Newspaper Headline: Roman Moroni Deported to Sweden. Says He's Not From There.

Unreal. The US government is dumping Asian and African families and children in random countries that they have no connection to. Dumping, not "deporting." Deportation implies the return of a person to their home country. This is treating people like toxic waste.

"The lesson [...] is clear: Don't fly into moral outrage every day. Focus on Trumpian incompetence." David Brooks' OpEd is worth the read, but the TL/DR take away is that the slime on DT's shiny objects distracts us from 🚩🚩🚩s all around us.

This feels like the beginning of another Jody Foster thriller set in Alaska.
An international research team has successfully drilled and retrieved a 9,186-foot-long (2,800-meter-long) ice core from Antarctica that dates back 1.2 million years. The sample extended so deep that it reached the bedrock beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet.

Under the GOP's SAVE Act, Tribal IDs would NO LONGER be accepted as valid identification to register to vote.
This is a direct attack on the voting rights of Native American communities.

I can't help but wonder what would happen to the cost of healthcare in the US if insurance companies went to bat for the consumer. Like... aw hell no. Doc wants to charge you how much for this procedure? Let's have a chat with doc.
