"“That law” is the Alien Enemies Act, a 1798 federal statute used in the 1940s to defend the incarceration of Japanese Americans during wartime. It’s now the legal framework to support Trump’s plans to deport some 250 Venezuelan migrants out of the United States."

Devoured @leahsottile.bsky.social's new book, “Blazing Eye Sees All.” The hook is the Love Has Won cult but it’s really a history of fascism and the New Age. Conspirituality is nothing new, woo and hate go way back. Highly recommended.

Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?" Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

"'I use Bluesky, just as I use FB [....] I don't have illusions about our freedom of movement on either. It's really important to get past this, because it'd open up the possibility of a more pragmatic, wider conversation. There's a lot more to connect to than Mastodon & Threads." this.how/bluesky/

Amazing game all around, if only for the dozen or two times Curry was obviously fouled but the refs were, apparently, looking elsewhere. It's possibly he could've broken Klay's record of 14 3-pointers had he not been so beat up by the 4th quarter.

Being insulted and called "ableist" for politely suggesting people try to use alt text, because apparently some people have conditions that make it harder to post alt text is... well... a reason why people stop trying to be helpful.

In January 2023 I drove to Mono Lake via Anchorite Pass (NV/CA border). This is video of my approach on westbound CA167, soundtracked with a minimal ambient piece I came up with while snowbound and ice-fogged in just north of Mono Lake. Good night, Bluesky #ambient #funharm #poconip #music

We watched this last night on Kanopy (free w/library card). It's stunning. Forget a lot of the stuff you thought you knew, or ever assumed, about Baez. Gripping, entertaining, informative, touching, and unforgettable. Highly recommended. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhcV...
