DHS employees entered our store this afternoon and served us a Notice of Inspection, demanding copies of I9 forms for each employee.

In 27 years as shopkeepers, we have never been subjected to this type of investigation.

Imagine someone pulling an Oath Keeper aside, and saying, would you like to beat the living shit out of people you hate, maybe even kill a few…with no legal risk? Oh, and I’d give you $50k as a bonus…plus great pay. Interested?

You don’t have to imagine it.

It appears that some members of the Democratic Party are supporting KOSA.

The act purports to be about protecting children, but it could weaponize Trump's FTC to target LGBTQ+ content on the internet.

The Minneapolis and Twin Cities subreddits are getting absolutely brigaded with this daycare stuff. You can tell because normally the posts on there are about how to park during snow emergencies and where to find a 5th for your polycule.

On December 14th, I sat across from 142 New Yorkers as they shared their concerns, their dreams, the leadership they long for from City Hall. Our campaign was built around listening to the people of New York, and we will govern in the same way. Tomorrow, we get to work.

Zohran is a Moderate because he's a normal guy
Popularists: Democrats should moderate by looking into the camera and saying they are the exact type of moderate I am

Me: Democrats should appear moderate by talking like normal people and making things like defending trans rights and immigration rights a natural part of the American project.
It is true that some Democrats should try to portray themselves as moderate. But that has way less to do with their actual policy stances than any of the popularists are willing to admit.

Dearborn Arab-Americans for the most part stayed out of the election or voted third party instead of switching D > R. They had a lot more valid reasons to hate the current Democratic administration than literally anyone else who voted Republican and they didn’t decide Michigan, let alone the EC.

And off to Yellowstone to try to get pictures of wildlife in the winter. Zooey got me a dream lens - Sony 5.6-6.3/200-600mm. First wildlife lens ever.

So excited.
