Request for #AfghanEvac help. One of my interpreters is in bureaucratic limbo with his SIV to enter the US. I'm running the traps on that. Where he needs help: Organizations that fund the execution of leaving the country - medical exams, visas to get his family to Pakistan, etc. Any ideas?

The way Argentina finessed American taxpayers should be studied The U.S. gave Argentina $20 million to save their free-falling economy and Argentina turned around and cut tariffs for soybean exports to zero. Then they sold their soybeans to China shutting out American soybean farmers

Yesterday, we honored the firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice protecting Californians. Since 2002, more than 1,500 names have been added to the California Firefighters Memorial in Capitol Park—including five from CAL FIRE this year. Their courage and service will never be forgotten.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A. ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why. A judge has ordered his immediate release. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This is a big deal. Japanese society has historically been very misogynistic and by historically, I mean as of 10 seconds ago. Women are largely viewed as caregivers, men are largely viewed as breadwinners. It's worse there than it is here, so this is shocking to me. I hope she becomes the PM.

The flow of the Colorado River has shrunk about 20%, and its depleted reservoirs continue to decline. But talks aimed at addressing the shortage are at an impasse, and environmental groups say the lack of information about the closed-door negotiations is a problem. www.latimes.com/environment/...

While snow may fly in the Sierra on Friday, temperatures will rebound close to 80 degrees in the lower elevations of Northern California on Saturday, an example of rapid shifts in fall weather.

NEW: ICE is planning to hire a team of nearly 30 people to surveil social media 24/7, build dossiers on people, and flag them for arrest and deportation. @dell.bsky.social has the scoop: www.wired.com/story/ice-so...

Earlier this week, Electronic Arts announced it was going to be acquired by investors—including Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund (PIF). @vrsingh.bsky.social explores the national security risks posed by PIF and why the involvement of Jared Kushner's fund likely prevents a federal review.

USC bought $300,000 worth of dead bodies to train IDF medical staff for a "combat trauma surgery skills" course. Considering the number of people the IDF has war crimed to death and all the hospitals and universities they have vaporized, I have some questions. (The program began before 2023.)

The two candidates leading the race to become the leader of Japan’s ruling party would either be the country’s youngest post-war prime minister or its first female one. Both represent rival visions of change

Three cheers for the Constitution's right to a jury: a federal jury in Los Angeles "took just over an hour to acquit [Brayan] Ramos-Brito of a misdemeanor assault count" in an ICE-scuffle case hinging heavily on the testimony of border sector chief Gregory Bovino, now doing raids in Chicago.

If you notice bad things happening at national parks you visit during this government shutdown -- e.g. vandalism, habitats destroyed, mountains of trash, people getting hurt -- I'm very interested in hearing about/seeing images of what you see. Drop me a note: [email protected] 🙏

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace. That’s not making America great again.

The Justice Department eliminated 275 positions and shuttered its Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces. The restructuring affects 140 federal employees through elimination or reassignment, marking the largest DOJ reorganization in two decades reut.rs/4nxYuUg

NEW: Federal workers had their out-of-office replies changed to an unhinged and probably illegal partisan screed; when they changed them to neutral language, the replies were changed yet again. @leahfeiger.bsky.social and @telliotter.bsky.social have the details:

“ABC7 spoke to Pertissue Fisher, a woman who lives in the building. She said ICE agents took everyone in the building, including her, and asked questions later….’They was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other.’” It can’t happen here, you say. But it is happening.
