Andor thoughts. Remember the female Rebel communications officer in Empire Strikes Back. Toryn Farr is the character listed in WOOKIEEPEDIA. Her Legend story was good but What if she is actually Kleya and took the new name to hide from the Empire. #Andor #Kleya

The Nation was spoon-fed documents from a bad-faith Republican House committee and covered them as if they were a scandal. The more I look into the lab leak the more shocked I am at how desperately the media tried to launder the theory into something respectable. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Great story from @sam-karlin.bsky.social about just how many rural communities in Louisiana are facing water systems on the verge of a breakdown. Water is brown, murky and lots of federal $$$ still has not been enough to fix it. www.nola.com/news/louisia...

New: a man 'disappeared' by ICE was not included on a government list of people deported to El Salvador's mega prison. But we found his name in a hacked flight manifest to the country. Raises questions about how much the government knows about who it is deporting www.404media.co/man-disappea...

If guilty people don't have Due Process rights, then innocent people don't have Due Process rights, because we don't know if they're innocent or guilty until we have a trial or hearing.

It's important to understand the position of the US government in this case. They are arguing no court can have habeas corpus jurisdiction while they are randomly moving political prisoners about the country. These are the actions of a secret police. These are the actions of a Gestapo.

The forced removal of thousands of honorably serving trans service members is one of the most sweeping acts of government-imposed bigotry in modern times.

This is an annotated version of Trump's interview on ABC News. You won't have to listen to his voice or see his face. I break the 40-minute interview down to two minutes. As usual it was a festival of lies.
