Judge gives Trump the finger...
Federal judge has ordered the release of Liam Ramos (the bunny hat boy) and his father. A brief and rather remarkable order. Clearly written to be shared widely, so please do. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Ya can't toss The Ring into Mount Doom without going to Mordor.
In reality, life is very messy and it's good to use whatever tools are at your disposal to advance whatever cause you're fighting for. Sometimes tools that are bad in one situation will be good in a different one
Anyone who doesn't see why making the DHS look very stupid is good is deeply unserious

Interestingly, DHS has about 80,000 LEOs....
Trump wants Congress to fund 44,500 additional ICE detention beds and massive warehouse facilities for immigrants capable of holding 80,000 people at a time.
Your tax dollars.
Abolish ICE now.

I know the words to "California Dreamin'", but this son of an English teacher always sings 🎵 "I'd be safe and wa-arm
If I WERE in L.A...."

🎵 Yellow Ledbetter — Pearl Jam
Nobody knows the words.
🎵 Dancing Queen — ABBA
Half the planet sang wrong.

@alexbores.nyc , pick up the pace!
I'm blown away. In the first 48 hours, more than 37,000 people helped us raise over $1 million.
People know the stakes of this moment, and I'm so grateful to everyone who has chipped in to help us fight against Trump and for New Yorkers.
Thank you. Let’s keep going.

Excellent! One system-wide improvement you should consider funding is upgrading the HVAC filtration to at least MERV 13 (preferably 14) over the current MERV 7 so passengers can breathe better air.
✅ As of November, the program generated $518 million in toll revenue. That funding will support major improvements across the entire MTA network.

Somehow I wrote *a thousand words* on the WIP that's serving as procrastination to keep me from finishing my other WIP. I'll take it either way!

When I started working in an office in the 90s, I noticed and often said (and have said ever since) that “people don't mature past the 7th grade.” Now people say “everyone is 12”, and it's perfect.

Completely unrelatedly, I've been working on the Benny Hill theme ("Yakety Sax" by Boots Randolph)....
“A clarinet player was arrested after playing her instrument to the tune of the ‘Ghostbusters’ theme song outside of a Portland ICE facility…”
Musician playing ‘Ghostbusters’ outside ICE facility is arrested by agents
‘Taking us citizens out of state to detain them without charge is a new action from the Feds and should be opposed,’ her band said
