An honor to talk to Dahlia Lithwick about the policy + legal history of US citizenship & migration. It is horrifying that my book drops as SCOTUS decides the constitutionality of the birthright citizenship stripping EO. What U don't know about this history can shape your support for present law. 1/

In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is 2 or 3 days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis.

They might be trained to do some job, but it’s not to act as an occupying paramilitary force. Shut ‘em down. Hard stop.

when Trump wants to invade Greenland and blow up NATO cause he didn't get a Nobel Peace Prize we are deep into 25th A territory. He is stark raving mad.
BREAKING: Former John McCain Advisor Mark Salter:

Post from Amanda Gorman’s Instagram that says amandascgorman Minneapolis, Minnesota For Renee Nicole Good Killed by ICE. on January 7, 2026 by Amanda Gorman They say she is no more, That there her absence roars, Blood-blown like a rose. Iced wheels flinched & froze. Now, bare riot of candles, Dark fury of flowers, Pure howling of hymns. If for us she arose, Somewhere, in the pitched deep of our grief, Crouches our power, The howl where we begin, Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater Of the worst of what we've been. Change is only possible, & all the greater, When the labour & bitter anger of our neighbors Is moved by the love * better angels of our nature.
Amanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.
Lol how can you tell this administration is lying to you? Because oil hasn't been shipped in actual barrels in over a century

I was at a fishing lodge, enjoying a drink at the lounge and trading fish tales when it finally dawned on me the other angler was pitching great Tom Seaver.
I put a 36” GE Profile induction cooktop in and it’s a champ. I bought the extended warranty for peace of mind, since I hadn’t purchased a cooktop since 2002.
Hey! Remember when Barr (Bondi) withheld the Mueller (Epstein) documents for weeks so he (she) could mischaracterize what was in the Mueller (Epstein) Report and spin the findings for three weeks and then over-redact them? I sure do!

Our need for caregivers in this country is only growing. As one who spent 6 years caring for a loved one with dementia, this article felt true.
A long read, but against the backdrop of David Brooks’ Friday column in which he was “over” the Epstein files, it illuminates. How the Elite Behave When No One Is Watching: Inside the Epstein Emails www.nytimes.com/2025/11/23/o...
Media should, yes. But he’s going to be taking questions and schmoozing a ballroom full of people who haven’t been hand picked or paid for the privilege. And all of us know how he’s touted his military background as part of his climb.
That would be a good question to ask Sullivan when he’s at the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce Make it Monday lunch next week.
I am so angry and sad about this. Draconian staff cuts at KYUK in Bethel are an incalculable loss for the region and indeed all of Alaska. #AlaskaSky #PublicRadio
I made a Starter Pack for people enjoying their retirement. Now I don't know if they are all enjoying it, but it does say retired on all of their profiles. 😁 They are all nice people and active. Please like, follow, and share. 😁

Yes, because the thing about girls is that they don't stay girls for very long. Which makes them disposable. And which means that men like Epstein need a huge supply.
