lack of good judgement extends to not thinking this would get out and not getting ahead of the fact that in the age of the internet it most certainly would...

Oh God, I am knee deep in my own work on white Christian nationalism this morning because I want to sound like I know what I'm talking about when I talk to a reporter.

Y'all, I have been researching this stuff for 19 years.

You know who learns real quick to identify racist tattoos, for the sake of their own safety?

Black servicemembers.

You NEVER spoke to the actual campaign issue. You just defended the nazi tattoo. You didn't even commit in your defense of your preferred candidate.

AdreanaLangston @adreanalangston.bsky.social · 2h

And you never once addressed the ACTUAL issue. Which is that Fetterman AND Senema worked a playbook where they get voted in for acting Progressive then once elected, vote Regressively. People are legit concerned that past statements and never removed tattoos may mean Platner is running the same play

Lyle, your problem is you won't commit. You defended a guy with a Nazi tattoo. You could have anticipated the response. COMMIT. Say "Fuck all of you guys. I STILL think Platner would make a good representative who will vote for policies I like" . Instead you're complaining about the reactions.

speaking of the ACA, I'm so old I can remember when Joe Lieberman killed the public option, and Ezra Klein accused him of being "willing to cause the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people in order to settle an old electoral score," and the entire DC media fainted simultaneously

Drives me nuts that things like bike lanes get painted as luxury goods or harbingers of gentrification when making it easy and convenient to get around your city by bike could save low-income households thousands of dollars a year.

One of the less discussed harms of car-centric planning is that it imposes a serious financial burden on working families. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/20/b...

Trump claims the power to murder supposed “narcoterrorists” by fiat, without trial or evidence. In what is surely an unrelated matter, he is also calling his political opponents “terrorists”. We are nine months in.

Kinda seems like whether or not the president has the power to assassinate people with no due process, no input from Congress, no review, no oversight, and with no obligation to provide anyone with any information or evidence other than “trust me” is an important test of our democracy.

Heartbreaking: Neo-soul legends Angie Stone and D’Angelo both passed away in 2025, just 7 months apart. Stone died in March at 63. D’Angelo died today at 51. They shared a son together. An entire generation’s soundtrack, gone. Rest in power to both 🕊️💔

Please remember that the disgust people have over Christopher Columbus is not based on some modern, 21st century “woke” ideology, but rather on contemporaneous accounts of atrocities that make many modern genocides appear quaint in comparison.

Below, are the accounts of Bartlomé de las Casas.

But too many of the slaves died in captivity. And so Columbus, desperate to pay back dividends to those who had in-vested, had to make good his promise to fill the ships with gold. In the province of Cicao on Haiti, where he and his men imagined huge gold fields to exist, they ordered all persons fourteen years or older to collect a certain quantity of gold every three months. When they brought it, they were given copper tokens to hang around their necks. Indians found without a copper token had their hands cut off and bled to death.
The Indians had been given an impossible task. The only gold around was bits of dust garnered from the streams. So they fled, were hunted down with dogs, and were killed.

After each six or eight months' work in the mines, which was the time required of each crew to dig enough gold for melting, up to a third of the men died.
While the men were sent many miles away to the mines, the wives remained to work the soil, forced into the excruciating job of digging and making thousands of hills for cassava plants.
Thus husbands and wives were together only once every eight or ten months and when they met they were so exhausted and depressed on both sides... they ceased to pro-create. As for the newly born, they died early because their mothers, overworked and fam-ished, had no milk to nurse them, and for this reason, while I was in Cuba, 7000 children died in three months. Some mothers even drowned their babies from sheer desper-ation.... In this way, husbands died in the mines, wives died at work, and children died from lack of milk ... and in a short time this land which was so great, so powerful and fer-tile... was depopulated... My eyes have seen these acts so foreign to human nature, and now I tremble as I write....

Is this, and this is not snark, a case where community drone training would be useful ? I got a drone on TEMU for under 50 (US) that takes decent video and can fit in my backpack. Could people just stand a half block away from ICE activity and record it from above with a drone?

This morning I was filming ICE abducting sometime in Petworth. One of the agents told me "the last US citizen that did this he put in cuffs all the way to the courtroom".
