Completely outraged, agree

Just when you thought it couldn’t get much worse…

This is the Stolen Neighbors Quilt. Each of the 11,000 squares represents a person taken by ICE in Minnesota.

A $3 @mta.info subway fare and some good Q train timing can buy you one hell of a view of the July 4th fireworks and the Brooklyn Bridge light show! Huge shoutout to the train operator for slow rolling over the Manhattan Bridge and the conductor for announcing it.

As usual, Applebaum gets it right in a succinct manner

Aaaaannnnnddddd—it’s official, and unanimous: a one year moratorium on large data centers in the city of Seattle! 💃🎉🔥
