It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

Did the Kremlin write the new National Security Strategy
I turned off the news for 1 day to give myself a break, and came back to this. wtf is going on now?
New US security strategy aligns with Russia's vision, Moscow says
The Kremlin welcomes the starkly worded document, which does not cast Russia as a threat to the US.

I'd also note they already invalidated Section 3 that says that you can't hold federal office if you engaged in insurrection against the United States. These are not judges impartially applying the law. They are racist despots who despise American progress. (3/3)

Our free speech and profit centrism was the back door through which the combination of state enemies who sought to unseat us as the world leader teamed with rich but corrupt and narrow thinking/grandiose neurotypes.

Mamdani: Oftentimes when we win elections, we tell people to go home and just trust us. But the message really has to be that we want you to come along with us… That’s something we’ve been looking to share with New Yorkers: We want to not only win with New Yorkers, but also govern with New Yorkers.

At some point we will catch on that they do not believe it is the government’s job to enable broad-based wellbeing.
Mere weeks away from Jan 1, and the GOP still doesn't have a plan for A) lapsing ACA subsidies, and B) health care in general.
They've had 6 months to figure out the former (inc. a 2 month House vacation)
They've had 15 years to figure out the latter.

Saw Wicked 2 last night and I thought it was surprisingly ambitious, morally complex, and ultimately satisfying. Although that’s a lot of little kids thinking someone chose to get melted.

Is the goal to make more people who live in poverty then?
Anti-abortion groups are pushing to ban abortion coverage for anyone who gets tax credits to pay for health insurance through the Affordable Care Act.
If Congress caves, this would be the first federal ban on private insurance coverage of abortion, and could push care out of reach for millions.

The big sticking point in the White House’s health care proposal
For many GOP members, an expansion of abortion restrictions in Obamacare is a must-have in any tentative health care plan.

If you're in San Francisco, there's a pop-up market this Saturday at 1 Columbus Ave. A bunch of menswear guys, along with shop owners, are selling stuff from their private wardrobes. Some of my stuff will be there. Ticket prices are $30 for 12pm-1pm preview hour, then $5 after 1pm.

Someone asked me a good question on here. How do we stop ICE from violating our constitutional rights. We don't. Our local elected officials do that job. Our Governor, or Sheriffs our mayors, Police. They stop ICE. With force if necessary. That's how you stop ICE from pulling us out of our homes.
