Good. (Actual headline: One guy made decisions without checking with EVERYBODY ELSE to whom he was accountable and by the way has a lot to learn about who is impacted by platforming hateful voices and, again, to whom he is accountable.) (Because he STILL PLANS to bring this guy some other time!)
Jewish Left Conference Dumps MAGA Provocateur Curt Mills After OutcryThe intellectual leader of MAGA’s anti-Israel wing won’t appear at the conference.jewishcurrents.orgThe apathy, the condescension, the nastiness in this. The disgusting thing he said about wheelchair users is below this somewhere in the comments. And to think that LeVar Burton could have been hosting Jeopardy. SMDH. What a way to lose people who might otherwise support your show.
Ken JenningsThis may be true of others but I actually got express permission from the trans community to keep NYT games and recipes. I also have a news subscription, which is arguably worse, so I had to specifically send in a written request. Took 30 days but I got approved.
We should be naturalizing 100s of immigrants at a time instead of deporting 100s of immigrants at a time. Immigration is a very good thing, and we should facilitate it on a massive scale.
Dave ByrnesHappening now: Chicago immigrant advocacy groups are holding a presser outside the city's immigration court to address "mega master" hearings: These are first appearance hearings where 1 immigration judge can address 100s of cases at a time, as part of the Trump admin's push to rush deportations.
The presser has wrapped. I caught up with a few speakers afterward. Ex-immigration judge Sam Cole argued for the immigration court system to be broken off from the DOJ. "You need to make the court an independent court. That's the only way to protect due process," he said.

White Baby Boomers have hoarded so much, exhausted so many resources, their progeny will NEVER receive social security. Medicare and Medicaid are eliminated under Project 2025, so we don’t expect to enjoy those benefits either. Millennials and anyone younger never expected we’d get these benefits.
Frank AmariOn this date in 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed amendments to the Social Securities Act (1935) that established Medicare and Medicaid.
Reminder that the Golden Age of Comics began in 1938 when a couple of Jews started making stories about fighting evil. So many of the people in power now seen so much like cartoon villains bc those archetypes were literally created after some of the most horrific human beings of our known history.

The big issue with extraordinary responses to horrific government actions is that this admin has near-infinite resources, and is willing to bankrupt America if need be to carry out harm. Individual humans can’t always summon up the reservoir to respond. Victory in courts and elections is critical.

ACLU of Northern CaliforniaTSA is alerting ICE about travelers with expired visas. An Oakland woman was detained recently before her flight home from Denver.
