The husband & I started our annual giving process a bit earlier than usual. We more than doubled our donations to food banks & increased our civil liberty donations. We're fortunate to be able to give more this year. It's brutal for a lot of folks out there. All of us who can, should.

📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms).

It’s also concerning. 1/

PSA: we're aware that Signal is down for some people. This appears to be related to a major AWS outage. Stand by.

My image, "Rings of Time", took 3rd place in photography at the annual Keller's Got Talent local art show. 1st time I've put any of my photography out there, so I'm pretty happy. The show runs through 11/20 at Keller Town Hall, Keller, TX. Stop by if you're in the area & see all of the local talent!

Framed photo hanging on a brick wall with a card & white rosette ribbon attached to the wall below. Photo shows a clock face emerging from a tree stump.

White rosette ribbon on a brick wall. Printed on the ribbon: 2025 Keller's Got Talen Public Art Show and Competition Third Place.

Sad to have missed being at a No Kings rally, but happy for Grace to have repped both the mastiff breed & Keller at the 6th AKC Fast CAT Invitational in Wilmington, OH last week. She's gotten older, heavier, & slower (haven't we all!) but still loves to chase that "bunny".

(Trump sucks. Fuck ICE.)

A wide banner "O SO FAST in OHiO" running from the front left corner of the frame diagonally to the middle. A smaller banner "City of Keller" is suspended under its far half. A man and woman stand at the end of the banner, with a fawn mastiff dog sitting in front of them, looking toward the camera.

A fawn mastiff dog with black mask lies crosswise on a bed facing to the left, head turned toward the camera. A green banner with white trees & lettering "City of Keller" hangs behind her. Six rosette ribbons are draped over the front of the bed in front of the dog, five to the right are light blue, the leftmost is much larger and is black with blue and green.

The violence is coming from ICE, not the protestors, not in Chicago, not in Portland, not anywhere. The only "war zone" is in Donald Trump's demented brain. Impeach. Remove. Incarcerate. And take all his sycophants with him.

David Dayen @ddayen.bsky.social · 22d

So this is funny.
The administration just issued a rule slashing foreign agricultural worker wages. And to justify it, in a public filing, Trump's Labor Department alleges that Trump's immigration enforcement has devastated the Ag workforce and caused a "risk of supply shock-induced food shortages."

Trump Labor Department Says His Immigration Raids Are Causing a Food Crisis

In a filing in the Federal Register, the Labor Department argues there are “immediate dangers to the American food supply” due to a lack of migrant agricultural workers.

Mourning those murdered by Hamas isn't incompatible with mourning those murdered by the Israeli state.

Demanding that the hostages return isn't incompatible with naming & demanding an end to genocide.

Naming the power imbalance & impact thereof doesn't desecrate those murdered two years ago today.

Had a great time at Pride Kel-So yesterday despite a Southlake cop herding me away from the protester with the bullhorn. Hey, I was only trying to tell him about the mental health professionals who could help him with his obsession over other people's genitals & sexual activities.

What an utter disgrace. Noem's actions to "vacate" Secretary Mayorkas' grant of TPS over the direct command in the statute that no early termination can be done was flagrantly unlawful. And yet the majority offers not a SINGLE word of explanation for why they think she could do that.

Shameless!

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down.

All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown.

So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

Trump says he’s authorized Hegseth to use “Full Force” against Antifa in “War ravaged” Portland

At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists. I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
