“The Pope from Chicago quoted Hannah Arendt on fascism, who herself long taught at University of Chicago‘s Committee on Social Thought,” is an amazing true sentence.

Tip for any journalist dropping in. Head over from the south going north. This Willamette River view is off a very nice new pedestrian path less than a quarter mile behind the ICE facility

lots of traffic crowd control sequences with this same conclusion. gates open for patrol to march crowd away to clear entrance, cars leave/enter, guard returns inside. Rinse/repeat.

This morning I was filming ICE abducting sometime in Petworth. One of the agents told me "the last US citizen that did this he put in cuffs all the way to the courtroom".

I literally just turned in a round of edits to my editor at Bloomsbury for my book about the founding of JPL and the Suicide Squad, and this is painful to see.

JPL has been responsible for some of our most incredible achievements in science, and this is going to set us back.

What an offensive statement from so-called historians. There have been others who have been chased out of the country. Mohamed Abdou was deported for his teaching about Gaza…and he was a prof AT COLUMBIA! But he was queer, Muslim, brown & untenured. Do only white straight tenured profs get sympathy?

A bunny in the wilderness cooks a stir-fry over a portable stove. It is evening, and he's hung up a tarpaulin nearby for a campsite. A chipmunk and a raccoon wait eagerly for their food.

I tried to talk to Joni Ernst about Medicaid. She didn't listen

Tara Guion: As soon as I mentioned how Medicaid cuts would hurt families like mine, Senator Ernst passed me off to a staffer.

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.
