Today should be your 38th birthday.. When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..
Alex's mom on his 38th birthday.

Sesame Street is now offering tips for parents on post-trauma comfort because the federal government is physically and mentally abusing our country's children.
Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.
βTrainingβs not going to fix this,β said Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas). βThis is really going to be a deescalation of people thinking they can harm agents or get away or evade. It has to be a point where people understand when theyβre being confronted by an ICE agent, thatβs at the end of the road. Thatβs not the beginning of the due process, itβs the end of the due process.β
When an ICE agent confronts you is "when your due process ends," says the member of Congress from the largest border district.

What can history teach us about what happens when a populist strongman with an idiosyncratic taste for low interest rates undermines central bank independence?
List of all the years the polite Blue fascist party happily gave ICE huge amounts of money.

The vice presidentβs comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith, writes digital editor John Grosso.
We need those who claim to be βleftβ to stop punching down on the disabled, covid cautious and immune compromised.
Masking is resistance.
Itβs community care.
The ruling class wants you sick and weak so you wonβt fight back.

NEW: Without USAID funding to help buy food for refugees, the World Food Program rushed to prioritize families based on need, determining that only half the population would get food.
Refugees learned which half they were in from a number stamped on the back of their ration card.
NEORSD when can we walk with you into this wastewater eclipse.
I know many things are awful but here is one genuinely useful and helpful thing you can do. No matter their party, your representative needs to hear that trans people and our families are not alone and this bill is an unjustifiable and extreme threat to criminalize the health care we need to live.
New! We worked with the Public Interest Research Group to test a bunch of LLM-driven toys ahead of the Christmas. That sexual talking teddy bear wasn't a one-off; it turns out disturbing behavior is deeply built into these toys across the board.
