I'm kind of in awe of the ability of the judge to put out a 36 page opinion in such a short time. I realize he has help & they started as soon as he got the case, but that's still only a few days.

The Trump administration has been ordered to return control of the National Guard back to California. The correct decision. And a win for the rule of law.

A lot of "we will not let this stand" and "we will not be intimidated" but not a lot of exactly what these people will are going to do to stop it.

Today I accompanied for four people’s cases. Luckily, no one’s case was dismissed, & all moved forward in the process for legal status. Legal observers noted ICE was noticeably absent from the federal building today. This is an evolving situation, but I’m committed to showing up for our neighbors.

Ron Killings cutting off his dreads live on Netflix was something else.

The only protest violence described in this article by the Chronicle is two people trying to smash a door with a sledgehammer. Ain't no way 150 people wielded those sledgehammers. So I call bullshit on Mayor Lurie's statement about "protest violence". πŸŽπŸ”— www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

There's already two resolutions for impeachment in the House. H.Res.353 (Shri Thanedar) and H.Res.415 (Al Green). Thanedar's has 7 articles of impeachment as of 5/13. Green's has just 1. Thanedar was to have made a privileged motion about his, but that appears to be on some parliamentary hold.

For some reason, I thought the protest last night was around the immigration court at 100 block of Sansome. So I avoided getting a bagel at Boichik this morning in case there was a remaining police presence. Looking at the address of the main protest though, it appears to have been 5 blocks north.

[space coven] Mary Robinette Kowal: listen up, boys! Kowal: I've got a story for you... the story of the lady astronaut! Kowal: that's right Kowal: a lady wants to be an astronaut Kowal: how about that?!

I have decided I am no longer going to try to make my hair look good at longer lengths. It's a buzz cut at least until i go bald enough on top to pull off a mad scientist look.

A presentation at the Sound Transit board meeting today drops the news that ST is working to roll out open payment and the ability to pay by tapping credit/debit cards ahead of next year's World Cup events.

Don't worry, no one uses this bike lane that connects the Rainier valley to the CID and downtown Seattle

No ethical consumption of Harry Potter.

Trying to appease Trump doesn't work. Appeasement to him is a signal he should squeeze harder.
