If I were a billionaire I'd post a lot & some of it would be about making other billionaires look bad. "Ope, I just funded all the GoFundMe's" or "Found a way to house all the unhoused people in Minneapolis, go me!" + shit like "check out this movie theater I bought where I show movies for free!"

someone just needs to tell gavin newsom about the guys in silicon valley claiming to be "politically homeless" and wait for the bulldozers to do the rest

Not for lack of trying.

Yep.

Kansas City developers halt sale of warehouse for ICE detention center as public pressure mounts Federal officials first toured the building in January, sparking speculation over whether the owners had sold the building to the U.S. government. Media reports suggested the sale was part of a push t...

Primarily the community. We, the lovely people, pushed back. The owner, Platform Ventures, said they didn't know the buyer was the US gov (yeah, sure), and when they found out, they said no deal. Had the public not acted, the deal would have gone through.

As of today, they can cross Kansas City off of their list. Property owner won't sell to them.

I currently have a newsletter in which I write regularly about how societies devolve into authoritarianism & what that means right now in the US & around the world.

Gabbard Whistleblower Complaint Based on Intercepted Conversation About Jared Kushner The substance of the conversation, which covered in part issues related to Iran, isn’t known.

Breaking WSJ:

The highly classified whistleblower complaint against Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is related to a conversation intercepted last spring in which two foreign nationals discussed Jared Kushner, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter.

They really don't care at all.

I've been listening to Nuevayol for four months. I wanted to be able to sing it along with him.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.
