The December Comfort Watches series continues tonight with... Dredd?!? Yes! Dredd! Which presents us with a horrible place to live that you would probably never want to visit, and yet makes it entirely watchable:

I missed this important one on Friday.

9th Cir. holds anti-trans organizations and parents lack standing to challenge Washington laws providing mental health care and shelter to trans minors who run away.

cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/op...
Plaintiffs first contend that some or all of the Individual Plaintiffs have standing based on current injuries. They point to three types of injuries: constraints on their ability to parent, censored speech, and restrictions on access to information about their children. The State responds that these injuries are not cognizable under Article III. Construing the allegations in the FAC in favor of Plaintiffs, Pennell v. City of San Jose, 485 U.S. 1, 7 (1988), we agree with the State that Plaintiffs’ alleged injuries are not cognizable. a. Constraints on Parenting Plaintiffs first argue that the Statutes have injured the Individual Plaintiffs by forcing them to alter their parenting styles. This injury is most pertinent to Parents 1A and 1B. Fearing that their child, 1C, may run away to seek genderaffirming care, 1A and 1B are “hesitant to discipline 1C” because they do not wish to give 1C any reason to leave home. This tension further leaves 1A “uncomfortable every time she has a disagreement with 1C.” Plaintiffs argue that these types of parenting-related difficulties are practical injuries that the Individual Plaintiffs have suffered due to the Statutes.

This really is grotesque: they went through years-long citizenship processes and are now being denied simply because if the country they are from. It’s formalized bigotry.

IRW — a Pulitzer-winning nonprofit newsroom at American — and @thebarbedwire.com traced the history of anti-trans legislation. Houston conservatives realized homophobia didn’t fly anymore, weaponized girls’ safety, and parroted segregationist language. It worked.

BERMAN: Would it be legal for police in Arkansas to kill suspected drug dealers on a boat in a lake?

TOM COTTON: The premise of your question is not well-founded

BERMAN: The answer is no. It would not be legal to kill them.

ICE raided a James Beard award winning restaurant & because the chef/owner was prepared, left emptyhanded:

(1/5)'. christinanguyenmpls 11h We had an ICE scare yesterday and even though we’re afraid of the repercussions of being vocal, we feel that it’s also important to inform people that this is right at our front door. ICE is not some far away boogeyman. They are here right now, spreading fear in our community. We’re so grateful to our entire staff and their bravery. They did the right things and couldn’t have dealt with this situation in a better way. We are grateful to our community activists that came to support us from @miracmn @litosonlake and Monarcha. We hope that if you find yourself in the same situation, that you find these resources helpful. Peace and take care of each other ❤️ Photo by Christina Nguyen on December 04, 2025.

REGARDLESS OF THEIR LEGAL STATUS, THERE ARE SO MANY LATINOS & SOMALIANS WHO ARE AFRAID OF BEING DETAINED DUE TO MISTAKEN IDENTITY BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY MIGHT NOT GET DUE PROCESS & A FAIR TRIAL. THEY WILL JUST END UP IN DETENTION CENTERS & A LEGAL PROCESS THAT HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS A BLACK HOLE. WE STAND IN SUPPORT OF OUR IMMIGRANT COMMUNITY, WHO ARE THE BACKBONE OF THIS COUNTRY.

A lot of actual vaccine policy is set by states, not the federal government. We -relied- on ACIP, but we don't have to rely on it.

This is obviously bad, but it isn't "measles for everyone!"

2.) Insurance companies have said that they will continue to cover vaccines covered in the schedule in 1 - you will just need to be more active with your pediatrician to make sure that they're working with you.

3.) Blue states are not meaningfully changing vaccine requirements for schooling.

I do want to note three things that have happened in the wake of what ACIP is becoming to hopefully put some panicked nerves at ease.

1.) The American Association of Pediatrics is publishing their own schedule that matches the one before this goat rodeo.

Watching everybody freak out over this while just sipping coffee thinking “I know this sucks but we dodged such a bullet that the Paramount bid didn’t win.”

A sale was happening no matter what. And would you folks honestly prefer Comcast or Para/Skydance won? WHY?

The image is of a comic. Panel one depicts Santa Claus. He says, "Have you been naughty or nice?" Panel two depicts a happy dog. He says, "I am ALWAYS a good boy." Santa responds "Very nice!" Panel three depicts Santa again. He says "...And you?" Panel four depicts an orange cat climbing a Christmas tree, turning his head to look back at Santa.
