So I'm helping a kid I know with some college applications and I have some thoughts. My friend has a GPA of over 4.0 and a star in track and cross-country. She grew up Black in a white rural town in CA--oh and she's homeless. She's living with a friend's family.

There is no more important New Year's resolution, and it begins right now: pray for John Lewis.

Of 759 records I retrieved today, 583 were missing status and status date. Since Public PAIR barely operates, there is no effective way to efficiently retrieve status information on applications of interest.

Idea: Hessian sacks. We each get one. When it’s your turn to receive a gift, the giver drops it in the sack, so you still get to “unwrap” it without all this pointless effort (and environmental waste).

Big Gift Wrap will lobby against it, but Christmas becomes more efficient.

Everything outside of nature has been invented, even fonts. Born Dec 24, 1910: Max Miedinger 🇨🇭(d: 1980) was a typographer & freelance graphic designer. He created the Neue Haas Grotesk typeface in 1957 (renamed Helvetica, one of the world's most widely used fonts, in 1960).

There are many creative ways to include more views and perspectives in our policy making. We have an opportunity to hear needed voices.

Last I checked, treaties are listed right next to the Constitution and statutes in the Supremacy Clause as the “supreme law of the land.”

So how about “will Congress abide by a 184-year-old legal obligation”?

So, this appears to be an argument for public financing. But, like the terribly failed @DNC debate protocol, one must really think through exactly how it would work.

Trump demands that Democratic Rep. Carolyn Maloney, who supported impeachment, return his old campaign donations: "Give me back the damn money."

[James Martin, SJ @JamesMartinSJ]

Pilate had Jesus beaten and whipped, thrown into jail overnight, marched through the streets carrying his cross, and then nailed to that cross until he died. Comparing the treatment received by the President to what Jesus suffered is absurd. Also, only one of them is sinless.
