Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

Another forever war because people can’t bring themselves to vote for women…

Why Carmel beats Muncie for jobs — and what it means for cities | Opinion There are a lot of Muncies around the Midwest. That's why economic growth has been so sluggish across the Great Lakes states.

What would your city do differently if simply making neighborhoods nice places to live — with good schools, low crime and walkable streets — was a better economic development strategy than tax incentives and industrial policy?

"We must speak loudly and clearly: Casey Means is totally unqualified to serve as U.S. Surgeon General and must be rejected by the Senate. She is a “health influencer,” not board certified in any specialty and not licensed to practice medicine."

I'm told that some leftist bro on another site claimed that Millennials and Gen Z hardly use public libraries anymore. Based on what data? NO DATA.

In actuality, a survey from 2022 found that 54% of Gen Z & Millennials had visited a physical public library in the past year.

kind of amazing that everything trump does can be understood through the lens of narcissism and it's related needs (e.g., self aggrandizement, revenge, domination, grievance validation). i don't think any character has been so one-dimensional, not even wile e coyote or scrooge mcduck

If Your Vaccine Works, Why Do You Care If I Get One? My vaccinated kids are protected. But “protected” and “invincible” aren’t the same thing.

If your kids are vaccinated, take a breath. They have strong protection.

But understand that their protection works best when the people around them are also protected. Unfortunately, that layer is thinning. And it’s worth talking to others, gently, about why this is not just a personal choice.

Just got off the phone with the President of Antifa. They said they have a cell in Florida that set up a fake tailoring shop, where they created this custom garment to humiliate Michael Flynn.

I will. He’s the overwhelming favorite in the primary. The general looks like it’s neck and neck against Dr. Amy Acton, the physician who led the OH Dept of Health in the early months of the pandemic. OH had a pretty sound COVID-19 response for a red state, so a ton of MAGA crazies still hate her.

On Nov. 16, a mental health counselor recorded in Kamilla’s medical records that her mother reported the girl had lost her appetite after being “served food that contained worms.”

A week later, the couple said, children were told to gather in the gym for what they believed would be a Thanksgiving celebration. Excitement spread as families saw tables set with turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, they said. The children waited expectantly. But when a parent asked when the celebration would begin, Oksana said, staff told them the holiday meal was for employees, not detainees.

The children, she said, watched despondently as the feast was packed away.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

If my followers have been inspired by the fierce resistance the Twin Cities has put up to ICE, you should make it a point to take a trip here (April through October 😬), enjoy the wonderful things MN has to offer and support our small businesses. It continues to be a really tough time for them.

JUST IN: A federal judge has barred ICE and DHS from using taxpayer information provided by the IRS.

Judge Talwani says that DHS' view that noncitizens lack 4th amendment rights — combined with ICE use of administrative warrants — is a recipe for abuse.

A multimillionaire thinks that paying down the national debt is so important that all the poors should get into the workforce earlier, work in it harder, and stay in it later to help pay it off.

It's the only possible way to do it!

If you attend church this morning, I hope it’s one that addresses the inhumanity of recent executions by ICE.
