This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

At Thanksgiving dinner tonight, one of the guests I sat next to had an ankle monitor. The ankle monitor was forced on him by ICE after they kidnapped him a few months ago and refused to release him until he agreed to wear it. He has been in the US for 9 years on a legal work visa

When Trump issued a massive pardon for those involved in his efforts to overturn the 2020 election, he may have accidentally pardoned a lot of other people who committed voter fraud too. Oops? www.spotlightpa.org/news/2025/11...
Double-voting suspect claims Trump election pardon applies
Legal scholars say the suspect’s claim stems from “sloppy” language in the president’s proclamation.

Extremely good long read on how prisons shape local economies and politics. So many moments of clarity where the absurdity of the prison-as-industry proposition just slaps you in the face
The construction of prisons in rural areas can create relationships in which residents ultimately become engulfed by incarceration. “The prison almost begins to imprison the community in a way,” says a prison researcher.
The Prison Next Door
