Just spent 30min FaceTiming w/my very upset 24yr old daughter who is feeling overwhelmed by the avalanche of BS.

Some Dad-mode advise I gave her that you all should take (and give to your overwhelmed peeps):

- try not to react to every bit of news; they want you overwhelmed.

- call 5 friends to check in on them; ask them to check in with 5 friends. Rinse repeat at least once a week.

- your job is to reenforce/bolster/rebuild your communities/networks

One foot in front of the other.

Last year I cited ADL data to show that 100% of antisemitic hate is from the Right & 0% from the Left. ADL then censored its own data to hide the fact that antisemitism is largely a right wing issue

So, zero surprise to see ADL now whitewash Musk’s repeated Nazi salutes

BREAKING: Trump has revoked a rule prohibiting ICE from arresting undocumented immigrants at or near "sensitive locations," like schools, places of worship, hospitals, & shelters."

We need to act

'Fake Christian is mad': Trump mocked over his national prayer service criticism https://www.alternet.org/trump-national-prayer-service/

Gladys had been married to a banker, theatrical producer, vicar and is now getting hitched to an undertaker. It was one for the money; two for the show; three to get ready and four to go.

For more than a decade, federal agencies have issued guidance against carrying out immigration enforcement efforts in places like schools and medical centres, on the basis that such raids might discourage people from seeking necessary services.

But in Tuesday’s statement, the Trump administration accused that guidance of serving to “thwart law enforcement” efforts.

“Perhaps the executive order will lead to paper maps and student handbooks showing the Gulf of America in the United States. To the rest of the world — including the US military that adheres to international naming conventions — it'll be the Gulf of Mexico.”

I drove my daughter to MMA tonight. As we're pulling into the parking lot, she removed her headphones and asked me what I was listening to, old ass rap?

I informed her that yes, I'm listening to old ass rap because I'm an old ass man.

I have a small portable electric heater that's made to look like a mini fireplace, little animated flames & everything. My cat, Elliot, is curled up in front of it on a blanket Mom crocheted herself.

He's content, and he's comfortable, and he's saving some energy for tomorrow's battles.

Do yourself a favour. Have a drink of water, stretch your bones, shut down the electronics, and get a good night's sleep. The battle will still be there tomorrow, but you'll be better equipped to fight.

68 #rats were just surrendered at Guilford County Animal Shelter in central #NorthCarolina. If you're in that neighborhood or know someone who is, please consider passing word along! Rats are awesome companion critters. You could adopt some.

In a speech to Europe’s elites at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy sharply urged many of the countries funding his nation’s defense against a Russian invasion to take defending their own homelands more seriously. @CNN has more.

If you don't have $ for a HEPA unit and/or you need something small you can take places as our society continues to be in denial about public health needs, you can build a Corsi-Rosenthal box small enough to take with you to a motel, the dentist office, etc.

So why are so many MSM headlines just saying that Trump kept his word? Less than half the story.
