Very disturbed by reports that some agents were not spit upon.
Border Patrol agents are very sad that everyone in Minnesota hates them.

“At each gas station where the agents stopped to use the restroom, groups of agitators appeared, yelled at them, stalked them, and even tried to prevent law enforcement vehicles from leaving…”

Extremely unpopular opinion: AI is really useful for structural, program-building work. Anyone using it just for gen AI “writing” is using it for its worst/lowest possible use. Of course it’s not a good copywriter. But it’s really good at synthesizing and structuring data from multiple sources.

Call me. Call me immediately. I will call you.
Let tonight be a lesson to all of us: Make sure you have established your own, and are aware of your loved ones', advance directives.

Do you want to be awakened from your slumber when It Happens? Or do you want to find out when you awake naturally and unlock your phone? Let your loved ones know.

we should want to make it undeniable that there is no choice but to end ICE, prosecute its officers for lawbreaking, and fundamentally rethink immigration enforcement.

In the 1930s, German and Italian scientists of principle fled to the US and became the backbone of our scientific and technical advantage, creating massive US wealth. Those who benefited most from their work are now… fleeing to chase lower tax rates. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/09/t...

I need you to stop calling me a murderer. But — and this is important — I do not intend to stop murdering.

As a rule I'm nuanced on how media affects public perception

Police procedurals make us think law enforcement officers are better than they are and normalize the extrajudicial killings of ordinary people.

I think we should stop making them. And for that to happen you should stop watching them.

Here’s the thing: they are going to kill more people. She isn’t the first, and I’m shocked they haven’t killed more already. Because they’re hopped up, ill-trained, bloodthirsty thugs, from the president on down.

One of the things that has been lost in the history of the Boston Massacre is that the citizens had assembled in protest of the murder of an 11 year old child who threw a brick through the window of a post house in protest of the Stamp Act and was killed by a British officer in retaliation
Paul Revere's 1770 engraving of the Boston Massacre is historically inaccurate, but helped inflame sentiments against the British. Revere omits Crispus Attucks, a formerly enslaved man of African & Native American descent— the first casualty.

A third of the country is in a cult of personality, and your level of fealty to the personality determines whether you get to keep your gerrymandered congressional seat. That’s enough to keep Congress unfunctioning while the personality remains. After that, who knows.
Right.

If you want a good explanation of why the American system of government worked well enough for 200 years and then suddenly stopped, it's because Republicans in Congress suddenly started letting their partisan interests COMPLETELY override their institutional interests
a lot of problems wouldn't exist if we had a congress with even an ounce of self interest

Daycare centers were also the primary target of the Satanic panic, because fundamentally American religious conservatism is opposed to women having jobs outside the home.
Trump guys are about to Comet Pizza every third daycare center because they think they are all fronts for Somali money laundering. They're only doing this near cities with progressive mayors. This is straight up Government by LibsOfTikTok.
