This is a laughable tweet and data point. Vivid seats is one of many brokers. Vivid seats has no way of knowing how many tickets are being resold on other platforms, and Vivid Seats has no idea who the fans are of the tickets they are buying.

On reddit, a user on the r/USCIS subreddit says a friend of theirs is detained at Eloy (an ICE detention center in Arizona) and is looking for help. Buried in the post is a claim that there's been a recent death there that ICE is covering up. Unleashing this one on the border reporters.

r/USCIS • 4 hr. ago No-Scallion-6500 My friend is at Eloy Detention centre. Wants to speak to a journalist (TW) CBP Support Hello, I don’t know if this is the right subreddit to ask, my friend is detained at Eloy and wants to speak a journalist about the human rights abuses happening there: My friend 21m from Russia crossed the border from Mexico after the trump administration abolished CBP one app. He has been detained at eloy for 3 months now and he tells me about wide range of human rights abuses happening there, Eloy is often called the “deadliest immigration detention centre in the US” this is true, he tells me a detainee has died there very recently and that they are “covering it up” as in they are downplaying the cause of death because he was sick but haven’t been given enough medical help. He himself experienced homophobic harassment from officers and other inmates, he is facing deportation like many of the other detainees currently. A friend he made there was seeking asylum because he was imprisoned and tortured in Egypt but they still deported him. If deported back to Russia he will certainly face treason charges and put in prison for evading the military service in the Ukraine war and seeking asylum in the US. He often tells me he feels hopeless that he should have sought another place to seek refuge in. He asked me to see if there are journalists running a story on this issue or a similar one, because he wants to tell his story as he has no other choice and the future is uncertain. If you guys know someone interested please let me know. Because I have emailed these big news outlets with the email they give on their website but they don’t respond. Thanks!

Remember that this is where his discussions with El Salvador began. The migrant detentions there are the dry run. He wants to ship U.S. prisoners to El Salvador.We cannot sleepwalk through this.

Imagine calling yourself the master race and have to resort to erasing the achievements of minorities to make yourself feel better.

Here's the thing, though: He didn't humiliate Zelensky. He humiliated himself & the rest of this country. He thought he could try to set this up on purpose to try to bully him. The only problem is that Zelensky is a real strong man with honor & dignity.. all things tRump, musk & vance aren't! 🇺🇸💙🇺🇦

What’s your choice? Not a great year overall, imo. Just curious what other people liked more, especially when both Anora and the Brutalist were even longer

If you're in need of a real reason to maintain hope remember that billionaire-backed propaganda campaigns and mass censorship across state and federal governments has only made the country even more queer

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

Scatterplot titled “Empirical Evidence of Ideological Targeting in Federal Layoffs: Agencies seen as liberal are significantly more likely to face DOGE layoffs.” • The x-axis represents Perceived Ideological Leaning of federal agencies, ranging from -2 (Most Liberal) to +2 (Most Conservative), based on survey responses from over 1,500 federal executives. • The y-axis shows Agency Size (Number of Staff) on a logarithmic scale from 1,000 to 1,000,000. Each point represents a federal agency: • Red dots indicate agencies that experienced DOGE layoffs. • Gray dots indicate agencies with no layoffs. Key Observations: • Liberal-leaning agencies (left side of the plot) are disproportionately represented among red dots, indicating higher layoff rates. • Notable targeted agencies include: • HHS (Health & Human Services) • EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) • NIH (National Institutes of Health) • CFPB (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau) • Dept. of Education • USAID (U.S. Agency for International Development) • The National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE), despite its conservative leaning (+1 on the scale), is an exception among targeted agencies. • A notable outlier: the Department of Veterans Affairs (moderately conservative) also faced layoffs despite its size. Takeaway: The figure visually demonstrates that DOGE layoffs disproportionately targeted liberal-leaning agencies, supporting claims of ideological bias. The pattern reveals that layoffs were not driven by agency size or budget alone but were strongly associated with perceived ideology. Source: Richardson, Clinton, & Lewis (2018).

The data in this story, which shows a huge generational surge in people identifying as trans or bisexual, is fascinating and suggests the need for a major reframing of how we think about "LGBTQ" both as a category and as a more-important-than-ever political coalition. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/u...
