what this? a gay Jewish baseball romance? I know absolutely nothing about baseball but 90% of the people madly in love with Heated Rivalry know nothing about hockey so perhaps it’s time to expand my horizons.
Happy one-month-i-versary to Breakout Year, which Rachel Reid called "a sweet, soft, and sexy delight."
and Grace Reilly called "an absolutely delicious slow burn."
and my sports friends called "surprisingly accurate for a book that's thirsty about teffilin."

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

The position of the US government is now that airports should double as public gyms? I guess?
Duffy: "My daughter pointed out a video from Dr. Paul Saladino where he was complaining that there are no pull up bars in airports, which prompted me to call Sec. Kennedy to give me Paul's number to start the conversation."

This is genuinely WILD
In 1996, Donald Trump crashed a gala fundraiser for a pediatric AIDS charity and took a seat on the dais. He wasn't invited. He hadn't even contributed to the charity, and never did. He just wanted to be at the front of the room, receiving honor and applause.

Trump boasts about his philanthropy. But his giving falls short of his words.
The Republican has not followed through on many of his promises to give to charity.

The Supreme Court just set aside a 2nd Circuit decision upholding New York's requirement that all school students, public and private, obtain certain vaccinations, without any religious exemptions. It orders the 2nd Circuit to reconsider the ruling in light of SCOTUS' LGBTQ school books decision.

I am not live posting the whole argument here because I want to listen closely to Trump v. Slaughter. But the solicitor general for Trump just said the point here in killing the independence of agencies like the FTC is that executive branch officers must “fear and obey” the president. Wow. #SCOTUS

Watching a Christmas music special from 94 and it’s amazing how some things you absolutely wouldn’t hear the stars talk about in cutesy interviews anymore. Amy Grant was saying ‘every year we stuff our tree with fireworks and set it on fire on New Year’s Eve’.

Knowing the NHL, I’m sure there are 8000 memos sent top down from Bettman prohibiting anyone from acknowledging the existence of G.H.S.T.: The Series but I *know* the social media managers would make incredible meme content & I feel bad that they are presumably being deprived of these opportunities.

The last NDAA restricted TRICARE from covering "certain medical procedures for children that could result in sterilization." The must-pass nature of the NDAA means Republicans can put in tons of anti-trans provisions. This would be a transgender Hyde Amendment.
