Write it down. Tell the story of this time in your own words. All too soon, people will try to re-write history, their own complicity in these horrors will be scrubbed away. But take a pen, take to the keyboard. And write. Remember for the rest of us.

Enjoyed this movie. The soundtrack was my first exposure to the fantastic band DeVotchka. www.devotchka.net.
They are currently touring playing a tribute to the music of Little Miss Sunshine. Highly recommend!

The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023.
The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets.

Man, I love Chicago. Spent five years there. Met my wife there. I never doubted they would stand with us here in the Twin Cities
Good afternoon from downtown Chicago, where despite heavy snowfall, thousands have gathered for an anti-ICE/CBP demonstration in solidarity with the Twin Cities. More are still streaming in.
Lt. Illinois Gov. Juliana Stratton just addressed the crowd, and called for ICE to be abolished.

Top two articles are about ICE abducting a 5 year old and a 2 year old.
Below that, news about a historically large protest and general strike.
Then articles detailing how ICE lies about their actions and how the White House makes/publishes fake images about the anti-ICE protests.

Yesterday, I drove refugees that had been shipped off to Texas all the way back home to St. Paul
Seeing them reunite with their families reminded me this is their home.
So keep sending them to Texas. I’ll keep driving ‘em back and introducing them to Bucc-ee’s and KC barbecue along the way.

If you are interested in why so much flu this year, or any other flu/vaccine info, this article is a good place to start. You may not get all the answers you want but you get a good sense of what we are up against
One of the most honest answers in medicine remains: “We just don’t know.”
Especially true for the flu -- timing, transmission, vaccines, all still full of surprises.
