A bill was just signed into law by Washington Governor Ferguson prohibiting employers from microchipping employees. I wish the need for this was some sort of dark April fools joke.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.

And, just as a final bitter note, safe streets folks weren't even asking for speed humps originally. Folks wanted protected space for biking and walking on the boulevard. The speed humps were a sour "compromise" b/c at least they would be something. Cutting even the speed humps is just so bad.

At this rate I expect next we’ll get new information about Monica Lewinsky, a list of 205 card-carrying communists employed by the State Department, and possibly some blockbuster revelations about Grover Cleveland’s illegitimate child.
