THE MAN THEY TOOK WRAPPED IN A BLANKET IS A U.S. CITIZEN.
This is the Kavanaugh Stop of all Kavanaugh Stops.
This is the Kavanaugh Stop of all Kavanaugh Stops.
Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket.
He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War.
Notice the suppressors

This could be the unified Dem position. It is wildly popular. Puts the regime on defense on two fronts at the same time. Good policy, good politics.
The Congressional Progressive Caucus, a group of nearly 100 House Democrats, will announce later today that it's formally endorsing legislation to strip $175 billion from ICE and put it toward affordable housing. www.huffpost.com/entry/doj-fe...

Condé Nast forgot to renew the trademark for Gourmet and so a group of journalists grabbed it and are relaunching the food magazine as a worker-owned co-op. Love it. [gourmetmagazine.net]

Gourmet is a worker-owned publication about food and the people who make and consume it.

This is appalling: Top DOJ officials are actively pushing for a criminal investigation into the widow of Renee Good, leading prosecutors to quit en masse, NYT is reporting.
Who in the White House ordered DOJ to do this? That's the next thing to establish.

Back when my appendix tried to explode and kill me in August, I was cared for by some amazing nurses at Cedars-Sinai who are ALSO extras on HBO’s The Pitt! This made me so happy as it’s my favorite show on TV.
Season 2 starts Friday! You should binge season 1 before then if you haven’t already. ❤️

A nice thread in which an actual expert patiently explains why the Secretary of Health and Human Service is not simply a liar, but an especially stupid one.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy

I almost failed geometry for the year but my grades were strong enough at the beginning that my awful grades at the end didn’t take the overall down to a fail and the teacher told me I “played the game very well” and I was like Hey man this was not a strategy, I got dumber as the year went on
