I promised you some good news after a bleak week.
Here it is. This is one of the most wrenching wrongful convictions I've ever written about.
It is wonderful to see Charlie out and off to his new home.

Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We aren’t supposed to have secret police in America.

Rep. Thomas Massie says the DOJ is using inapplicable laws to withhold key Epstein records, claiming they’re still protecting billionaires, politically connected figures, and obscuring the role of U.S. intelligence agencies.

The ICE agent who murdered Renee Nicole Good and fled the scene has deleted all of his social media accounts. The Trump administration says he is currently at home on paid leave, enjoying time with his family. After this administration, we are going to need a Nuremberg Trials 2.0.

Walz: "I couldn't help but think, and it scares me a bit -- 'The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most important directive.' It certainly feels like that in this moment."

Who would have predicted that the Iranian people might overthrow their Fascist leaders just as Americans are threatened with their own?

This is very straightforwardly the old vision of absolute monarchy subject only to the king's conscience and duty to God, exceeding even Hobbes' account of sovereign authority.
But if the king were a serial fraud, adulterer, rapist, a near-constant liar, a promoter of hatred and violence.

In Black Earth, Timothy Snyder described Nazism's foreign policy as basically "imperialism, but directed at neighbors." Including wiping out their sovereignty; Poland was the most telling example of this.

There have been nine ICE shootings. There will be more. I think it may be time to consider these actions in the historical context of the Central American death squads supported by previous iterations of U.S. imperialism. And ICE's hostile incursion into "blue" cities as a form of imperialism, too.

Norms aren’t laws and, unless they’re enforced quickly, laws ain’t shit.

Um, you're not allowed to go door-to-door hoping to randomly find someone violating the law. You need a warrant. That's is basic Constitutional shit.
JD Vance: "It was a legitimate law enforcement operation. We were going door to door to try to find criminal illegal aliens and deport them from the United States ... say a prayer for that agent ... he deserves a debt of gratitude."

Yes. The point of outright lies contradicting what we can all see isn't to convince anyone in a genuine debate, it is to assist their confederates in creating enough noise, they hope, to bring the truth into doubt for those who aren't going to review the evidence.
I contend that they aren’t manufacturing evidence to convince people in reasoned and logical argument. They are manufacturing props to be used in a fantasy performance among people who collectively agree with the make-believe narrative of that performance.
“For the Trump administration, these creators don’t just amplify the White House’s messaging, they manufacture the evidence to justify it.”

The biggest What-If from Jan. 6 is what would've happened had Eugene Goodman not tricked the seditionists into following him away from the Senate Chambers. Had they breached that door, many would've likely been killed. I wonder if the Senate conviction would've gone through in that case.
