yet another reason why cutting that or not talking about universal care is a bad idea.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Abolish ICE.

There’s no reforming it.

There’s no compromise.

There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.
