MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

So many people were detained extrajudicially, were tortured, or died because of Dick Cheney. You can't get to the danger we're in now without everything he did. The weapons he helped forge are ones we need to take away from U.S. presidents forever.

The flat-deck ships that the US currently has deployed to the Caribbean are ideally suited to running helicopter-based search and rescue/aid delivery.
We could do this. Just like we could have done this with Maria. But we won’t do it. And that’s a policy choice.

Jamaica, in particular, will likely suffer catastrophic impacts from now rapidly-intensifying (but slow-moving) Hurricane #Melissa. A *Category 5* landfall now appears to be the most likely outcome, & 30-40+ inches of *additional* rain in mountains will lead to extreme flooding.

My new trick to keep reading the news is to imagine the entire internet is a really long novel by Kurt Vonnegut and Mary Shelley that's great despite its implausibility, and I'm only 1/3 of the way through it.

Democrats Abroad asks we not use the word "king" at Barcelona's #NoKings event. "It's true," said a Catalan friend. "I'm probably just not clever enough to distinguish between my country's politics and your country's." It's hard to show up consistently for a party this tone deaf.

It’s cool that surfing lessons for NYers now appear to come with SoCal vocab lessons.
I have been taking surfing lessons. Still in the beginner kook trenches, but celebrating my last time on a foam board 😎
Graduating to a hard top next session.
It’s fun to learn new things! Even if you look like a goober at the beginning. 🏄🏽♀️
