Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

I am hearing that RFK Jr.’s minions are going to go after HPV vaccines. I’ve got problems with these people and now you’re going to hear about them, first from a personal perspective and then from a professional one.
It all boils down to this: WE HAVE A SAFE VACCINE THAT PREVENTS CANCER.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

We are not here to generate shareholder value. We are here, as Vonnegut said, to fart around.
Learn to sing, draw a picture, get laid, play dominoes in the park, lowball guys selling project stock cars on your local online yardsale, go count butterflies in a field.

I agree that it’s high fucking time that we stopped acting like we need to grovel and constantly justify the existence of some of our most incredibly elemental and ancient human pursuits.
Are the humanities the only disciplines whose classes begin with modules speaking to the importance of studying the humanities? "Why study the humanities?" and "Why the humanities are important" must be cliches.

As of a few hours ago, terrified people are still being abducted near my home. Celebrate today's tentative victories, but I also want out-of-towners to know that the crisis remains ongoing. We'll see what the coming days bring

Having just spent *all day* coaching my 12yo in how to effectively shovel snow, the idea that the Temple of Doom enslaved 9 year-olds to do mine labor makes even less sense than ever.

A new Colorado law includes requirements that dozens of cities provide multilingual ballots during local elections, bridging a major gap in access for voting in those races.
Colorado Strengthens Access to Ballots in Spanish
The state adopted a Voting Rights Act to stand in for quickly eroding federal protections. Still, local advocates warn there’s much more Colorado can do to ensure multilingual access.

As we reflect on President Trump’s second first year in the White House, one thing is abundantly clear: The Trump Administration’s lawlessness is bad for business, bad for workers, bad for families, and bad for our economy.
In just one year, CA DOJ took Trump to court 54 times and won, repeatedly.

Amazing cover of this piece of musical history about Hitler. I’m very impressed that this band decided to cover this song for now other reason than to make sure we can all appreciate Irving Berlin’s lyrical talent.
