It's long past time for state and federal authorities alike to put an end to Stephen Miller's jerkoff fantasy of masked thugs kidnapping people of color off the street with impunity.

Yes, there are Americans who want this. But they are a woefully small minority. Why are we still letting it happen?

I remember seeing Obama with 80k people by Hawthorne Bridge in 2008, but that was a generational event. This is getting close!

It's like this exchange yesterday. HuffPost asked the White House who suggested Budapest as the location for President Trump and President Putinโ€™s next summit.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt replied:

โ€œYour mom did.โ€

The internet rabbit hole this post took me down made me learn that "Orlรฉans" derives from "Aurelian." Now maybe I should find and read this book.

St Louis was the worst example overall, and contributed to population falling from 800k to 300k since 1950

Vancouver BC is the only American city I can think of. It's not a Canadian thing per se because Toronto was like yes please, make it larger.

I don't think I understood a single word of this but it sounds cyberpunk and I fully support that.

I live in the John Hancock Center and all summer we watch wasps carry away the large spiders that weave their webs in the upper windows. It's a terrible fate, but no worse I suppose than the one the spiders met out to their prey.

I don't understand giving AI credentials touch anything in production. But I think this was a pilot product and "production" was a more fuzzy definition than "millions of active users"

If the goal is deportation why are we building concentration camps. Who are they for?

Any law that declares 11 million people living, working, raising families, and paying taxes "illegal" and deserving to be sent to concentration camps is genocidal and inherently a crime against humanity.
