Get yourself a senator willing to rescue you in a foreign country after your messy president wrongfully deports you… …seems like a sentence I shouldn’t have to write in 2025 but here we are. Senator Chris Van Hollen leaves for El Salvador tomorrow to initiate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

CPTV American Masters has a show on Art Spiegelman and it’s got extensive interviewz and it’s excellent. The Black Book of Polish Jewry - found on his parents’ “forbidden book” shelf - was formative for him. It’s too kind and poetic to say such ugly history rhymes.

We have a bunch of kids at our house playing. School vacation. Over lunch, they debated the name change to Gulf of Mexico. There was some strong sentiment for Gulf of Central America. It felt good to hear what they had to say.

TIL an acronym: A-SWE, meaning Agentic Software Engineer.

This is as wonderful as the real thing. But a different kind of wonder.

Here are some nice mushrooms

So much is crashing in so many ways that we won’t know the landscape for a while.
