Not sure, but regarding your initial point you're correct, just looked to see that he actually did not support expanding the court. I always have, even before the latest additions.

When did Biden have the 60 senatorial votes to expand the court?

Right you are. There’s an entity called Acre Trader, where investors can swoop in and buy farms on the cheap (after family farms have failed, for example). And guess who’s an investor? JD Vance.

I had to look it up to remind myself what the numbers were...
57 senators voted guilty... 43 voted not guilty
(2nd impeachment)

No, you're attacking me for sharing an article. You say the article doesn't mention where they are, I listed 2 detainment centers and you tell me how big the US is? Semantics has nothing to do with this.
I actually apologized for not knowing you shared the article and you still came at me.

Arizona, the San Luis Regional Detention Center
I apologize, I did not know you posted it, we're done.

I get that, but she was held and sent to detainment centers with women that were swept up in the ICE raids. She writes about the myriad of women who are being held despite having no criminal activity.

Have you read The Guardian piece on Jasmine Mooney?
A Canadian detained for two weeks by ICE. I can’t seem to link it but it really is chilling.

Right, there was an incident in Massachusetts & one in Colorado. But the president says 'wealthy' people like John Bolton should pay for their own security. "Taxpayers shouldn't have to pay", seems Tesla can afford its own security, why should taxes pay for police to guard one singular business?

This is from Forbes
"Some of Trump’s allies, including his son Donald Trump Jr. and Elon Musk, have expressed support for Andrew Tate. Trump Jr. called Tate’s detention in Romania “absolute insanity” in a post on X "

Yep.
Fun fact: Back in the classroom years ago I told my students I thought SMH meant 'so much hate'. Of course they corrected me, but I stand by it.

Noticed on fb this morning lots of copy and pasting of David Sacks (never attributing him though) & his new history of Ukraine. Sacks, a South African tech bro is feeding "Ukraine bad, Russia good" propaganda & maga is all in & posting it as if it is their knowledge of Ukraine history.

You are more than welcome. I was a small account at the old place, but I always appreciated you & your posts. Plus, you followed me back simply because I followed you. Keep on being you, I appreciate you.

I have followed @antifapuddinpop.bsky.social on twitter long before bluesky. You are mistaken, she is far from flaunting white privilege. Her story about food sharing bears no ill will here. Also, as another commenter has pointed out, in this country the majority of people utilizing SNAP are white.

Sugarbush snow reporter Lucy Welch emailed daily subscribers and included a message criticizing the Trump administration for slashing forest service jobs (Sugarbush is on National Forest Land).
Thank you Lucy Welch!

I had to look him up, saw an interview where he denies that Zelenskyy is a dictator and actually calls trump a bully.
