I had a realization not too long ago that the current political climate makes more sense when you realize the same generation that wrote & watched the horribly rapey 80s comedy movies are the ones still in charge of politics right now.

"The group rallied amid frigid conditions at the Target store on East Lake Street, alleging it allowed agents to stage raids in the parking lot.

'You cannot celebrate our communities on your commercials while letting ICE stalk them in your parking lot'...”

Trump is raw, unbridled greed and avarice. It helps assuage his deep sense of inferiority. What better way to do that than on a global scale.

We should all be alarmed when the president of the United States dozes off during a televised cabinet meeting. Why it's no laughing matter, starting 10 a.m. EST on #Velshi.

Rev. Al Sharpton: What is your level of confidence in the Pentagon leadership now?

Me: None.

We need transparency and answers ASAP. Show the video footage and Hegseth needs to testify publicly before Congress.

Hot tip for writers.

when the ms is perfected, record it (as for an audio book).

Am recording my new book + surprised at how easy it is to pick out the prose clunkers.*

Next time, I will record book before I publish print.

*Yes, I read it aloud. But *listening* is different.

Appeals court rules Trump can fire independent agency members without cause gutting the last bulwark against presidential capture of oversight. They're not "independent" if they serve at his pleasure. This is how democracies die: with judges rewriting "for cause" to mean "for any reason I like."

Release the Epstein files now. Trump will forever go down in history as a pedophile a rapist and a felon so just do it! Get it over with so this country can heal. Y’all are just prolonging the inevitable. 😡

DOGE Isn’t Dead. Here’s What Its Operatives Are Doing Now Contrary to popular reports, DOGE has “burrowed into the agencies like ticks,” government sources tell WIRED.

Contrary to popular reports, DOGE has “burrowed into the agencies like ticks,” government sources tell WIRED.

Here's an idea: Any Democrat who wants to be taken seriously as a presidential candidate in 2028 must pledge to rip this cabal of anti-democracy tech fascists out of our government.

Anyone who won't make that pledge is for the billionaires, not the people. This must be a deal-breaking litmus test.

Reddit post from Inside-Specialist-55 in r/povertyfinance: "I have always went here when things were bad. This year our family could not afford anything nice for christmas dinner so we turned to a local church food bank. I have never seen the line this long at this food bank, This is 4x the size of every previous year. We have only been to this one 4 times since 2017 but this year the line wraps around the building a second time to the left behind those rows of cars. Everyone is freezing and an older lady in line had to be taken inside because she looked like she was about to pass out from being too cold and shivering. If this is a sign that America isnt doing well IDK what is. I am in a small town in Kentucky with a population of less than 4,800 people. Literally 10% or more of the county residents are here. This is insane."

ICE Arrested and Separated Chinese Father From 6-Year-Old Son, Advocates Say The father and son were detained at an ICE check-in on Nov. 26, advocates say. The son’s location is currently unknown, while the father is being held at an upstate ICE facility.

Yuanxin, the 6 year old kidnapped by ICE earlier this week, has been located in the Office of Refugee Resettlement.

This is also where they sent Emmanuel Garcia, the 15 year old autistic boy who went missing in Texas.

It took his mother 50 days to get him back.

We must get Yuanxin out faster.

He called her "garbage" by name. The President of the United States called a sitting US Representative, and a child immigrant from Somalia, "garbage." This can never become normal. WE MUST REMOVE THIS MAN FROM POWER.

A restaurant manager in Minneapolis turned away ICE goons.

We should all keep telling the truth: Sleepy Don is not fit for office.

Also, under Trump and Republicans’ failed policies, health care costs skyrocketed, grocery prices continue to increase and electricity prices are surging.

This is exactly what churches should be doing, calling out injustice.

📌 Lake Street Church Nativity: a bold social justice statement with ICE-like Roman soldiers, the Virgin Mary in a gas mask, baby Jesus zip-tied, Joseph on the ground, pushing viewers to think about immigration.

This is an American patriot.

The decision by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to downgrade its recommendations to protect infants from hepatitis B is a dangerous move that will harm children.

It doesn't matter if you can prove you're a U.S. Citizen.
Without due process there's no one to prove it TO.
And ICE clearly doesn't care.
