A little math about that prison camp in Florida. $450 million per year for 3,000 people is $150,000/person per year.
The cost for one person receiving SNAP for one year is $2256, yet they're telling us that's too expensive.

As we near July 4, take a moment to re-read the 8th Amendment, which bars cruel and unusual punishment.
Then read the harrowing court filing from Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
Our country has lost its way.

Crockett: How is it that you can explain that we still are running up the credit card and we have nothing to show for it except for the fact that we won't have food on the tables and we won’t have health care.

Yes, calling your Members of Congress still matters.

Tell your GOP representative to vote NO on Trump’s Tax Scam: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Or send an email if you can’t get anyone on the phone: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-cutt...

Get this: Republicans voted NO to protect Medicaid funding for addiction treatment.

If you’re battling addiction, Republicans are happy to throw you under the bus in order to give a billionaire another tax break.

It’s shameful.

So many of the 2A people claim that they need to carry to keep the government from rising up against the people. Given that that’s happening, I can see why that would be your instinct. I’m 46 and I’ve been hearing that rhetoric my whole life. Just… yeah.

I totally would’ve worn a t-shirt with a picture of Biden eating an ice cream cone with the word DADDY on it. Or at least considered it, for the joke.

Ive been thinking about that too β€” how not publishing something doesn’t make it any less meaningful or real.

Highway at night as seen through car windshield. Above the highway, in the sky, is a pin-straight string of lights.

Driving west on I-10 in Florida. I look up and see this sting of lights. Husband says it’s Starlink. It’s eerie and beautiful. We’re in the future now. I don’t think we’re ready.

If you think COVID vaccines should continue to be available to all: take 5 min and add your comments at the link below. (Advice for what to say in the linked thread.)

I think the trend is toward shorter books, but I could be wrong on that. I do wish Publisher’s Marketplace included word counts in their sales notices.
