A group of interfaith leaders in California is marching 96 miles from an ICE processing center in the Mojave Desert to Downtown L.A. to protest ICE and demand a shutdown of "all detention centers."

Whenever you see a pollster or consultant give a take like this, it’s always worth following the money. In this case, Emanuel has paid Anzalone’s firm nearly $300k (maybe more but that’s what I found so far). A consultant class is devouring the Dem Party www.elections.il.gov/CampaignDisc...

Underestimate @RahmEmanuel at your own risk.
He knows how to win. He knows how to fight.
And he knows how to message.
And no one will out work him. Regardless of whether he wins the Democratic nomination in 2028 he will make an impact on the race. You can be sure of that. Don't take your eyes off of him. At the minimum, learn from him.

In case anyone was still in any doubt that trans people have always existed, here's a delightful account of a trans man called Emanuel from 1634. The author even gets the pronouns right! [There are a few more...]
Of the changing of Sexe,

Matus Lufitanus reports that in the village Esquina, there was a maid named Maria Pateca, who at the appointed age for her courses to flow, had in stead of them a mans yard, lying before that time hid and covered, so that of a woman she became a man, and therefore laying aside her woman's habit, was clothed in mans, and changing her name, was Called Emmanuel ; who when he had got much wealth by many and great negotiations and commerce in India, returned to his country and married a wife, but Lusitanus said he did not  certainly know whether he had any children, but that he was certain he remained always beardless.

My deep, lifelong skepticism of holistic medicine is driven by my reading of Baby-Sitters’ Club #3 The Truth About Stacey, and I genuinely think we would be well served by creating children’s media that says, It doesn’t matter if your parents are scared, vaccines are good.

I’m at the dentist with my oldest and they just asked me if I wanted him to have fluoride, and I was like, obviously because I’m not a moron, but then I realized he might have told them I said I keep his baby teeth because what if a witch finds them? so I guess it’s a fair question.

This is probably the most relatable thing I’ve ever read about parenting a teenager.
“He listens patiently to all of our advice about the smart way to go about all of this, and then he says some calm variation of “It’s not that I don’t believe you, but I would rather try it this way, and learn for myself.” And then, inside of myself, I scream, Then what the fuck good has my entire life been.”

Here's another example from the court record of Mark and Phillis, two enslaved people from Charlestown who poisoned their enslaver in 1755. The AI summary says they are "described as a man and woman." That's not true. They're described as a "Negro man" and "Negro woman." It's important context!
