Every once in a while I remember that it used to be a massive scandal with legal consequences for members of federal government to be revealed as Russian agents. Like. In my lifetime! Not that long ago! Our federal government used to root out, reject, and imprison Russian assets!

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, is one of my favorite movies. On the rewatch list with Clue, The Haunting, The Fifth Element, and Band of Brothers. Things I find very soothing.

As part of my air traffic hire I got an incredibly minor security clearance. I, too, took an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States and to protect the nation from enemies foreign and domestic. And, like those members of Congress, that oath has not ended after retirement from service.

Paying a lot of attention to local and national news, to organizing, to resisting authoritarianism, because it's a really pleasant distraction from how much pain I am in.

Here are some reflections from folks in Chicago who have been resisting the occupation by ICE. Specifically, the actions taken at the Broadview holding station.
It's an interesting look at what worked, what didn't, and what even counts as "worked" in this context.
