It literally never was. I suggested to some other NCMEC Board members when I was there that we should push back on the wrongful use of “groomer” to describe non-pedophiles. The answer, from Rich Kolodziej, NCMEC Board member: “we aren’t here to protect Democrats”.
If you were concerned about teachers “grooming” kids by acknowledging the existence of LGBTQ people, but you’re fine with the GOP hiding the Epstein Files and a president whose name is all over them, you’ve acknowledged what the rest of us have always known….
It was never about protecting. kids.

I volunteered for GOTE (get out the enrollment) for the first year and sooo many people were like “I want to get the ACA, not Obamacare.”
We should’ve let them enjoy it for a year, then hit them with the truth when they enrolled the next year. Surprise, asshole.

In hindsight, we should have called it the Affordable Care Act for just the first year, then switched it to Obamacare. Too many people still think they’re different things and it’s so frustrating.

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

The Venn diagram of people who worry about healthcare costs and people who vote for politicians who will increase healthcare costs is a circle

A new poll finds most U.S. adults are worried about health care becoming more expensive. That comes as Americans make decisions about next year’s health coverage and a government shutdown keeps future health costs in limbo for millions.

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

The "factual background" begins with something irrelevant and erroneous. Dallas is not in Oregon, and the Dallas shooting wasn't connected to any ICE protest.
If that's enough for the President to federalize a different state's National Guard and deploy them elsewhere, then the power is limitless.

Scott Pelley got a big scoop with the Trump DOJ whistleblower that almost surely was going to be the top story on 60 Minutes this week. But per the NYT, Bari Weiss personally booked Jared Kushner on 60–letting him take a victory lap for the Gaza deal. Pelley’s story was pushed to second position.

I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.
