Every headline right now feels like another crack in the MAGA armor — Epstein docs dropping, Tucker Carlson platforming white nationalists, MAGA leaders panicking on podcasts.

And while most people are doomscrolling through it, this isn’t just scandal--

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

There's a long history of People's Tribunals & community members in the cities where the regime has sent troops and where ICE/Border Patrol are running wild can organize their own: www.nlg.org/wp-content/u... - they can be used as organizing tools & as a way to force local pols to take action.

I’m just so mad at those fuckers in Congress who are going to let the ACA subsidies expire with no consideration for small business owners, let alone single moms, and what it will mean for all of us.

This has been the slowest month of revenue for my business since the lockdown phase of the pandemic, when we almost went entirely under.

Coinciding with skyrocketing health care premiums come end of the year for me and my kids, it’s scary.

I know this is a common challenge.

Gender-affirming care saves lives
1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.

It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Transgender care saves lives.
Study In The Journal Of Pediatrics Finds Trans Youth Care Lowers Suicidality, Few Detransition
The groundbreaking study found that suicidality dropped for transgender youth receiving hormone therapy by nearly 70%, with only 7 patients of 432 discontinuing treatment.

Meanwhile Trump’s assault on the BBC continues its ever-rippling impact.
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

One thing I used to like about getting up as early as I do East Coast time is that I would often get the hilarious overlapping night owls from CA with the rather staid and reasonable EU/UK news at the same time.

Now it’s just fresh hell news cycle everywhere, but before 6 am.
