I'm not a historian but it feels like this period in history is going to be really hard to study later because there's a *lot* of data the government isn't collecting anymore

The Trump administration’s deportation machine has made women invisible targets. If you’ve ever wondered, like me, what happens to all the women ICE detains: huffpost.com/entry/ice-dete…

Also, people are really fucking sick Post covid, and no one's being honest about it. Like, no, you didn't die, but now you have chronic heart inflammation. Like, no, you didn't die, but all your hair fell out. Like, no, you didn't die, but now you have an autoimmune disease.

They’re really going with the “There is No War in Ba Sing Se” approach around the country now.
