Writing a book that features an Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights who was a smart lawyer, a passionate defender of democracy, and a good and decent person, I appreciate that Harmeet Dhillon is out here showing us what happens when that same job is filled by someone who's none of that.
Harmeet Dhillon on Don Lemon: "We made a presentation to the magistrate judge. And the judge, who is married to someone who works for AG Ellison, who has had a lot to say about ICE, declined to give us all we were asking for. That's just part of the process... there are other ways to pursue charges"

for this week's column, i finally watched The Electric State, an *insane* movie that uses sentient AI robots as a metaphor for the marginalization & oppression of immigrants, co-opting real-life horrors for AI propaganda.

also Mr. Peanut signs a peace treaty with a deepfake Bill Clinton.

Fucking monsters. Irredeemable. Unforgivable. Every single one of them, every single person who supports them, and every single person who looks the other way because doing anything less would mean confronting friends and family.
This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

Leonard Nimoy was more than a colleague—he was a friend, an ally, and my political soulmate. Leonard played a half-human, half-Vulcan officer—a being caught between two worlds. Yet in his own life, he was perhaps the most profoundly human person I have ever known.
