An accident is when I stub my toe. We didn't "accidentally" invade Mexico. We acted willfully and with reckless disregard for the border we claim to care so much about
The US accidentally invaded Mexico on Monday, storming a beach and planting DoD “restricted area” signs claiming the land for “the commander,” triggering a standoff w/ armed Mexican security forces, all because Trump’s government can’t even identify a border on a map

Warning signs appear on Mexican beach declaring area restricted by U.S. as Mexico rejects Trump offer to strike cartels
The signs read in English and Spanish, "Warning: Restricted Area," and had been declared restricted by "the commander."

Astonishing: Bovino and his agents showed up at the Bean this morning to pose for pictures. While Border Patrol snapped photos, one agent shouted, “Everyone say, ‘Little Village!’” The neighborhood where they are least welcome and most acutely felt. blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/10/b...
Border Patrol Agents Pose At 'The Bean' For Apparent Photo Op
The photo op came after agents tear-gassed a Little Village street and were spotted in the area numerous times. At the Bean, one agent shouted, "Everyone say, Little Village!"

Nothing is more annoying than walking up intent on self-care. The internal debate about whether to drink just heat water with some ginger & honey or to make overly sweet hot chocolate is so hard. Both are about the self and a form of care, but only one is going to help me avoid cavities.

The phrase "childhood food insecurity" is such a bullshit clinicism. Real ones can tell you about how they strategized around what gave them the most access to free food. Or chose to skip an activity because "it'll leave me too hungry after." Or creatively lied to avoid the pitying looks of others.

None of the ACIP understand that they just voted to maintain VFC coverage for the MMRV vaccine for kids under 4 (50% of US kids) through one vote—a good thing!—while removing the overall recommendation for any kid to get it (and thus ending ACA coverage requirement for kids with private insurance).
