I just told my wife to convince me not to buy this amazing Ghostbusters car lego set. I sent her a pic and I hope she intervenes. Image
None of you are helping me right now.
It is mine. I am weak. I am so happy. Don't judge me. Image
The 1989 Batmobile, the new A Wing and the Sesame Street corner set were tempting me as well so I had to flee quickly before succumbing to the siren songs.
I just got home and showed my son. His exact quote:

"Whoa. Baba...this...is...the best...Lego set...ever! Awesome!"

I win Baba points. Success.

The pandemic has exposed our country and ourselves. I have permanently lost respect for many friends who have revealed themselves to be selfish, reckless and inconsiderate.
On the flip side, my respect for others has only increased, especially front line health care professionals and workers and fellow Americans who wear masks and stay at home just to protect their communities. My kids make me proud. They get all of it and wear masks. Ages 6 and 4.
The reason why I don't mind being judgemental and preachy on this issue is that we have a 4-year-old immuno-compromised daughter who survived Stage 4 cancer. We've been wearing masks and distancing since March. My parents haven't seen her or their newest granddaughter yet.

Op-Ed Pieces

1. What do Republicans need to do to win over the majority of American workers? Why have they failed?

2. How do we change structural disadvantages in our democracy that almost negated a historic Biden popular vote win?

3. What does this country owe Black voters?
4. Why do the Democrats keep chasing Karen when Stacy (Abrams) always delivers for them?

5. How does Whiteness affect some POC who keep voting for those committed to their erasure?

6. How can Biden heal the nation while tackling a countermajoritarian extremist Republican party?
7. When will media and Democrats figure out how to report and reach out to "Latino" voters and also realize they are not a monolith?

8. How did the Native and Latino voters in Arizona mobilize and help deliver the state for Biden?

9. Why did so many white experts miss Trumpism?

OK, I add @waltshaub to my optimist posse with @cmclymer. Who else? Just breathe. It will take hours to count the votes. Biden inshallah will win.
Adding @yashar to the tribe of calm optimists urging patience. We've got him and Schaub and Clymer.
Adding @lauferlaw and @ThePlumLineGS

Some good news. Today is the 1 year anniversary of our Nusayba's liver transplant. She had Stage 4 cancer. Thanks to a call out, an anonymous donor @ShawnZed stepped up & donated a piece of his liver to save her life. This is a photo of when Nusayba woke up & met her brother. Image
This is a recent picture of Nusayba rocking her princess dress and mask (she knows what's up). She has gone from a dozen medications down to just 3 as of this week. A huge victory. She's happy, healthy, fierce, tough, & weird as hell. She wasn't supposed to live, but here she is. Image
Please consider being a liver donor. The liver GROWS BACK. You can save a life. Talk to hero @ShawnZed. He's healthy & doing well. He saved a girl's life & now has a badass Mercedes scar. Keep rooting for @SarahAWildman's daughter Orli who just survived cancer & has a new liver.

Race and Violence as a Fox News debate? Great, I'm all for it.

1) Why does Trump underplay the threat of white supremacist terrorism, the #1 domestic terror threat?

2) How is he cracking down on Boogaloo Boys groups who killed cops in the Summer & other white power groups?
3) Does he still believe the Nazis and KKK who assembled in Charlottesville are "Very Fine people?" and "both sides" are to blame?

4) What's the strategy to crack down on white power extremist groups that have flourished? What "Law and Order" policies did he create, if any?
5) Does Trump denounce QAnon, a domestic terror threat according to his appointed FBI agent Christopher Wray? Why not? What is he doing to crack down on it?

6) Why did Trump support, praise and invite Marjorie Taylor Greene, a QAnon supporter and anti-semite, to the WH?
