this is all to say that should democrats win the house and senate this november, they should hold similarly dramatic — which is to say televised and highly publicized — hearings on the conduct of ICE and CBP, with testimony from victims. we want as much of *this* as possible in the record. (3/?)

On the contrary, I think the pictures of "green monkeys" on the loose are real. One of them even shot someone.

NHL expansion idea: Sacramento Serpents - King snake logo and serpentine-patterned/colored jerseys. Kinda ties in a sac Kings reference at the same time as being unique.

If the DEA had killed 80 innocent Americans in the course of apprehending one drug dealer, there would be riots. But we are so ghoulishly indifferent to the lives and humanity of people abroad that it's barely even part of the conversation.

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

Two things can be true: Maduro is a vile despot who stole the election & has caused unimaginable harm & trauma to Venezuelans, including economic collapse & mass migration. Trump’s invasion of Venezuela has nothing to do with helping Venezuelans & everything to do with Trump’s own power.

About 95% of California’s old-growth redwoods have been logged, leaving younger, less diverse forests. A pilot project is restoring canopy fern mats — key habitat high in the trees — and scientists say these mats also buffer heat, helping salmon, birds and other species adapt to warming.

It appears Elon-Twitter has deleted all my old tweets. Probably because the last thing I wrote there was essentially "If I leave this platform it will be because Elon Musk messed it all up".

Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

Gotta love some downtown grunge. #photography

Some friends invited me to take photos downtown tonight in probably the worst conditions imaginable. They're not likely to be good... but they do have the potential to be cherished. We'll see.

I would love it if the storms/wind would let me sleep. The good news is there isn't any flooding here (afaik/can tell).

By cutting the programs that track health and safety statistics across government, our dictator has robbed us of hard data to prove mass harm caused by other cuts.
