Beyond helping establish DHS itself in 2003, Mr. Mitnick was a senate-confirmed Trump choice for General Counsel for DHS in his first term. I've talked with him a few times, and he's not a man for hyperbole. So bear that in mind when you see him calling out DHS's "lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty."

Support journalists on-the-ground in #Minneapolis: the @startribune.com (a.k.a. the Strib), the paper I grew up reading, has created a nonprofit fund that can accept tax-deductible donations to support its reporting and research work.

Forgive me if I have a hard time criticizing the #ActuallyAutistic Barbie when the Trump administration is outright pushing dangerous bunk "cures" for autism that could kill autistic people.

Fished out the “sexy penguin” costume I bought in 2024 for the #nyrrfrosty5k for this morning’s #polarbearplunge in Coney Island. This smashed plastic champagne🥂 flute that I found from last year might be an apt metaphor for 2026.

Planning stuff to do in #Minneapolis after doing Grandma’s Marathon. Sad to see that the Walker, @artsmia.bsky.social and Weisman are all closed on Mondays. Maybe I’ll Uber it out to Plymouth and go canoeing on Medicine Lake.

#MondayMorning thoughts: Something that befits the sort of hell depicted in The Good Place:
Having to act excited about mediocre baked goods brought to the office / to a potluck
"Oh, *oatmeal raisin*! Who would have thought to put the great taste of Raisin Bran in a cookie?"
a woman is saying `` this is the bad place ! ''

Religious: “Angels We Have Heard on High”
Secular: “Sleigh Ride” (the instrumental version and it better have a trumpet horse whinny at the end)
What is your favorite "Christian" Christmas song and what is your favorite "Secular" Christmas song?

I will probably always adore "O Come All Ye Faithful" and "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" for Christian.

And "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" for secular.
