Tack Room Socialist. Yankee carpetbagger. Horses, music, Arsenal FC. Lives in 2 states and Google's algorithms just cannot handle it.
We have GOT to establish a mandatory retirement age for elected federal officials (including the presidency). I'm 65 myself and I can't believe these people are still in office. Both parties need to unite on this, bc it cannot go on.
Stories like this are why we can’t stop having a public conversation about the gerontocracy. It may be painful but to let this kind of ego-centric leadership continue is actively harmful to democracy & trust in institutions. Norton had to go. nymag.com/intelligence...

Mariah Carey has her seasonal thing, I have mine; here, in its sophomore Yule apparition, the latter. Listen/download gratis!

NOTE: Per my totally made-up tradition, the track will only be available 13 Dec.-5 Jan. Download it now if you want it for your XPmas-in-July do. Happy excess and license!

Speaker Mike Johnson says his entire worldview comes from the Bible.

But he’s about to kick 2 million Texans off their healthcare right before Christmas.

If you aren’t loving your neighbor, then keep Jesus’ name out of your mouth.

Anyone making the claim that you are not sufficiently loyal to their cause for not throwing away whole groups of people’s rights is an authoritarian threat and in the fascist radicalization funnel.

Yes this goes for your favorite democrat at the national and state levels.

This is good news.

Automatic license plate readers endanger everyone's privacy and civil liberties. More cities must follow Flagstaff's lead, and end their partnerships with Flock and other surveillance companies.
Flagstaff City Council votes to end use of automated license plate cameras
The Flagstaff Police Department immediately deactivated the cameras following the vote.

“On Dec. 4, four people who have been in the country lawfully for years had their oath ceremonies at Faneuil Hall canceled by Citizenship and Immigration Services officials.”

They don’t want legal immigration either.
“A group of people who were ready to be sitting in these very seats, raising their right hand to swear an oath to become citizens were turned away at the door because of their countries of origin, stemming from the hateful policies of this federal administration,” said Mayor Wu.
Faneuil Hall immigrant oath ceremonies were canceled due to ‘hateful’ Trump policies, Boston mayor says - The Boston Globe
Michelle Wu spoke Tuesday at Faneuil Hall, where on Dec. 4 four people had their citizenship ceremonies canceled at the last minute.

Honestly, as someone who loves the Oscars, watches it every year, and has YouTube but not cable, this change is smart and makes sense. I’m sorry!
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Oscars will move to YouTube in 2029, departing the film awards' longtime home of ABC.

Tomorrow, the House of Representatives will vote on a bill that bans gender-affirming medical care for any transgender person under 18, and threatens any medical professional providing this care to youth with 10 years in prison.

Tell Congress to protect trans youth and vote NO.
Protect Trans Care Now
As wave after wave of extreme measures to criminalize and strip trans people of rights and safety continue, tell Congress to act.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.

The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

Thread.
It's so obnoxious when someone has a good take that's stated in such a way that it makes people argue against it reflexively. It IS ridiculous that more kids don't take the bus to school. It IS a terrible overreach that kids aren't allowed to ever be unsupervised, even on like a 10-minute walk.
