I have been thinking a lot today about this letter that Mark Zuckerberg wrote to Jim Jordan. I am stunned at the admission of participation in what amounts to a criminal conspiracy in accordance with USC 18 Section 241 and 242…I am just amazed. We know from both the ‘twitter files’ and now this letter

Marie,So last night, the commissary funds hadn’t posted, and this morning, right at 6am when I could log in they still hadn’t posted.

August 22, 2024 Marie, What a chaotic day. It didn’t start out well—I got up early to watch the news and check emails at 6:00 a.m. Last night, I told you how lonely this whole situation feels, how emails, calls, and pictures are my only connection to home. And then, this morning, there was no

I guess there is no work today, and we haven’t actually had real work all week, but had to sit in the cage. For some reason we don’t have to sit in the cage today. Normally that would be fine, but without even TVs in the unit, it is going to be kind of boring.
