I'm nonbinary.
Yeah, but what were you born as?
A baby.
No, I mean what is your sex?
Awesome.
FFS! Do you have a penis or a vagina??
I've had my share of both.
OMFG!! WHAT IS IN YOUR PANTS??
A frankly disturbing number of lockpicks.
Things are tough, so here's a whole bunch of positive news.
The billions and billions of dollars this bill pumps into ICE far exceed any conceivable legitimate need the agency could have, even if you agree with its mission.
This bill takes the same masked, anonymous gunmen who have been kidnapping people off the streets and gives them a budget the size of a military.
This is not about honoring the law. This is not even about immigrants.
This is about creating a police state.
I see no other way to read these numbers.

So the UK Met Office is inviting people to suggest up to 5 names for storms. And apparently lots of people have been suggesting "Storm Bigoil", along with BP, Equinor, Exxon & Shell... This is obviously appalling & definitely not to be emulated via this link:

A key part of the New York City mayoral races was Ranked Choice Voting.
I'm not seeing many news articles mention this yet (correct me if I'm wrong though!).
Ranked choice let's us vote first for who we actually want.... and then put in backup votes for "good enough" candidates and allows us to compromise and find common ground.
It destroys the concepts of "lesser of two evils" and "throwing away your vote".
I hope we see Ranked Choice voting everywhere.
