of course we found the Pieminister in Leeds!! not this time Nando’s

I genuinely have no idea how to convey this to the American people, but I think the biggest impediment to any kind of immigration reform is that people are convinced that "legal" and "illegal" are immutable, intrinsic categories instead of a rapidly-shifting arbitrary constellation of regulations.

all roads lead to Leeds tonight - what a lineup

“Every single woman had been in the facility about three weeks and had been living in the same articles of clothing for three weeks…Their clothes had not been washed. They had not been offered fresh underwear or fresh clothing. Some of them were literally still in their snow boots from Minnesota."

February 3, 2026 Sacramento, Cal. — In response to an uptick in harassment of Somali child care providers by right-wing extremists spreading hate and fear among San Diego’s Somali community, United Domestic Workers (UDW/AFSCME Local 3930) Executive Director Doug Moore issued the following statement: “For over a month, Somali childcare providers have endured harassment by internet vigilantes who are dead set on exposing fraud in California’s highly regulated government child care system. In the process, they are stalking and intimidating our members at their homes and places of business. These provocateurs are sowing seeds of hatred and distrust of our neighbors after taking cues from the president who referred to Somalians as ‘garbage.’ We treasure our Somali members and their contributions to our families, our union, and our communities.”

Aliyah Rahman: "I continue to hear the word 'bodies' because that is how agents refer to us—'We're bringing in a body'…'We can't use that room, there's already a body in there.' You have no reason to believe you will make it out alive if you are already being called a body."

2026 is starting very hot all of a sudden. Might be hotter than 2023 and 2024, but too soon to see. So much erratic behaviour in many systems that it’s hard to justify using past ENSO patterns and markers as predictors for the current erratic pattern.

Martinez ends her testimony with this:

"If there's not justice for the people, let there be no peace for the government."

This is what oligarchy looks like:

Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive, spent $290 million to elect Trump.

Since Election Day, Musk became $548 billion richer while his companies (SpaceX & Tesla) paid $0 in federal income taxes last year after making $13.7 billion in profits.
