Aboard the 2 flights that deported 190 people back to Caracas last week were 2 people who'd deserted #Venezuela’s military. The Trump administration delivered them right back to the dictatorship. The feared Interior Minister says, “They are being given the appropriate treatment.” Well done, folks.

It’s taken me forever, but my feature on last fall’s #KTREX burn on Karuk territory in N. California is coming soon. And I’m glad it’s coming in the wake of the #LAfires, a spectacular example of our terrible relationship with fire. The Karuk show that a different way - a better way - is possible.

AZ's Democratic senators are supporting a GOP-led bill that mandates federal detention of undocumented immigrants accused of theft-related crimes like shoplifting, even without a conviction or formal charges, and that gives states broad standing to sue the fed. government over immigration policy.

Attorneys say the parole program would have been a lifeline for thousands who already qualify for a green card, and have no disqualifying criminal record, but who risk separation from their families if they petition for legal status. It was struck down last month by a Trump-appointed federal judge.
