Not sure what else you'd think, but: views my own, travel deals posted as PSA, RTs not endorsements - except for the dogs. Those I endorse.

ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl.

Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist.

They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed.

Another horrific story.

More details below.

The landlord stayed up all night reviewing security footage to help the police find the suspect.

Feels worth pointing out that in googling him to learn more, I found out that the landlord is an immigrant who came to America in 1979 from Belarus. www.boston25news.com/news/local/l...

The ACA isn't just "health care for people who don't have a conventional employer." It also disallows something that was incredibly common 20 years ago, which I fear is getting lost to generational memory: insurance companies could deny you health care for essentially any previous health problem.
I'm dubious about Amazon's commitment to keeping pre-existing conditions a thing of the past.

Happy Hanukkah to our friends who celebrate. Rachel Posner, a rabbi’s wife in Kiel, Germany, took this photograph in 1931 -- a potent reminder that fascism must be fought in every generation, even if it's wrapped in an American flag and a red hat.

The anti-Semitic mass shooting in Australia will cause a national conversation and policy change. We know this because the 1996 Port Arthur massacre led to significant restrictions on guns.
The shooting at Brown will do nothing. We know this because it occurred on the anniversary of Sandy Hook.

I’m gonna tell my kids about this guy today, and use him as one of my examples when I explain how I interpret Mr. Rogers’ “look for the helpers” quote.

Being a helper comes in many forms, but spontaneous action to help your neighbor at your own expense is the distillation of it.
