Anyone try to log in to their SS account lately? They want a copy of your driver’s license or passport photographed, and a selfie. They are not only getting facial recognition of all citizens, they are making it extremely difficult to get to your information. Non-tech folks will really suffer.

Everyone: Your assignment for first thing Monday morning…

CALL CONGRESS AND TELL THEM HOW MUCH YOUR HEALTH INSURANCE PREMIUMS ARE GOING UP IF YOU RELY ON THE ACA
My health insurance premiums will more than double in January. I pay a little less than $500/month for my current silver plan.
I just reapplied and my new premium will be $1062/month.
And don’t forget: I still have a co-pay for every visit and pay for prescriptions.

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.
What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

The latest from Heather Cox Richardson:
“The Trump administration is replacing American democracy with a kleptocracy, a system of corruption in which a network of ruling elites use the institutions of government to steal public assets for their own private gain.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.
See the problem?

So if all the people from “third world countries” should be banned from migrating to America because of a deadly shooting, what are we going to do about all the armed and alienated young white men?

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

Take 15 minutes and watch this video that looks at how we went from creating beautiful buildings and infrastructure to a drab, purely functional environment. Thanks to my artistic son for sharing this with me.

If they really mean “Americans first” then they better be letting all Native Americans access our National Parks for free.
National Parks to raise fees by $100 for international tourists to popular U.S. parks
The National Park Service says it is going to start charging international tourists an extra $100 to enter popular parks. They will be left out of fee-free days, reserved for American residents.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

I can remember the first time tRump was running for prez and how I couldn’t believe he was getting away with telling people at his rallies to hit and beat up the dissenters in his audience as they were led away. That all seems so passé now.
„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences.
It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.
