I have a Royce nearby in Seattle.
I get their nama / champagne boxes to treat myself.

JP definitely knows their desserts.

Tried a bar.
I've tried chocolate from Italy, Japan, etc

Feastable bars are high sugar candy.
No different than those Cadbury eggs

I have gotten confirmation from sources inside the Coast Guard that this is in fact true and happened in Key West.

ICE went into military housing and took the spouse of a USCG member who is currently out to sea.

Regulations are necessary. Corporations naturally try to skimp on costs.

They're going slow, but seem heavily invested in building strike infrastructure.

You're doing fine David.

I refuse to accept not being allowed to criticize incumbents.
Numerous times Democrats held Congress, we fight uphill for change.

All party Democrats need to support (minimum)
- Regular town halls
- No stock trading
- Legis. companies are not people, money is not speech

I was thinking more S. Schumer.
Or other Dems in deep blue states that do not hold town halls, trade stocks, and are generally unresponsive to constituents.

Change is good.

If Nancy Pelosi can step down to train a new generation, others can too.

MIT’s injectable drug β€˜depot’ offers years of birth control, HIV care MIT engineers have developed a new, less painful drug delivery system using injectable crystal suspensions.

This is great.
Hopefully, you can just go for a cheap weekend getaway and get years of protection.

You into cheesy bread?

Best cheesy bread:

The wine helps balance the cheese.

I am not a lawyer.

Is this something we the people could sue over?

This is supposed to be a budget.
The Constitution says provide for etc etc.

This does none of that, while still taxing us.

Does this law meet Constitutional requirements?

This makes a lot of sense.

Technology changes so fast, people need reskilling after 10-20 years.

Or if you picked a career you hate earlier.

Starved in Jail Why are incarcerated people dying from lack of food or water, even as private companies are paid millions for their care?

Sarah Stillman investigates a widespread crisis of deaths by starvation in America’s county jails. Most of the victims she identified had been arrested in the midst of a mental-health crisis, often on petty charges tied to their psychiatric distress.

Democratic governors, mayors and city councils need to coordinate with their National Guard and local law enforcement leaders NOW. Make sure you have people you trust in place NOW. Fascists are going to strip your power or arrest you if you're not prepared to resist.

If there's an event, concert etc, I can just take a bus.

Are we at the point that resisting arrest can be considered self-defense?

We should stop going quietly.

Hi @ezralevin.bsky.social

I'd like Indivisible's assistance in requesting legislation.

L: Persons having participated in ICE deportation proceedings to El Salvador are ineligible for Federal Service.

Right now, ICE officials are "just doing their job".
Let's let them know our values.

Wilmer only found out his son had been detained after receiving a phone call on March 15 from his nephew, Luis, who lives with them. That morning was their last time together; they had gone around the corner to do their laundry. Later that day, Wilmer said that his son met with a friend to get help with some errands at the American Red Cross. He learned this from Luis, who looked at the situation from inside the apartment: when his son was on his way back, just steps from his home when ICE agents stopped him. β€œThe officers grabbed him and two other boys right at the entrance to our building. One said, β€˜No, he’s not the one,’ like they were looking for someone else. But the other said, β€˜Take him anyway.'”

That moment marked the beginning of Wilmer’s search for answers β€” answers he’s still waiting for.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind.

An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one."

The other said, "Take him anyway."

So they did.

It happened again.

An attorney filed a brief in the Dallas Court of Appeals citing four cases that neither opposing counsel nor the court could locate.

Last week the court gave counsel 10 days to file copies of the four cases.

This will not end well.

I've had a lot of misses lately.

Perhaps how each location managed their fryer is heavily impacting the flavor. πŸ€”

I don't think they care.

They can leave to other countries.
