Scam alert: Someone is pretending to be me and reaching out to authors. The pitch contains enough specific details that it sounds plausible at first.

Requiring temporary visitors to surrender five years of social media to the U.S. sends the message that the American commitment to free speech is pretense. This simply is not the behavior of a country confident in its freedoms.
It's a threat to free speech around the world and must be opposed.

Uniquely insulting to pull this shit in NOLA, a city older than the country it's in, whose inclusion into the union only made it worse for people of color who'd lived much better without them
The incredible grassroots anti-ICE organizing in LA, Chicago, NC, and now New Orleans is probably the most hopeful political thing I’ve seen all year.

This is the scene in the hero's journey when my purpose is finally revealed to me.
Guess why this Avelo ICE plane had to return to the gate, according to a source at Avelo.
Ready?
Because a smoke alarm went off as they were taxiing to the runway, and it was an ICE flight guard smoking in the lav.

The harder it is for people with criminal records to get jobs, the easier it is to recruit them for jobs like this.
So it turns out an ice agent is much more likely to have an arrest record than an immigrant.

Already playing into your opponent's framing by going on a defensiveness tour and then you get the most brain dead man on earth with a 30% approval rating to headline it? Now that's smart politics
At the launch of a speaking tour intended to connect with Americans struggling with higher prices and stagnant wages, President Trump mocked the word “affordability” and touted how high the stock market had risen.
At the first stop on his affordability tour, Trump mocks affordability
What was supposed to be a speaking tour to connect with Americans struggling with higher prices and stagnant wages was instead a greatest hits campaign speech.

15 years sober today. I’m very grateful for everyone who has helped me get here, in big and small ways.
Not everyone needs sobriety but man, I sure did. Life is so much better, even when things are hard, as they inevitably are sometimes. And the good times are more joyful.
Thank you!
