She was brought to the US as an 8yo, worked hard, studied, earned a scholarship, planned to become a nurse.
ICE kidnapped her. Held her for 6 MONTHS in a detention facility with conditions so miserable that she finally agreed to voluntarily move to Honduras, which her family left at gunpoint.

This is evil -- the kind of evil you read about in history books, the kind of evil you would never mistake for a single second if you saw it in another country. When you ask, of historical evils, "how could they let that happen?" That's us. We're letting this happen.

The suggestion seems to include the idea to “dumb down your vocabulary.”
So much for nuance, complex thinking, and using respectful language. These things are “woke” and the MAGA don’t like any of this stuff.
And we should drop to the bottom if we want to win again. Right?

I love indulgent writing about my generation as much as the next guy, but it seems like if you're going to write about Gen X you should mention the lamentable fact that Gen X dudes are the Trumpiest demo in the country.
An apology to Gen X
Gen Xers know you pay more attention to Gen Zers, millennials, and boomers. They don't care.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Halftime show is a good reminder that the left will always win culture. Always. Art comes from curiosity, novelty, openness, the ability to understand & juxtapose multiple perspectives simultaneously, surprise & irony & layered meanings, all of which are alien to the authoritarian mind.

Trump preps order to dismantle Education Dept. as DOGE probes data
Closing the agency would require congressional approval, so the new administration hopes to diminish it in the meantime.

I do hope TikTok’s defenders on the left reconsider their support for the app in light of its totally shameless support for Trump out of cynical self-preservation. What a grotesque spectacle of bending the knee for an autocrat.

I’m trying, and I hope other people will try, to hold onto the simple notion that a US president cannot simply declare a federal law that was passed last year and literally upheld this week to be a nullity—even if it’s a not-so-hot law. The Congress is the body that can amend or repeal federal laws.

As you journey into the new year, remember this - What you bring with you is what you choose to carry.
Leave behind the anger, the grief, the snacks that nourish only your worst impulses.
Pack only the good, the positive, the best of you.
Your load will be lighter, I assure you.
Safe travels.
