I finally got confirmation that ICE agents have been getting paid this whole shutdown. Only people who’ve had guaranteed pay this whole time are the lawmakers responsible for the shutdown and kidnappers

Journalist Evan Hurst has been keeping an ongoing list of Christian and Republican leaders who have been caught exploiting kids.

Hurst has identified 188 Christian and Republican leaders this year, so far, stating, “If MAGA is so upset about Epstein, they should hear about Baptists!”
At least 188 Christian & Republican leaders have been accused of child abuse this year - LGBTQ Nation
"If you are tracking drag queens or trans people or just LGBTQ+ people abusing children ... those stories just don’t happen much."

It would have been nice if Jones (or The Daily Beast) pointed out that while diversity may be our nation's strength, & that's a lovely sentiment to embrace, Bad Bunny playing the Super Bowl has nothing to do with immigration because HE'S NOT AN IMMIGRANT.

Astonishing and in a way heartening to see what people are prepared to put up with to get the education they want.
The number of foreign students in the U.S. decreased by less than 1 percent this fall, according to new federal data, despite predictions that their enrollment would plummet this year due to a crackdown by the Trump administration.
Trump’s crackdown on foreign students barely impacts enrollment, data shows
About 1.3 million students in the U.S. had active visas in October, down less than 1 percent from a year ago.

I was telling my wife about how they made a Barbie of La Llorona, the vengeful ghost of a woman who drowned her own children and now roams for eternity dooming all who suffer the misfortune of hearing her mournful wails, and my wife stared at me blankly and asked if she was “known for anything else”

This is how real Americans react to authoritarianism. With an urgency to fight tyranny by trying to make a more perfect union for all.
81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

1) The show continues overnight

2) There’s a chance that tomorrow night’s northern lights show is even better than tonight’s (more below).

I really need to get to bed, but I just poked my head out the back door again. This is the view from my deck. All of this is looking south. When the geomagnetic storms are like this, the oval overshoots me and stretches into the US, which is why so many are seeing it tonight. #aurora
