Went to see the sunrise. It's a Korean tradition to see the first sunrise of the year. So, it wasn't surprising to see numerous other Koreans doing the same thing. While I will never be an early bird, I do find the sunrises at Lincoln Memorial breathtaking.

The end of mainstream news didn't start with Trump. It started with corporations building conglomerates to push out the "24hr" news cycle. The Trump Admin is just expediting it. Local independent news outlets are needed more than ever to push back the fascist takeover.

Wall Street Journal files on disability services
From attacking disabled ppl at universities to at the airport, the Wallstreet Journal is bent on eliminating the accommodations we rely on by saying most who request r swindlers & cheaters. This will result in ppl having to "prove" their disability, creating even more barriers. This has got to end.

Normally we see the labor market do a little better in October and November due to the holiday season. Not a good sign.
Breaking:
The U.S. labor market lost 41,000 jobs over October and November, and the unemployment rate ticked up to 4.6% — the highest since 2021.

Alt: Three men, Inego Montoya, Vizzini, and Fezzik, are standing next to each other on top of a hill . Montoya says to Vizzini, "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

When people talk about banning cellphones in classrooms, my first thought is about school shootings and how kids won't be able to call for help or comfort.

Two victims of previous school shootings — Mia Tretta, who was shot in the stomach in 2019 at Saugus High School, and Zoe Weissman, who survived the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School — are now at Brown. Gun violence is out of control in this country.

Thanks for interviewing me. Without ACA premium subsidies, disabled workers will have fewer career choices and many may not be able to afford health care.
"The impact of ending the subsidies, alongside the myriad other attacks on health care access, is hard to overstate." My latest for @prismreports.org: prismreports.org/2025/12/10/a...
Thanks to @thetattooedjew.com @jz-or-not.bsky.social @seemiaroll.bsky.social for your comments and advocacy!

For disabled people, slashing health care subsidies is ‘eugenics policy,’ advocates say
Millions rely on the Affordable Care Act, especially disabled people who benefit from flexible jobs and often have more health care needs
