“I think” is how a system run by a king or a dictator works. Here, we have a rule of law that says no one, and that includes the government, can murder people on a whim because it “thinks” they’re up to no good.

But actually it's interesting to consider how astronomers told Native Hawaiians that they had to accept the Thirty Meter Telescope on their land because it counted as progress but don't like it so much when Elon Musk tells them this about satellite constellations in low-earth orbit 🔭
Planned satellite constellations may swamp future orbiting telescopes
Planned orbital observatories would see satellites cross nearly all of their images.

What an embarrassment Hakeem Jeffries is. The charges against Cuellar were so "thin" that two of his assistants had already pleaded guilty and were set to testify against him. Jeffries has got to go.

Welp, Jeffries is about to be put on loop in right-wing media, in case you still had confidence in his political instincts in which case you really ought to ask yourself why.
Jeffries: "The border is secure. That's a good thing. It happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course he'll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration, there's a lot that's left to be desired."

The NY Times said Trump labeling Somalis as “garbage” was “shocking in its unapologetic bigotry.” Then NYT put the story on Page 13. When Trump called for “termination” of the Constitution in 2022, NYT put it on Page 13, too. In case you wonder if NYT has learned anything in the last 3 years. 1/🧵
