Finished The Lost World. I thoroughly enjoyed Crichton's writing. The characters felt believable even in unbelievable scenarios, and he pushed ideas that we are still dealing with now. Deforestation, disease, climate change, all as relevant as they were 30 years ago.

Finally got around to reading Jurassic Park. Absolutely fantastic book. The suspense felt ratcheted up to 10 for the last 100 pages or so. If only Spielberg had the guts to make Hammond as horrible as he was in the book, I might have started hating billionaires a decade earlier than I did.

During World War II, the U.S. government forcibly took hundreds of thousands of people of Japanese ancestry from their homes and held them in incarceration camps.
Fred Korematsu was arrested and convicted for defying the government’s order and refusing to go to the camps.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

I saw a post saying that ICE is pausing its tip line, so I decided to call myself to verify.
The recorded voicemail said they are not currently accepting immigration status tips.
Good job, friends.

UPDATE: This bill was defeated today in the Senate.
This is a victory for government accountability and our First Amendment rights.

A dangerous bill sanctioning anyone who works with the International Criminal Court is moving quickly through Congress.
H.R. 23 would harshly punish lawyers, academics, and rights advocates — and their family members — for helping the ICC pursue justice for war crimes and other atrocities.

This is how we do it. Call out Trump’s lies to the camera, bold, strong action. Hold him accountable, every single time.

GOOD NEWS: A federal court temporarily halted President Trump's order to freeze all federal funding, including grants for public health, education, and safety.
Trump's order would have devastating consequences for communities in every corner of the nation. Our leaders must block it for good.
