Everyone is currently acting like it’s his normal gibberish, but also maybe American planes are in the air right now shooting down Venezuelan aircraft, and there’s literally no basis to believe either because the president is insane.

If they ever get around to building this thing, it should be bulldozed on Day 1 of a new administration. No messing around, no hemming and hawing about procedure or costs. Order heavy equipment in and start knocking it down immediately, as surely as an overthrown tyrant's statues would be torn down.

A central issue at trial for the My Lai massacre in Vietnam was whether an Army lieutenant, or the Army captain who was his superior, was responsible for the order to leave no survivors. Neither suggested the SecDef would have given such a command.

That Eli Lilly Alzheimer’s commercial was some depressing shit.

Remember the woman a Border Patrol Agent shot? DOJ just dropped the case.

One of the people arrested on September 27 at Broadview was a 70-yo Air Force veteran who was hospitalized with his injuries from ICE assault. First charged w/felony, then misdemeanor. He was going to call Greg Bovino at trial. It just got dismissed. www.courtlistener.com/docket/71489...

"I was trying to help my mom,” said 13-year-old Jayleane, shaking, as tears streamed down her cheeks. “I saw they were pulling her hair. They had the gun in front of me. I was scared.”

An excellent review of three important books about the web, how it was captured by a new class of oligarchs who turned it into the opposite of Tim Berners-Lee's vision. www.nybooks.com/articles/202...

Because once we get rid of Trump, we need to have laid the groundwork for reversing this, for saying, "remember when we could have nice things? Well, the way to get that back quickly is to fire the kidnappers and rehire the cancer scientists."

Grateful to spend two days on the Klamath watching chinook, liberated by dam removal, return to streams from which they’d been precluded since the Titanic sank. Fish are everywhere, in numbers that stagger the mind & locations that biologists figured would take years to repopulate. Too beautiful.

We're all going to write pieces about what you can learn from tonight but it's actually pretty simple: The frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It has proven impossible to vigorously engage with a social-media platform like Bluesky, and yet successfully avoid all Matthew Yglesias content. It was the same on Xitter. Blocking is futile. His superpower is to compel many, many exasperated people to relentlessly shove M.Y. screenshots at me.

The charge being, "Assault With A Deli Weapon."

Defense tells judge they want to question Lairmore about 'gag gifts' he received from fellow officers after the alleged assault, including a Subway sandwich plush toy and a patch that (unless I misheard) said 'Felony Footlong.' Prosecutors object. Defense argues they reflect CBP 'state of mind.'

"The detainees were... driven to an industrial area where they were loaded into vans and spirited away. One carpenter ran when he saw the patrol. When the agents caught the man they seemed surprised that he was able to prove he was legally in the United States. "'Why did you run?' the agent asked."
