Since not knowing populations is in the news there's never a bad time to remember the time Trump thought Seoul, South Korea had a population of 38 million people because he looked at Wikipedia & saw "38m" without noticing it was next to "elevation."

I thought the TikTok ban was an idiotic moral panic and a gross curtailment of expressive freedom, but I’m at least as uncomfortable about a scenario where a platform with 170m US users exists entirely on the personal sufferance of Donald Trump (or any president).

Even more birds are arriving at Agami Island, which is hard to believe. When the males arrive and find a suitable nesting spot, they perch there and then do this display for hours, trying to attract a mate. They sway like this and then shake leaves. #birds #herons youtube.com/shorts/MHxGh...

You know, I actually know exactly what it’s like to make the decision to end the life of someone with irreversible brain damage and that piece by Elizabeth Bruenig in The Atlantic is one of the most purely heartless things I think I’ve ever read.

“I feel powerless,” the person said. “It’s a lot more scary than the regular marked police, this is really the secret police. They can do anything to you, so I wasn’t willing to go up and confront them.”

Reporter: Five fellow mayoral candidates came here within 90 minutes of you being arrested and called for your release. What does that say about the tenor of the mayor's race? Lander: Was one of them Andrew Cuomo? Reporter: It was not. Lander: Imagine that!

Please support @thecity.nyc They broke this story today. For sure, they're part of the reason Lander got out so quickly and DHS dropped the charges, including assault. Everyone knew, including the governor and the NYS A.G. that their video showed no such thing like "assault" happened.

For some perspective, I used Planned Parenthood for my HRT because it was one of the most affordable options. Because of the administration, my bill went from $110 per visit to $512. Seriously, $512 for a visit, and Medicaid won’t cover it now. Please call your senators. This saves lives.

felt compelled to look up ICE authority for warrantless arrests if I'm reading this correctly, the circumstances under which ICE can arrest a citizen are basically limited to 'I literally saw you commit a felony and you're about to escape and no one's gonna be able to get a warrant' this aint that
