Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country.

Otherwise, it’s just racism.

I have seen Boz twice (?) in Newport. And several other times as well. My all time favorite performer. Always a good show.

When I think about the millions of people I’ve crossed paths with over the last decade, there is such a through line of loss.

But of the lamentations they’ve shared with me, the greater mourning I have sensed in people is the loss of their former selves.

Do You Miss Who You Were Before All This? I Do.

Today, a friend I hadn’t seen in a while sent me a text saying, “I miss you, John!”

Musk’s team was caught using a customized version of the Grok chatbot, without approval, to sift through sensitive government data inside the Department of Homeland Security. They used a modified version in an attempt to hide the fact that they were doing it.

One of many diversions we may see today. Just so we don’t see what’s happening in Congress.

I believe this is a procedural thingy. Ask Sen Booker’s office why he did it. Similar thing happened in the House.

The Trump-Supreme Court battle is not really the crisis.

The crisis is here now. Trump is enacting an insidious coordinated attack on our institutions of democratic accountability, designed to crater democracy before next fall.

You gotta be kidding me. No one should be forced to create an account on X to boost Elon Musk’s numbers just so they can get info about the Social Security benefits they paid for.

The Social Security Administration Is Gutting Regional Staff and Shifting All Public Communications to X

The SSA’s shift to Elon Musk’s X comes as the agency plans to cut its regional office workforce by roughly 90 percent, WIRED has learned.

It’s a recalibration of economic control.

Oligarchs don’t live paycheck to paycheck. They have the capital to buy market dips and recoup faster, acquiring more assets at fire sale prices along the way.

When the dust finally settles, they will own more.

The rest of us will own less. A lot less.
