Was at the Olive Garden with family and was just kind of zoned out while we waited for our food. Waitress walked Hy and then stopped and asked me if everything was alright, because my "face just looked really upset." I replied I was fine, that's just my face. 🫣

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

Rick Steves is the best human.
It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is.
It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.

This NYT story failed the reader by not digging deeper. One subject dropped out of college after one year (five years ago) and lists "Windows" as his skillset. Story should be: young conservatives who blame immigrants for their personal failures and whose lives won't be improved w/ fewer immigrants
