I’m a drug use researcher and I’m here to assure you in very strong terms that blasting boats to smithereens is not an “anti-drug strategy” in any way, form, or fashion.

If the Premiere wants to pass legislation to force teachers back to work, I would love to see the ATA as a whole ignore that legislation. That won’t happen of course, but I’d love to see them do it.

Something I have now, that didn’t have before my career, is the feeling of dread and the feeling of “I’m not coming back” that I have in the days leading up to traveling. Even when it’s a destination I’m excited to get to. I *hate* this fucking feeling. Thanks Bin Laden.

This completely misses the point.
I was once whining to a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist that one of my key sources had cut me off. She said: "Access is overrated." And indeed it is. The press is not likely to miss out on any crucial Pentagon stories just because they can't roam the corridors.

I *still* don’t think Americans truly appreciate the damage that’s been done to the fabric of their society & their country. This isn’t a few people. This is the kind of thing that - eventually - results in Truth and Reconciliation tribunals in other countries.
New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.
Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”
