This Thanksgiving I’m remembering and honoring my Dad. He was a math professor at what once was NMC, but now is MSU-Northern. Every Thanksgiving he invited the foreign students to eat with us. We gathered around the make-shift table on sawhorses in our basement.

So far my favorite Thanksgiving message.
Combatting poverty and hunger in this city will take every single one of us. Myself included.

May their family and friends find some comfort this holiday season. I grieve for them.
This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

How is a sick kid a most dangerous criminal?
A new federal directive by Mehmet Oz allows the sharing of Medicaid applicant data with DHS effective immediately, rescinding previous “interagency integrity” firewalls. This forces mixed-status families into an impossible calculus: access life-saving medical care or remain invisible to enforcement.
NEWS: Medicaid Data Now Flows to ICE
Effective today, a new federal directive allows immigration enforcement to access state healthcare enrollment data, TPS ends for thousands of Burmese war refugees, plus Kristi Noem explainer video.

Yep.
If people want to understand why American politics went bananas in 2012, the reason is that the moderate black President took a modest but consequential step toward decoupling healthcare from employment and every billionaire immediately poured their entire portfolio into race-hate media

Yep.

It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.
Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

Where the h e double hockey sticks are the DEMS?
Another day, another TEN missed opportunities for the DNC to speak on behalf of Dems about the abomination of the day.
Mark Kelly shouldn’t have to defend himself alone.
The DNC, the national Dem PARTY should be speaking up for him and the other members of Congress all over the place.
WHYYYYY
