The fine print on this goal to make 5,000 arrests in New Orleans reads:
“Regardless of whether they’re citizens or not”

NEWSMAX: Your goal is 5,000 arrests in New Orleans. How did you come up with that figure?
BOVINO: That figure is something, um, that we talked about and it's definitely something that's attainable

If you’re telling Head Start programs they can’t say “disability”, “Black”, “female”, or “Tribal” in order to get funded—you don’t care about kids. Period.
This administration is attacking the very protections that keep children safe and supported. Our kids are not political props.

I don't really understand how parenthood in the USA works.
Negligible parental leave. Barely any annual leave.
When are parents expected to actually spend decent time with their children?

Must be nice to live in a country that responds so swiftly with policy change.

More broadly: *anyone* who looks at Trump & sees *anything* other than dull toxic narcissism is projecting.
But that's been ... almost everyone! For 10+ years he's been 100% consistent & still people are imagining surprises & complexities! Still!

I want to emphasize this, and note that I have been saying it consistently for over 10 years now: *everything* about Trump is immediately visible. Everything. There's no there there, no depth, nothing hidden, no secrets. He's shallow as a puddle. It's all right there, immediate, obvious, glaring.

Mifepristone has been widely used in France since 1987 and in the US since 2000. It is a safe drug with an excellent track record. Don't let any Republican or an irresponsible journalist tell you otherwise.

Pluribus is further an Autism / Allism allegory in that virtually everone else *intrinsically* understands each other in ways that Carol doesn’t “get” and vice versa
I am not saying Vince Gilligan intended this … just that Pluribus is an extreme example of the Double Empathy Problem.

Much of Pluribus can be viewed as an allegory for being Autistic in an Allistic world.
Carol cannot see why anyone would want to be part of *whatever* *Everyone* is and Everyone else intrinsically infantilizes Carol and by their own analogy see her as a dronding person they *should* save.

A lot of Neurodivegent ppl eventually ask the question:
What if (virtually) *everyone* was literally *one* Neurotype … what would that look like?
Pluribus explores that question through the eyes of one of the *only* (<20) divergent ppl to that singular Neurotype.
