I've never studied political science and I've never been media-trained so maybe I'm wrong but: 1) Dems need to stand up and say: People we all know are hurting . We can, we must, & we will do what Americans do: Fairness, compassion, and protecting those we love. That means:

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

The Mayor of Newark says ICE detained citizens and a military veteran in a warrantless raid there today. www.newarknj.gov/news/mayor-r...

CITY OF NEWARK
=
"Today, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents raided a local establishment in the City of Newark, detaining undocumented residents as well as citizens, without producing a warrant.
One of the detainees is a U.S. military veteran who suffered the indignity of having the legitimacy of his military documentation questioned. This egregious act is in plain violation of the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees 'the right of the people be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures...
"Newark will not stand by idly while people are being unlawfully terrorized. I will be holding a press conference in alliance with partners ready and willing to defend and protect civil and human rights. Details to come."

One rule: Every time you read or hear "Trump did this...", translate to "is trying to do this..." then remember (or even support and join) those who are fighting to block him. Corollary: Ignore all "Trump says he will..."s, and ignore/unfollow all pundits who earn fat salaries goosing our outrage.

Apparently, by owning this major producer of gas and groceries, the US could slash inflation. It will also help the immigration crisis because Greenlandian hordes flooding our borderlands would, at a stroke, technically cease to be migrants

Ancient Egyptian ivory sculpture of a leaping dog. The ivory is now biscuit coloured. Dimensions: 18.2 cm (L) × 6.1 cm (H) × 3.6 cm (W) A lever under the dog’s chest opens and closes the mouth. The inside of the mouth is red. The eyes are outlined in black. Dated Late Dynasty I8, I400-I350 BC.

every so often I feel compelled to point out that interlibrary loan is a goddamn miracle. If you have a library card and can wait a little while, you can have in your hands just about any book you want.* just because there’s going to be another library out there that says “Sure, we’ll send it.” 📚

I don't know if the LA fire department is properly funded or not but the claim that the city cut its budget last year — which is circulating widely on the right — is false. As Politico notes, the budget actually INCREASED by $50 million. A portion of the funding was approved in a separate bill.

That assertion is wrong. The city was in the process of negotiating a new contract with the fire department at the time the budget was being crafted, so additional funding for the department was set aside in a separate fund until that deal was finalized in November. In fact, the city’s fire budget increased more than $50 million year-over-year compared to the last budget cycle, according to Blumenfield’s office, although overall concerns about the department’s staffing level have persisted for a number of years.
