I haven't had a drink since I started Zepbound. Is it bad? Before, I would generally have a glass or two of wine on New Year's but I didn't this year.

I'm at the bottom left of American progressive Democrats and if I zoom in, the closest label is Canadian progressive Democrats.
Not sure how that happened.
I was born there, but to American parents and left when I was 2.
I don't think I follow that many Canadians.

The Trump administration is considering opening an ICE facility in a Mississippi warehouse that would hold 8,500 people—far more than any current ICE facility.
But local opposition is growing—including from Republican U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker.

Lots of time spent on “is Trump fascist” and “is Trump racist” debates that have now been settled quite conclusively.

Last night, Trump posted a video to his social media platform that contained a racist clip showing Barack and Michelle Obama as monkeys. It's still up:

This describes well what I was feeling when reading that Medgar Evers' killer couldn't be called racist so they were pulling visitor brochures from his home national monument.

Every time I go to get my meds from CVS, there's a new pharmacist. They just use them up and spit them out.
I'd love to be rid of that place.

How to treat the stranger, the foreigner, the immigrant, is an ancient moral question. Certainly far older than the modern state. Shakespeare, the Bible, the Stoics, Buddhism, all seem to agree that treating the stranger with hostility is abhorrent.
"O, desperate as you are,
Wash your foul minds with tears, and those same hands,
That you like rebels lift against the peace,
Lift up for peace, and your unreverent knees,
Make them your feet to kneel to be forgiven!"
Wash your foul minds with tears, and those same hands,

Lift up for peace, and your unreverent knees,

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

This is what we were discussing this morning on our local radio station. This is a big deal and has become a feature of this administration.
I am speechless.
