ICE keeps saying the people protesting it are being paid without any evidence, but we have receipts showing that the people *defending* ICE are absolutely being paid.
And yet we only hear lies about the former on cable news.

The lateral entrance grave at Keravel in Roscoff (Finistère) had a 20m long chamber and a 3.5m long entrance passage set at right angles. It had been damaged by late C19 and was described as 3 separate dolmens; what remained was completely destroyed in 1943. #TombTuesday.

This is a warband of lawless marauders, and it's stupid to think of them as an agency we are obligated to underwrite with taxes

Whenever someone says they are “neither right nor left,” prepare to discover that they are so far right it will take your lovely breath away.
I wrote book reviews for a while for the WSJ well over a decade ago, and Bari Weis was my editor. One of her special tricks was to try to insert a sharp rightward slant into my essays *after* it had been copy edited, as a way of slipping her viewpoint in at the last minute.

If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this:
America's problems are solved problems. Just not here.
What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵
