Take a burner or no device if traveling internationally cpj.org/2025/04/cpj-...

I hope seeing Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive will convince some of you to stop preemptively declaring people dead. I know it comes from a place of fear, but cynicism and pessimism can demobilize people and lead folks to give up before a fight is lost. Let's not seed that attitude.

Which director did they kidnap this time?

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

I was a SqlAlchemy naysayer, but I'm a convert now. Reminds me a little bit of C#'s LINQ, though I think this implementation is better/easier. It helps you include the values in your code in an object-oriented way (if you're into that) and you get help from Pycharm's auto complete

A habitable planet with no GDP, no trash, no wannabe tinpot dictators, no debt, no bills, no paperwork, no taxes, no tv, no internet sounds nice. Just me, my girlfriend, my spaceship parked like an RV, living peacefully, relaxing as we watch the moons and the stars while drinking lemonade

And they’re not buying 2-ton trucks from us? Completely unfair. I say we tariff them at an arbitrary 85%

I was talking to a waitress in Bakersfield and she said she used to love the chorizo from a man with a stand around the corner but that one day he was just gone

Just ran straight from the Bernie / AOC rally (actually had to miss some of Bernie!) to my 18 month oncology check up annnnnd STILL CANCER FREE!!

If you ever wondered what kind of people saw the Abu Ghraib torture photos as aspirational rather than horrific, well it turns out several of them are now elected officials serving in the U.S. Congress.

I got the opportunity to see Bernie Sanders and AOC in Bakersfield. It was a great turnout over 4000 people showed up. There was a small counter protest of Trump supporters across the street. They remained peaceful all in all. I believe it was a good day for democracy in Bakersfield. 🦋📰

Montana showing up!!!

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

I do post a lot on here for fun/distraction/venting but also I get a lot done throughout the day. You might be surprised...

Thank YOU for coming out! This is exactly why we do this. One objective of these rallies has been for people in red and swing areas to start seeing and finding one another. There is power in numbers. We also bring local organizers onstage to speak and highlight local issues. It’s been great 💜

Thank you Bakersfield! On a Tuesday afternoon, 4,000 people filled the arena and more than 500 were in the overflow to hear Bernie and AOC speak on the Fight the Oligarchy tour. And Trump won this county by 20 points! When we stand together, we can and will defeat Trumpism.

Attending the Bernie/AOC rally in Bakersfield, Ca. The place is electric!!

Bakersfield in Ruby Red Kern County a full house for Bernie Sanders & AOC. THIS GIVE ME HOPE.

Was just part of the overflow crowd in Bakersfield, CA and @sanders.senate.gov and @aoc.bsky.social came out to talk to us. It was great! Sanders played the hits and AOC talked strategy and organizing. She talked about the strong hispanic community here and how we’re the people that feed the country

Your "dumb little projects" are so important during this harrowing time. Don't forget that. Your creativity has value, for yourself and for the world.

Selling America for parts, from the private equity playbook

Account that writes “no point in trying that” then his profile description is “nihilist.” I’m not exaggerating

It’s ok to be enthusiastic. People need all the encouragement they can muster in these difficult times. We’re fighting a paper tiger. If you’re being negative in response to enthusiasm, are you really “resisting” or just helping the fascists?
