Per this new poll for @VirginiaHHA by Mason-Dixon, 50% of VA voters support reforming (35%) or repealing (15%) VA's so-called "Right-to-Work" law, while 46% support keeping it as is. Will be interesting to see how the VA Dem "trifecta" handles this issue. bluevirginia.us/2025/12/26-f...

if vaccines were free and widely available, if people got paid time off to get them, if testing was free and widely available, if masks were free and widely available… this has always been about layered protection, and masks are just one layer left that people can see from the outside

Imagine calling basic constitutional rights like the opportunity to speak in court "cutting corners." Even more alarming, he's saying all this in service of jailing people indiscriminately "by the busload" who are presumed innocent (and only if their families don't have the listed cash payment).
There are moments the mask is removed, and all the lies evaporate. This quote by a District Attorney in California is incredible. He says the volume of shackled poor people brought to court--what he calls the "cattle call"--makes it impossible to consider them as individuals.

Badgering others about the tools they need to survive is stigmatizing and ableist, and should have no place in decent society.

I watched the story & here r the key takeaways:
Of the 252 Venezuelans kidnapped to CECOT:
* Only 3 were convicted of violent/possibly violent crimes.
* Approx 50% had NO criminal history of any kind.
* All were tortured: sleep-deprived, beaten, isolated; &/or violated in MANY ways.

There’s an Arabic version of “every cloud has a silver lining” that translates to “no cows, no feeding them at dawn.” A Scots version is “today’s rain is tomorrow’s whisky.” And a Romanian phrase for looking on the bright side is un șut în fund, un pas înainte, or “a kick in the ass, a step forward”

The story is insane. The acting head of cyber security, a Noem crony, repeatedly demanded to see highly classified information he didn’t need access to, and when staff set up a lie detector test as a condition to grant him access, he failed it. So DHS suspended the staffers.
Acting CISA director failed a polygraph. Career staff are now under investigation.

At least six career staff were placed on leave after DHS opened an investigation into whether they misled the agency’s acting director, Madhu Gottumukkala, into taking the test.
