From a dear comrade who was kind enough to let me share their video. Veterans stage a sit-in on the US Capitol steps and say, “Military off our streets!” Hell yeah!

Nazi shit. Visceral, actually existing Nazi shit. Gestapo. Secret police. Randomly inflicted terror against targeted groups in centers of opposition against an illegitimate, minority regime of masked men in brown and green uniforms. Actual, real life, nazi shit and it's home grown All American.

I'm excited to partner with Pingree Detroit in debuting this stunning wooden dice tray: Modular design with a recycled seat belt liner and recycled leather for dozens of color combos. Reclaimed wood by local ASW Detroit. A one of a kind piece that's 100% sustainable and 100% Detroit! 1/2

Some cops are going to outright kill some protestors soon, and it will be important to remember it's the way cops and the rich and Trump have funded and stoked collective fantasies of authoritarian murder that will have caused those deaths, not the protestors or any ways of protesting

I did not see this, but since I'm doing belated burning Waymo takes today, I'll just say: sympathizing with technology over humans is a deeply troubling sign of sociopathy. In case it wasn't already obvious, A16Z is a hive of profound and malignant mental illness.

Our family is having to deal with this phenomenon too, at least it hasn’t entered very dangerous territory yet. But there are big problems that could be resolved if at least the LLMs stopped being so accommodating to a person’s delusions.

"I didn't forgive then, and I don't forgive now," Malcolm Graham, whose sister was killed in the 2015 Mother Emanuel shooting, told me. I wrote about the 10 years since the attack — and some families' belief that the focus on forgiveness has cost them justice. capitalbnews.org/mother-emanu...

ICYMI! A thread of some of the most powerful passages from Judge Breyer’s opinion ruling against the Trump admin. (The Ninth Circuit has stayed the order for now as it reviews it.)

Fun fact about Kristi Noem is she’s been barred by tribal governments from setting foot on most tribal land in South Dakota (where she was governor) because she sucks. She’s not even fully assimilated into the society that exists within the borders of the country she longs to expel people from

Legal question: If Trump's call-up of the National Guard was illegal, then what authority did (and does) the National Guard have on the streets of LA, where they brutalized and injured dozens of protesters.
