In Austin, a 9-year-old watched ICE detain and drive away with his mother, leaving community members to scramble to find him care. Senate Republicans just blocked a bill that would bar ICE from making arrests at school bus stops. Their cruelty is endless.

I am cancelling my appearance this afternoon at Heritage Valley Shopping Center. Unfortunately, I threw out my back yesterday trying to lift a baby. In my defense, he was quite a chubby baby. He is recovering and is listed in stable condition.

Methotrexate is a chain saw to your immune system. Enbrel is a tiny scalpel. I restarted this morning, before my other meds, and INSTANTLY felt better. Go figure. SCIENCE!

've learned something new: No need to hold ENBREL for COVID or Flu shots. That's a bit of agony I could have avoided for the last few years. Prior to my guts blowing out, I had to hold methotrexate when I got shots and always held the Enbrel as well. NOPE.

You don't have an inalienable right to be an antisocial dipshit because you're doomscrolling all day and it makes you feel terrible. There are no qualifiers to this. You are not released from the obligation to try to be decent just because Elon Musk is lighting the world on fire.

Yet another reason why I love NJ: We had fasting bloodwork today, which is annoying (I can get hangry). So, we hit one of our favorite diners afterwards, cuz self-bribes work. The owners and staff are all of Turkish descent.

Another ICE officer has shot and wounded a man in Austin, Texas, who is in serious but stable condition at a hospital after being shot in the torso. Austin Mayor Kirk Watson said he wants the investigation to have the Austin PD involved to provide “clear, third-party eyes."

New — I wrote about this weird thing where people within the Republican party keep being exposed as Nazis and the party then tries to claim each one is an aberration. The facts, as I lay out here, indicate otherwise:

Republicans don’t have a Nazi problem—they are the Nazi problem
A spate of recent revelations have shown the ideologies and their adherents are one and the same.

I see my podiatrist in 2 weeks and we're going to have a gentle talk (He stopped casting things this year, and he'll probably retire in December). Grrrrr.

Because I have psoriatic arthritis (on top of RA), any skin trauma causes a flare. Also, unlike the Ritchie braces that I adore, these are NOT covered by insurance, since a podiatrist did not cast them. It's a very expensive mistake.

Grrrrr. Well, it's been a few weeks, and my new ankle braces are just really inferior to what I have used in the past. I now have blisters on top of my blisters, on top of joint deformities in my arches.

So not only must universities host speakers who are hostile to their mission and members, but they've got to guarantee their safety while doing so? Kirk made a career off the Professor Watchlist, leading many academics to fear for their safety. Do they get to send TPUSA a bill for their troubles?
