@cdarwin@c.imDuring the first seven months of his presidency, the administration arrested the parents of at least 27,000 children.
During this period in 2025, the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was deporting about twice as many parents each month compared with 2024.
The records do not detail how many of these children were detained or deported with their parents, and how many families were split up.
But the data provides one of the starkest views yet of how Trump’s mass depo…

"Since 2024, the Village of Brown Deer has hosted a game every May, hiding a medallion within the village's 4.5-square-mile limits and sending out clues every few days. In previous years, the hunt has drawn thousands of searchers in pursuit of the cash prize and complimentary meal, sponsored by Café Corazon, according to the village."

@azonenberg@ioc.exchangeGot the official power numbers from my utility for the April billing cycle.
3572 kWh imported from grid, 200 kWh overproduction exported, for net 3372 kWh consumed/billed.
That is an all-time record for lowest power consumption (at least back to January 2024 which is the oldest bill I have easy access to).
Too bad it's also an all-time *high* for price per kWh - the effective price per kWh after taxes and fees hit 21.7 cents, a 15.4% increase since the start of the year…
