Kid is unexpectedly spending the night at a friends, so wife and I are making a late night trip for ice cream and settling in to watch Love on the Spectrum. I share this only because in times like these you gotta take the small joys where you can.

I was indifferent to David Hogg but now that I know Carville hates him I'm HOGG MAXXING. I'M HOGG WILD.

Seems like the precursor to violating the rights of US citizens—call us terrorists as justification. Also, DARVO tactic of calling others what you are to neutralize their criticism. They are national security threats who are terrorizing Americans so they are reversing victim and offender.

Okay I’m increasingly convinced at least some of the people sent to CECOT are either dead or permanently lost in the system

Honestly I'm glad they picked Harvard to try out this novel "we're mad" legal theory of revoking tax-exempt status, given its infinite resources, deep network of powerful alumni, and law school attended by 142 sitting federal judges. Good luck! 🫡

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Man films and confronts two suspected undercover ICE officers (potentially NYPD) after they racially profiled and handcuffed a random civilian. Keep doing this shit. Make these fuckers famous. Make all police and immigration officers fear having their faces known to the masses.

Hahaha absolutely fucking not.

lol I love this for us

Trump tried to bury this story on a Friday night, but it’s extremely important: He’s planning to take land on the border controlled by the Dept. of Interior and sign it over to Dept. of Defense so migrants “would have trespassed on a military installation,” resulting in harsher punishment.

Love to see it

4Chan was hacked, its source code was leaked, admin emails were leaked, AND a lot of registered users used their real names and .edu email addresses. Lotta CHUDs getting exposed to sunlight today.

Folks! Something shiny & new has happened. I called Sen Van Hollen’s office and thanked him. I called Sen Alsobrooks and via VM, said, “You’re going down to El Salvador with Sen Van Hollen, right?” Then I figured what the heck, let me call Gov Wes Moore’s comment line too…and a staffer picked up.

how bout that

Probably one of the most useful things political scientists could do right now—especially ones who focus on US politics—would be to talk very specifically about what actions or levers are available to folks trying to slow or stop the reactionary slide beyond lawsuits and street protests.

republicans are disappearing people under the guise of fighting antisemitism and can’t even pretend to give a fuck when a jewish governor’s house gets firebombed on passover

As Americans learn about supply chains the hard way, I imagine it will remove the sheen from high end brands and thus their high margins as well

Venn diagram of Americans who utter phrases like “act like a guest in this country” and make awful guests when visiting other countries is a circle

Imagining her putting on her favorite red lipstick to go hold that sign

So this is what we are dealing with: Rando guy on FB states that the Constitution applies to US citizens only and not immigrants. I reply that he must have failed social studies, then click on his profile. He is an 8th grade social studies teacher.

A CRNA in wife’s anesthesia group sent an email to the group saying she was moving to Ghana permanently. The US is going to lose so much talent, not just academic.

Have been thinking lately that by the time our 10 yo is college age, going to a US university may not be desirable. So many assumptions for our longer term planning that I never thought I’d have to revisit.

I don’t know how some of y’all are excited about Black Mirror. Reality is unsettling enough for me.

New Orleans

Wife and I starting to have conversations about creating some flexibility to leave if need be. No decisions or plans but just to simplify our lives here should we make the call later.

It’s easy to find answers when you just make them up

After interacting with enough Trump voters on FB through my family members, I do in fact wish they get what they deserve and I have no intention of welcoming them with open arms or whatever it is people say I’m supposed to do. Someone else can be a bigger person. It ain’t me.

Left them a couple of comments on IG

New Orleans friends: have you seen this book at MSY or elsewhere?

great day for insider trading

Cynicism may seem cool when young but is just sad when you retain it into middle age
