The Daily Show uploaded a video showing Fox News attacking Obama for golfing, but replaced him with Trump. Epic!

Sackets Harbor, NY is so small that there’s one pre k-12 school with 475 students. Three of those students were disappeared by ICE.

Here is a statement published today by school principal Jaime Cook:
< Jaime Montana Cook is at Sackets Harbor Central School. 5h • Message from the Sackets Harbor Principal As the principal of these students, I need to speak plainly. Our three students who were taken by ICE were doing everything right. They had declared themselves to immigration judges, attended court on their assigned dates, and were following the legal process. They are not criminals. They have no ties to any criminal activity. They are loved in their classrooms. Their family has worked at the nearby "Old McDonald's" petting zoo and dairy farm for 15 years. They lived in a house on the same road as a home ICE had a warrant for. The fact that ICE went door to door is unfathomable. The fact that our students were handcuffed and put into the same van as the alleged criminal from down the street is unconscionable. When I think of my third grader's experience, my stomach twists and it is hard to breathe. We are in shock-and it is that shared shock that has unified our community in the call for our students' release. We are in direct communication with our students. Let me be clear: they are not "being medically evaluated." They are not being "questioned as potential victims." Calling a detention center by another name does not change what it is. We deserve better than spin and misinformation. My teachers and my students are already hurting. Please, think about how long every hour feels for a third grader in a detention center. The wait had already been too long a week ago. I have no other agenda. Please release my students and their mother back to our community. Jaime Cook Prek-12 Principal Sackets Harbor, NY

If you don't want to see this horrible garbage happen in every future high-stakes election, make sure it demonstrably fails in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race by helping elect Susan Crawford

The Veterans Administration is requiring therapists to return to the office full time, but does not have enough space for them

As a result, they are forced to provide mental health counseling to veterans in open cubicles

It is an unethical and likely illegal practice

The nature of a cult is that it will turn you against your own family. Your loved ones will cheer as you are led off to the camps because hurting even you is what is necessary to bring on the glorious nation. apnews.com/article/trum...

“That is why Trumpists are so focused on “ending DEI” in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.”
The Great Resegregation
The Trump administration’s attacks on DEI are aimed at reversing the civil-rights movement.

NEW: Sixty-one percent of voters would support Biden publishing the Equal Rights Amendment and adopting it as the 28th Amendment to the Constitution.

www.dataforprogress.org/blog/2024/12...
Bar chart of polling data from Data For Progress. Title: A Majority of Voters Support President Biden Adopting the ERA to the Constitution. Description: The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) is a proposed amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The ERA would guarantee equal legal rights for all citizens regardless of their sex. Congress approved the ERA and 38 states have ratified it, meaning it has met all of the qualifications to be added to the U.S. Constitution as the 28th amendment. Some say President Biden should instruct the National Archivist to publish the ERA and adopt it as the 28th Amendment to the Constitution. Do you support or oppose President Biden adopting the ERA as the 28th Amendment to the Constitution? All likely voters — Support: 61%, Oppose: 28% Democrat — Support: 87%, Oppose: 6% Independent / Third party — Support: 65%, Oppose: 21% Republican — Support: 35%, Oppose: 53% Female — Support: 62%, Oppose: 24% Male — Support: 61%, Oppose: 33% December 6–9, 2024 survey of 1,224 likely voters.

We ALL deserve a more just and equitable future. The time is NOW for President Biden to publish the fully ratified 28th Amendment to enshrine gender equality in the US Constitution. January 20th is looming - join the fight for equality now. #PublishEquality
