Multiple mandates. "Fuck Cuomo" should already be convincing, but if NYC can't agree on "Fuck ICE" there's no hope for the country

deeply weird doing antidiscrimination training at work knowing that the federal government has completely stopped enforcing anything to do with it (unless you are a white person claiming you have been unfairly targeted for whiteness)

It was obvious, in retrospect, that we needed to track down the "vehicle extended warranty" people and eliminate them. We didn't, and now scammers run the whole country and control most of the communication channels. (s/. Mostly.)
