The apartment is getting colder, quieter.
Funny thing - with a candle burning,
It somehow feels warmer.
Maybe not because of the heat,
But because of the light.
I still have internet.
Still have connection.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.
A citizen.
Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.
"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.
Agents took and sold his phone
And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

Wake up people! Twitter as once was no longer exists...
Now there's a split between online MPs who used social media before the job and those who joined it for the job. The former are all on BlueSky and doing the existing lobbying re X, the latter are yet to have someone credible sit them down to talk through how the fundamentals of Twitter have changed.
