Really interesting that we have a mayor who sent in innocent city workers (who have dedicated their lives to helping those in need) to enact a decision she alone made, subjecting them to unprecedented verbal abuse, & she doesn't even show up to defend her staff doing her bidding.

This would never have happened to Tokyo Sexwale.

'DHS has sent hundreds of subpoenas to social-media companies, according to people familiar with the matter. Its agents have tracked down Americans at work and on the road, asking them to sign letters acknowledging their online speech about ICE “may” be a crime.' www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

How ICE Is Weaponizing Social Media Against Its Critics

The agency says its surveillance program searches for threats to agents, but critics see free-speech infringements.

Convinced Kaoly Her is going ahead with this encampment sweep this morning despite almost everyone in the know telling her to delay because she thinks she’d otherwise appear politically weak. It’s awful of the mayor to put vulnerable people at greater risk just to try and save her political career.

Kat Donnelly, a nurse with Healthcare for the Homeless, spent Tuesday scrambling to refill medications and make sure patients knew where to find her ahead of the Pig's Eye Park encampment closure Wednesday morning.

Donald Trump wants to spend your taxpayer dollars separating families and building new ICE prisons. In 2016, I voted against reopening this prison in Appleton. In the Senate, I'm not going to send one more penny to this lawless, out-of-control agency. Let's rip ICE apart.

Bro, I am struggling all of the time.

New York Magazine@nymag.com · 23h ago

On social media, a broad consensus is that you can’t admit to struggle — at least not while you’re struggling. Doing so represents a failure so profound it’s almost existential. How did it become mandatory to demonstrate perpetual growth and progress online?

I remember when Peters announced his retirement, some folks tried to pressure Pete to run since he now lives in Traverse City. The assumption then was that Michigan had a pretty deep bench and that folks might have trouble supporting a newcomer to the state. I assume he's going to run for president.

I stopped watching the NFL because it was woke and soy, but now I’m back because the 42 year old quarterback of a team that will overachieve if they make the playoffs hates Anthony Fauci.

Wife’s friends are in town and came over for dinner, so I ordered the 21 taco platter from local Mexican place. Huge sides of rice and beans as well.
