1 million seconds ago: about 2 weeks ago. 1 billion seconds ago: 1994. Elon Musk’s net worth is (currently) $910 billion. So...how long ago was 910 billion seconds?

The thing that makes things so difficult for the
WNBA is the difference in opinion. For example, if they shut the door on transgender athletes, they risk upsetting people like Cheryl, but on the flip side, if they don't ban transgender athletes, then it opens up even more issues.

If it was urgent to respond to ICE when they were murdering people on the streets in Minnesota, it is even more urgent today, when they are arresting record numbers of people. Anyone can be defined as a criminal by the flick of a pen. These brutal roundups set a precedent that threatens us all.

ICE arrests have soared to record highs over the few months, as ICE agents work with cops and courts to disappear people while avoiding public visibility. We urgently need new points of intervention to make this tragedy visible and take action. Here are some starting points: crimethinc.com/MeltICE
Unlike earlier high-profile raids that drew thousands of protesters into the streets of Chicago, Los Angeles and Minneapolis, the surge in arrests in June, July and August was captured mostly by grainy security camera footage, through cracked blinds and from behind closed doors.

Arrests by Immigration and Customs Enforcement this summer soared to record highs since the start of this Trump administration — with 43,000 in June, more than 49,000 in July and nearly 51,000 in August — as officials cut or narrowed the pathways to legal residency in the United States and expanded the pool of people eligible for deportation.
