I'm assuming the blush is from allergies.

If I'm going for a cheap portable, Chromebooks still pull through. Especially since I can get a refurbished unit for under $100.

I'm frustrated. I live and served in a country that cares more about gas prices than: - citizens being killed by ICE - providing a future for children - the servicemembers who will die due to Iran conflict Save one. Just try to save one person. Make one person's life better. Build tomorrow together

As long as companies are allowed ti warehouse data, our government will gain access to whatever surveillance/ data they need.

I have gotten confirmation from sources inside the Coast Guard that this is in fact true and happened in Key West. ICE went into military housing and took the spouse of a USCG member who is currently out to sea.

You're doing fine David. I refuse to accept not being allowed to criticize incumbents. Numerous times Democrats held Congress, we fight uphill for change. All party Democrats need to support (minimum) - Regular town halls - No stock trading - Legis. companies are not people, money is not speech

I was thinking more S. Schumer. Or other Dems in deep blue states that do not hold town halls, trade stocks, and are generally unresponsive to constituents.

I am not a lawyer. Is this something we the people could sue over? This is supposed to be a budget. The Constitution says provide for etc etc. This does none of that, while still taxing us. Does this law meet Constitutional requirements?

This makes a lot of sense. Technology changes so fast, people need reskilling after 10-20 years. Or if you picked a career you hate earlier.

Sarah Stillman investigates a widespread crisis of deaths by starvation in America’s county jails. Most of the victims she identified had been arrested in the midst of a mental-health crisis, often on petty charges tied to their psychiatric distress.

Starved in Jail

Why are incarcerated people dying from lack of food or water, even as private companies are paid millions for their care?

Democratic governors, mayors and city councils need to coordinate with their National Guard and local law enforcement leaders NOW. Make sure you have people you trust in place NOW. Fascists are going to strip your power or arrest you if you're not prepared to resist.

Are we at the point that resisting arrest can be considered self-defense? We should stop going quietly.

Hi @ezralevin.bsky.social I'd like Indivisible's assistance in requesting legislation. L: Persons having participated in ICE deportation proceedings to El Salvador are ineligible for Federal Service. Right now, ICE officials are "just doing their job". Let's let them know our values.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

Wilmer only found out his son had been detained after receiving a phone call on March 15 from his nephew, Luis, who lives with them. That morning was their last time together; they had gone around the corner to do their laundry. Later that day, Wilmer said that his son met with a friend to get help with some errands at the American Red Cross. He learned this from Luis, who looked at the situation from inside the apartment: when his son was on his way back, just steps from his home when ICE agents stopped him. “The officers grabbed him and two other boys right at the entrance to our building. One said, ‘No, he’s not the one,’ like they were looking for someone else. But the other said, ‘Take him anyway.'”

That moment marked the beginning of Wilmer’s search for answers — answers he’s still waiting for.

It happened again. An attorney filed a brief in the Dallas Court of Appeals citing four cases that neither opposing counsel nor the court could locate. Last week the court gave counsel 10 days to file copies of the four cases. This will not end well. #appellatesky

There is a severe problem happening in the bee world: Bees are dying & this year 2025 80% of the Bee population has died. This is catastrophic for the planet. So I am asking my sweetest friends with money & pull: lets get Honey Tree Healing Farm going to repopulate bees, trees & feed the world.

I agree in part, but you and I are hardly the average. My sister, nurse, two kids. Comes home exhausted. Only to do more work. Many Americans are like this. Information overload coupled with too much everything.

UPDATE: ICE is wildly unconcerned about where this man is and no one will tell me, his registered attorney. The universal answer so far is "let's wait and see where he ends up." This is deeply off. We would have more rights at this point if UPS had lost a pair of shoes I'd just bought from Zappos
