The White House slams Texas Governor Greg Abbott for busing migrants north into frigid snowy conditions: “Governor Abbott abandoned children on the side of the road in below freezing temperatures on Christmas Eve without coordinating with any Federal or local authorities”.

As a human rights lawyer who has done extensive immigration work, let me make something absolutely clear.
Asylum is legal immigration.
There's no "port of entry" requirement.
There's no "visa" requirement.
There's no "first country" requirement.
You enter the United States, and you apply for asylum.
Because asylum is legal immigration. Period.
Period.

I gave a glib answer when my daughter asked what I wanted for #Christmas . I now have world peas.
Today is my first test of the reporting system. I found an antivax post on my feed, looked into that person’s posts, and immediately came across not only more antivax accounts but racism and anti-queer bigotry complete with some vile slurs. I reported a few accounts; time to see how those kinds of things are handled on #Mastodon and the applicable servers.
All right, I’m getting used to many of #Mastodon ‘s quirks, but I’m still bummed about an unexpected feature: the lack of thumbnails when I or others post links. I don’t know why it matters so much, but I just have a complete disinclination to click on a bare url, I can’t really QT someone into my feed even if only to add context and hashtags, I can’t swipe from other social media sites without directing traffic to them, and sharing news stories looks like a feverish forum post.

Muslim mathematician Muhammad ibn Musa Al-Khwarizmi is known as “The Father of Algebra” so here's a "halal" way to say Merry Christmas to our Christian friends :)
Via @helmickeymouse
Christmas songs be like, "I am happy. It is snowing now. It is snowing and I am happy. Things never get better, every year is the same, but today I am happy. Nostalgia will keep me alive. Nostalgia will keep me safe. These are tears of joy. This is healthy. Everything is fine."

Somehow Uvale keeps getting worse. The egregious police delays cascaded into delays getting medical responders in place to help anyone, and the complete lack of leadership was catastrophic for coordinating their resources.

Face Recognition Tech Gets Girl Scout Mom Booted From Rockettes Show — Due to Where She Works
"Conlon is an associate with the New Jersey based law firm, Davis, Saperstein and Solomon, which for years has been involved in personal injury litigation against a restaurant venue now under the umbrella of MSG Entertainment."
Imagine the reaction if a wartime leader who emphasizes being in this together with his armies fighting an existential struggle and his people freezing in the dark glided in in a tailored Armani suit. I’m sure he would have been beyond criticism then.
Apropos of nothing, here’s Churchill visiting the White House in plain war fatigues:
