I'd much rather be on the beach than dealing with Captain Chaos. Trying to keep my head up with birds and sunsets and my new tribe on 💙 sky.

I've got to say, this weekend, from students preparing for finals at Brown to Jews celebrating the festival of Hanukkah on Bondi Beach...it felt as if Yeats' awful vision were coming true:

"The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned."

13 years ago, 20 children and 6 educators never came home from Sandy Hook Elementary School. They were killed in their classrooms in a shooting that changed our nation forever.

Thank you James. Every year since you died, you managed to give me a beautiful sunrise on what was the worst day of my life.

My day in four photos. My little town does this great winter event, #southoldstroll I got to hang out with three of my favorite people, eat wonderful food, drink great wine and eat cookies. It was a good day.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is free!!

The Trump Administration should never have denied due process and deported him—it was a grave injustice.

So good to see him freed from ICE custody today.

According to the gospels Jesus was a political refugee fleeing for his life

Mary & Joseph took him to Egypt to escape Herod's Massacre of the Innocents

They lived there till Herod died

What if Egyptian soldiers had profiled them as Jews & deported them back to Israel

No Christianity

Listen to Pete Buttigieg.
Buttigieg on Indiana: "The big part of how Trumpism works is to make you feel totally disempowered. To make him feel inevitable. And yet the clear takeaway from this is he is not unstoppable and you are not without power."

There is an outrageous outbreak of measles in South Carolina, mostly among unvaccinated members of a particular church. Does anyone have a sense of who they might have voted for?

Just a random congressman purchasing half a million dollars in Netflix stock a couple weeks before they announce a potential merger with Warner Bros.

I spoke to Rep. Fields about it this afternoon. Will have more in my newsletter tomorrow presspass.thebulwark.com
