Extra funny that this is literally on the Barbary Coast Trail, marked with plaques in the sidewalk and everything.

"The early decades of the Barbary Coast were marred by persistent lawlessness, gambling, administrative graft, vigilante justice, and prostitution"

I spent my day with a bunch of strangers who give a fuck about making progress in their own struggles and helping other people along the way and I highly recommend that experience in all its many forms.

What an antidote to the poison and lies and fearmongering and illegitimate power and bullshit.

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

Though Benioff's shift mirrors Silicon Valley's broader accommodation of Trump, the exchange offered a rare glimpse of just how far that repositioning can go. The question now: will other Bay Area tech CEOs follow Benioff's lead and call for federal troops in their own backyard?

UPDATE: Judge Perry issued an opinion explaining why she blocked the Texas National Guard deployment in Chicago.

She begins with Alexander Hamilton’s rejection of a “preposterous” idea that the Constitution lets a President deploy a State’s militia to a different State for political retribution. 🧵

OPINION AND ORDER
Since this country was founded, Americans have disagreed about the appropriate division
of power between the federal government and the fifty states that make up our Union. This
tension is a natural result of the system of federalism adopted by our Founders. And yet, not even
the Founding Father most ardently in favor of a strong federal government believed that one
state's militia could be sent to another state for the purposes of political retribution, calling such
a suggestion "inflammatory," and stating "it is impossible to believe that [a President] would employ such preposterous means to accomplish their designs." But Plaintiffs contend that such
an event has come to pass, and argue that National Guard troops from both Illinois and Texas
have been deployed to Illinois because the President of the United States wants to punish state elected officials whose policies are different from his own.

Most animals die when they freeze. The water in their tissues turns to ICE and their cells rupture. But do you know what happens to frogs? They just thaw out in the spring and keep hopping. ICE cannot harm frogs.

I saw this at SFMOMA with my kid, it was amazing.

Also, she totally roasted me when I said that I had one of the tape decks in the exhibit when I was a kid. "Something you had as a kid is in a *museum*?? I mean, it's modern art museum, but still."
