Hoping the promise of discourse without animus holds true. Perhaps a bit carried away with Starter Packs, like a kid in a candy shop, so many lists to choose from to expand my exposure to new ideas!

U.S. added 130,000 jobs in January, but labor market growth stalled in 2025 The Bureau of Labor Statistics found that U.S. employers added 181,000 jobs last year, far fewer than the 1.46 million jobs that were added in 2024.

US had almost *no* job growth in 2025.

Hiring numbers were revised down by over a million jobs.

Largest annual revision in over 20 years.

All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who can’t string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.

Right-wing Heritage Foundation’s own data shows fewer than 100 noncitizens voted since 1982 (!!!)

Welcome The Stranger YouTube video by NYC Mayor's Office

This city is home to people of countless faiths. But no matter what you believe, one thing unites us: we are all New Yorkers. We will not allow ICE to terrorize our neighbors.

It's great to live in a country (Canada, Japan, UK, France, Germany, Sweden, Italy, etc.) where citizens don't worry about if the next election will be canceled, if they will be allowed to register to vote, if they will have to stand in line for hours to vote, or if their vote will be counted.

A short note to Kristi Noem To a current Cabinet secretary from a former one

The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta, and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing. I’ll save them time.

Voter cheating, or electoral fraud, is extremely rare in the USA

Only 39 cases of voter fraud were ID'd in a recent election, a mere 0.000039% of over 100 million ballots cast

This week at Democracy Docket: The worst voter suppression bill ever passed, and an FBI raid built on conspiracy theories When the U.S. House passed the SAVE Act last year, historians told us it was Congress' worst attack on voting rights ever. Well, this week the House approved an even worse one.

“I spent thirty years trying to get mercury out of fish and no one ever called me anti fish.”

Which is ironic since the most common source of mercury in fish is from coal and guess what this administration wants our future to include…

I just heard someone say on TV that use of the term "concentration camps" to describe ICE facilities was "very strong language."
I think ICE's concentration camps are very strong abuses of human rights.

"Dow 50,000" Sound Nice. Until Justin Wolfers Shows You That U.S. Markets Are Coming 21st Out of 23. What does “Dow 50,000” actually tell you—anything about the economy, or just that a number got bigger? Dow 50,000 is a milestone, not a measurement. The level of the Dow is basically arbitrary: it’s…

The Dow was at 43,488 when Trump took office. It just hit 50,000.

So if you had invested $43,488 in the US, you would now have $50,000. But if you had invested the same amount in the rest of the world, you would now be worth $60,000.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

What is the end game for ICE? Terrorize one city and move to the next?

How many "illegals" are they actually finding for all this effort?

Seems like we should be hearing about high numbers being found but we are not because that's not what this seems to be about.

Every Democratic lawmaker needs to speak out strongly against #ICELawlessness & brutality like Governor Walz does here.

The time for mealy-mouthed timidness & focus group-talking points is over.

We're facing a deadly serious threat to our national security.

We need brave leaders, not cowards!

So, if I'm following all this correctly, a bunch of internet shitposters who spent years screaming "don't tread on me" and warning about federal agents stomping out people's rights... have been hired as ICE agents to go around breaking into people's homes, kidnapping & shooting them
