On Sunday I was eating ice cream sundaes with my son when he asked me and mom what ICE was. I stammered my way through an answer, not knowing that on the other side of town ICE was capturing people off the streets. Thanks to NJ.com for letting me write about it. www.nj.com/opinion/2026...
I told my blond 6-year-old he’d be OK. Down the street, ICE took away another 6-year-old’s ‘papi’
No one in New Jersey should spend any more time pretending ICE tearing families apart is far away.

Peaceful protest is a constitutionally protected form of free speech, no matter how much it inconveniences or embarrasses those in power

This is quite literally the 2nd amendment
States can create citizen militias independent of the National Guard. I’d like to see governors and state legislators think creatively about that power when it comes to monitoring federal agents operating in their state, particularly if they don’t trust police forces to do so.

I am sadly certain that the turning of the calendar year will do nothing to ease this overwhelming exhaustion and escalating despair
The emotional fabric that wraps my heart and mind are worn threadbare
But I will carry on
I must

But I will carry on

We didn't survive and thrive as a species because we had warriors or hunters - pretty much every omnivore can manage that.
We did so because we developed Grandmothers, and domesticated Dogs.
Community is what defines us as a species, and every "self-reliant" libertarian shitweasel be damned.

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

I listen to several hours of podcasts a day. They're great for gaining knowledge on my commute, or being entertained while doing chores. I enjoy them thoroughly, and I have exactly zero interest in watching any of them

All over my FB people talking about their bad experiences with shingles vax and dissuading each other from getting it! We need to give people real info on how to mitigate the symtoms caused by vaccines because vaccines are always better than meeting a virus unprepared. Yet drs aren't coaching ppl
