Weird job to take when you want to run for president.
The backstory here is that the Squamish people of what is now Vancouver were illegally dispossessed of this land a century ago. They sued, got their land back, and are using their sovereignty to ignore local zoning rules and build 6,000 new homes over the objections of nearby wealthy NIMBYs.
Great job everyone

That last line is the point. She quits her job, furthers the nursing shortage, and care labor becomes more and more "free"

You have constitutional rights: • DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR if an immigration agent is knocking on the door. • DO NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS from an immigration agent if they try to talk to you. You have the right to remain silent. • DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING without first speaking to a lawyer. You have the right to speak with a lawyer. • It you are outside of your home, ask the agent it you are free to leave and if they say yes, leave calmly. • GIVE THIS CARD TO THE AGENT. If you are inside of your home, show the card through the window or slide it under the door.
When I was in New Hampshire a couple weeks ago, a local bar had printed these out, and also had a QR code for a site where people could report ICE sightings. Normal people trying to be good to one another (Mr. Rogers’ “helpers”) are keeping me sane.

I have a photo of one of these from when I was touring properties in Minnesota last summer!!

Bathhouse emailing me to let me know they’re open. 🤗
There are only two options here
1- people who live in built up areas subsidizing people in high wildfire risk areas (which to be fair is a combo of rich people and low income rural areas)
2- insurance fund goes bankrupt regularly and has to be bailed out by state general fund
100%. One of the secrets of European and Japanese transit and public space is that they're nice and people wouldn't be humblebragging/proud if they weren't
Some of the weirdest gatekeeping I’ve ever seen
