I hate to be that guy, but this is the five-alarm fire, and every elected Democrat and frankly, every Washington reporter should be ringing the bell. If it can happen to him, it can happen to anyone. Nobody with a voice should give this administration a moment’s peace about it.

While I'm definitely in the B bucket and love my TREASURES, taking the Antarctic Lifestyle Challenge where I had to reduce my life to 150lbs, plus whatever I could cram in a small shed at my parents' house, occasionally causes twinges of "I have too much crap." www.funraniumlabs.com/2011/02/anta...

A science fantasy story where an actual de-extinction occurs. Field biologists go out to work and suddenly there are Carolina Parakeets, alive again with no explanation. There’s no sinister reveal or conflict arc, the entire story is just happy biologists enjoying the now-alive, thriving parakeets.

It occurred to me not everyone gets to experience spring peepers, so here's what it sounds like (and actually also looks like, since I live across from a pond just like this in Pennsylvania) right now at my house: www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4Yk...

Exiling people beyond the protection of US law without due process is not only unconstitutional, it's a rejection of the entire American revolutionary project. Sending people "beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences" is one of the grievances enumerated in the Declaration of Independence.

Change is possible! Transportation agencies can build things other than highways, and planners can plan things other than exclusively detached single family home neighborhoods. There is more progress to make but this is fantastic

Atwood specifically said she didn't put anything in the book that hadn't happened before, somewhere. Things shouldn't have to happen to white people before they feel "real" to us.

If an administration can get away with falsifying social security records to target individuals, then there is no bottom. There's also no such thing as a "citizen" because that can be changed with a couple button presses too. Mark your SSN and passport as dead then ship you to El Salvador.

Good way to see the current tariffs, as of literally today, is no tariffs on high value add manufactured goods marketed to middle and upper middle classes. Massive tariffs for cheap consumer items which amount to the biggest economic privilege of working class/middle class life in US.

It seems like the goal is to get rid of all knowledge in this country, so let's deal in this valuable commodity. I'll share this: Today I learned that Debussy's Le Mer symphony was inspired by Hokusai's Great Wave Off Kanagawa, which he had hanging in his house. open.spotify.com/album/0Zby80...

Last weekend in Chicago, 1500 historians gathered for the Organization of American Historians' conference where leading scholars discussed little things like, oh, the fate of democracy. I guess if we add some horny Nazis next year maybe CNN will come out and listen to what we have to say?

It is very good question and one I’ve been asking for months. If there is an international agreement with El Salvador for these renditions, the Trump administration is legally required under the Case-Zablocki Act to share it with Congress. To my knowledge, they have not done so.

Shame on Planned Parenthood of Arizona for dropping their trans patients because of threats from Trump. What happens when they make you stop providing abortions? Birth control? PReP? Gonna roll over then too? These orgs complying are cowardly.

There's no reason--none, zero, nada--to think feeding your pet these raw pet foods is a good idea. No creditable authority on pet health backs this. It's 100% grift. It's someone trying to make money off of your gullibility. Don't do it.

Okay. NOW I’m leaving to avoid the bullshit eugenicist “have kids/don’t have kids/have the right kind of kids” discourse. If you have the means, please consider a book in my absence. It means the world and helps us stay afloat.

People ask--why isn't the US having more babies? But the better question is--why are we still having so many? And I'd say the answer is--we groom girls for motherhood as soon as they can hold a babydoll, limit their other options so it's more appealing, and force them if they won't go willingly.

And it moves the Overton window either way. Once the outrage turns to us sending US citizens to Salvadoran gulags, no one has the energy to fight the undocumented immigrants or visa holders being sent there anymore, with or without criminal records or due process
