Husband. Father. Fiscally conservative and socially liberal.
From Shane Parrish’s Brain Food (I thought it was so appropriate starting the new year):
Ninety percent of success can be boiled down to consistently doing the obvious thing for an uncommonly long period of time without convincing yourself that you're smarter than you are.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

There are so many holes in DHS’s story it’s nuts. They say this woman was driving her boyfriend’s car, who they claim is undocumented.
ICE pulls her over, see she’s alone, know they are looking for a man, and still handcuff her while she screams “I am a US citizen,”.

It is shameful-and expected-that the Supreme Court has chosen to side with those who seek to undermine our democracy and disenfranchise voters of color.

Yesterday, my sibling learned that a sibling, of their sibling-in-law, lost their appeal & will be sent back to Mexico. The spouse & children will remain here
The trauma ICE is inflicting on families & entire communities, it’s cruel, it’s heartbreaking, it’s criminal
They must be held accountable

Did you hear @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social praised the orange stain for pardoning some Democratic criminals? Rep Henry Cuellar & his wife were indicted in March 2024 for accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in FOREIGN bribes. Hakeem said it’s “exactly the right outcome”.

An official government account using the word “remigration” is not normal. It’s an imported term from European far-right movements that refers to mass expulsion. Democracies do not use population-purification language. #holdfast #SteadyState

I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.
