It's clear that a huge chunk of Trump supporters, if not the majority, want to deport ALL non-citizens. It's not just the very small fraction of undocumented folks with criminal records. All of them. Documented or not. No criminal record. Children. Doesn't matter. All of them.

This is an amazing essay; it puts the "creative" in "creative nonfiction"; the way it riffs on the whole metaphor of "the cloud" is devestatingly great. This was the first submission we ever got from Guam and I'd bet my left hand it won't be the last. Brilliance seeds brilliance, art begets art

Building upon that, I’ll just say the LAPD has the opportunity to do something HILARIOUS tonight.

A federal judge halted Trump’s order to cut funding for LGBTQ nonprofits, protecting DEI programs and services for transgender communities.

So shines bravery in the land of cowards.

Michael McCallion teared up upon hearing the verdict that cleared the guards he said had assaulted him in prison; the judge suggested that he needed to put it behind him and move on. “With all due respect, your honor, I can’t,” he said.

The hypocrisy...

Russia’s latest Cosmos satellite, in low Earth orbit, is now near a US government satellite, raising alarms. US Space Command suggests the satellite could be an anti-satellite weapon (ASAT), contrary to Moscow’s claims that it's just a "neighborhood watch" satellite. (via Breaking Defense)

@datlow.bsky.social good evening

DUDE! Has anyone in the history of ever had a cooler knife than this, by @shawnr.bsky.social? I think not. Can't imagine how it's possible, especially since I'm holding it in my hands now--surely gonna cut myself with it soon, knowing me. Check the first reply here for the coins. Amazing work.

🚨👀 massive drone attacks targeting Russian long range bombers deep inside Russia.

I have a friend who is an exvangelical and she put it very succinctly: “We don’t believe anyone else is human. You are not people to us.” Once you understand this CORE BELIEF and put it into context with the fact that these folks are running our country you can understand clearly their motivations.

Joni keeps digging - checks notes - at a cemetery?

Joni Ernst thinks it’s hilarious that some people are worried that health care cuts will kill people. I think under those circumstances karma dictates something very, very bad should happen soon to Joni Ernst. Fatal car crash, pancreatic cancer, whatever, I don’t think we should be picky.

BREAKING: Joni Ernst doubles down and posts fake apology in a cemetery, Missouri town that voted for Trump turns on him, Donald Trump refuses to read intelligence briefings, and ICE ramps up operations. All the news you missed: open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...
