USCIS issued a new policy memo asserting that adjustment of status is an exceptional form of relief. This new policy raises significant legal, policy & practical concerns and leaves applicants, their families & their employers uncertain of the future. https://t.co/q1zuCjXx3o

Happening now: Garden Grove city council getting hammered by residents after the chemical disaster by GKN’s weapons manufacturing facility, which supplies key components for Israel’s fighting jets.

They are demanding the city permanently shuts down the facility.

71% of Americans now oppose data centers being built in their area.

Nearly half of all Americans (48%) strongly oppose them.

The average home price is up 433% since 1983.

Today, the average price of a home is $405,300.

In 1983 that number was just $75,900.

Teachers have simultaneously:

A) been stripped of the ability to do anything about poorly behaved students
B) been pressured to pass students no matter what
C) been tasks with taking on more and more responsibilities that used to belong to parents
D) been vilified and blamed for every problem in society.

So…why the job dissatisfaction? It’s a mystery!

I really feel like work days should be 10am-3pm or 9am-2pm. There’s really no reason for people to be at work MOST of their life. It doesn’t even take that long fr

Let people go home and have time for their families, partners/friends, hobbies, REST, & health! That’s why everyone is so miserable today.

I don't want AI. I want functional public transit, walkable communities, and the light behind my eyes back.

The degree to which people are about to realize that it’s not that government wasn’t capable of helping you, it’s just that it didn’t give a shit is wild

[ABC7 Eyewitness News @ABC7]
