And everywhere you look
You can't believe the things you see
When it all comes down so bad
And beauty lies exhausted in the streets -Nick Cave

I was playing this on my guitar this AM & getting emotional as always at the “reading names out in the radio” line. Just heard about the shooter at Brown a few blocks from where I picked my kid up from college yesterday (RISD) and just crying for the situation & families.🙏

Pantone unveils 2026 color of the year, and it may surprise you
Famed color factory Pantone released its shade of the upcoming year, or perhaps more appropriately for 2026, its lack of shade.

They’re making sure they kill any witnesses. Evidence is all sink too.
I don't think you need be an expert on the Geneva Conventions (tho I appreciate Tom's expertise) to know there's no legal justification for Hegseth to order straight-up murders, with no due process, of alleged drug traffickers including a second strike to kill survivors of a first strike. Horrifying

It’s not cannibalism! I’m just trying to eat you.
My mistake has been trying to explain what "fascism" is to people who don't care what it is.
So I'm going to try something else. Let's do this as a practical thought exercise.
If America *were* fascist *today* - what would you have to do differently in your daily life? /1

Trump: I like it! Are you sure it will work?
Bondi: Yes. Ordinarily the DOJ would have to appoint an independent special counsel, given your associations with Epstein. We’ll appoint our own, control what they access and their conclusions. So you…
Trump: Shhh…I already tweeted it.

It’s absolutely insane that this man has been in jail for over a month for posting a meme that was clearly not a threat. If he wasn’t retired he would loose his job.
Small part of the story but note that (as usual) the ACLU warned everyone about a law with good intent that’s too broadly written.

In the wake of Charlie Kirk's death, a TN sheriff had a 61-yr-old man arrested for posting a meme on Facebook, which the sheriff absurdly construed as a threat. It was pretty clearly bullshit but I dug into the case using FB & public records and now it looks even worse. My latest @theintercept.com:
The Absurd Prosecution of a Man Who Posted a Charlie Kirk Meme
Larry Bushart Jr. posted trolling memes on a Facebook thread about a vigil for Kirk. He’s been in a Tennessee jail ever since.

The Peril of a White House That Flaunts Its Indifference to the Law
The White House has made no legal argument explaining its bald claim that the president has wartime power to summarily kill people suspected of smuggling drugs.

I prefer “anti-fascist“ for a host of reasons and this is a nice practical one.
I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

This is exactly what they’re up to. Protest = Terrorism in Trump’s America.
As I observed in my Substack Round Up this past week, the endgame of the military strikes against drug cartels in international waters is to lay the groundwork to use lethal military force against Americans at home. Pay attention open.substack.com/pub/asharang...
