Setting aside the question of whether the US should get involved in Iran, telling a city of 10 million people to evacuate immediately and then announcing you’ll make a decision about bombing the area in two weeks is not exactly the kind of decision making you’d expect from a true stable genius.

It's worth reflecting today on what it took to end legal chattel slavery in the US. And it's worth remembering that the work stoppages of enslaved workers in the south crippled the Confederacy and were the largest and most effective labor action in US history.

It’s not just about the people who have been taken by ICE. The local economy around Dodger Stadium has been decimated as Hispanic and Latino community members (even American citizens) are terrified to go to work. Grassroots orgs want Dodgers to help local businesses getting destroyed by ICE.

Credit to a friend of mine in California who’s a real one. He’s on a whole hotline and everything to help the people being dragged away by ICE. I know most of us are posting through it and posing fictional problems for ourselves, so this is refreshing and I appreciate it.

Starship blowing up is a bigger deal than you think. It’s not a prototype in a sandbox anymore, it’s a $4B NASA contract to land humans on the Moon ($2.8B initially, $4B with follow-ons). Every explosion is taxpayer-funded hardware going up in flames.

Sayed Naser served as a U.S. military interpreter in Afghanistan. Now he’s being deported. The Taliban assassinated his brother and kidnapped his father. All because he helped us. Why are the feds trying to deport him, even though his asylum case is still pending? Not justice, it’s a betrayal.
