Strongly recommend people spend the house listening to my brilliant friend, Jessica Zweng, an immigrant rights attorney in the trenches for the past 2 decades.

She breaks down how ICE and CBP are part of a deliberate, violent, well-funded structure that behaves exactly as designed.
The Violence Is the Point: How ICE & CBP Are Designed to Harm and Kill

Immigration enforcement has always upheld white supremacy & forged by weaponizing law enforcement against undesirable immigrants. Now, the monster has been unleashed against white Americans.

Anadith Danay Reyes Álvarez died in government custody.

She had sickle cell and congenital heart disease but couldn’t access timely and adequate medical care.

We need to reform immigration detention.

FYI: Judge Ellis (Chicago ICE case) noted in November that video evidence shows ICE "brake-checked other motorists in an attempt to force accidents that agents could then use as justifications for deploying force."

Congress can’t keep calling itself a coequal branch while acting like a spectator. If it won’t defend its constitutional role, this president will gladly take it.

LEFT: Heartfelt condolences on Rob Reiner's death from a kind, stable person who should have been president.

RIGHT: Obscene gloating over Rob Reiner's death from a delusional sociopath who never should have been president.

Zoe Weissman survived the Parkland shooting. Now she’s at Brown, and it happened again.

Warnock: "Cynicism & despair sets in & rather than people turning toward each other they are tempted to turn on each other, & that creates just the kind of atmosphere where strong men emerge promising to solve all of our problems in one fell swoop. We have to resist that."

Kressly: So let’s talk about the contagiousness of hepatitis B. It can live on surfaces, and it can be spread through touch—from someone who is shedding the virus to someone else.

So when we’re in situations where we can’t know 100% who is at risk, the right answer is to protect everyone.

I have thought about this commercial all week, and how much the persistent efforts by the adult character would mean to me as a kid. I also cried the first time I watched it.
Going to end on one of the most beautiful commercials ever made with the reminder and a call to remember the small things. They make a big difference to others.

Love all, help all.

Go Jackets.

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.
