Big protests going in Iran, and the state is trying to put them down with force, already killing 3. I don't know where this is going, and the Iranian government has survived big protests before. But whatever happens, it's admirably brave when people take on violently repressive regimes.

On this day 134 years ago, Jan. 1, 1892: Ellis Island opens as America's primary gateway for immigrants, which it remains for over half a century. As immigrants have chosen to become American rather than merely happening to be born here, surely they should be considered the true heritage Americans.

It is kind of wild that no big media outlet has busted open the story of who is making DHS' posts on X. Whoever that may be is certainly plugged into hardcore white supremacist internet propaganda with a harder edge. "Groyper" would be underselling it. This is Daily Stormer-tier sludge.

The most telling Bari Weiss incident came when "The Free Press" excused George Floyd's murder,
@radleybalko.bsky.social
highlighted factual errors, and Weiss's reaction was not to make corrections, but to invite Balko on a podcast. There is no truth, there are no standards, there is only content.

Generally I don't like the idea of sending in the military, but much like with gerrymandering, Rs aren't going to stop unless they experience the same thing they want to do to Ds. So until they agree to a truce, blue states should erase every red district and draw up plans to occupy Oklahoma.
