The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

Starting off my writing year for @treblezine.bsky.social with the return of post-rock project Pullman.
Pullman's first new album in 25 years, 'III', is their shortest and most abstract, but a fascinating headphone trip all the same

This oped presents lies about "sanctuary cities." First, "sanctuary cities" are a local sovereignty issue. Arguing that you can punish local jurisdictions for polices you may not like is a neo-Confederate argument based on ideas that immigrants/ non-whites (+ supporters) cannot govern themselves.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Your regular reminder that there is no legal path from martial law to suspending elections in this country.
That doesn't mean there is no path. It just means that we need to reject the framing that the federal government has any legal authority to cease elections.
