Perry: How do you respond to the plaintiffs' contention that any unrest, any violence is the fault of how federal agents are interacting with members of the public? Does it matter if their conduct is why they can't execute federal laws?
Hamilton: No.

Perry: DOJ's definition of rebellion would mean that
"literally all nonviolent protest” could be considered evidence of rebellion. Is that your argument?
Hamilton: The president has determined there is a danger of a rebellion, and you must defer to that finding

My book, The Future That Was, is about the extraordinary rise of global research on women.

It also about the attacks on & starvation of gender research today by universities who leave only the shell intact, dismantling entire fields of knowledge built by women

Every time I teach research methods to undergrads in the future, you bet your ass I am going to tell them that it's Jessica Chastain's favorite subject, so they should give it a chance:

Wtf is this title? Don't downplay or marginalize with this "critics" nonsense. "Majority See Risks..." "Public Sees Risks..." "Everyone and that goat over there sees risk..." Would all be more accurate

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?"

Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.
A pika sits on a mossy rock. Tighter crop of the same pika, focusing on its head. An even tighter crop, focusing more on the pika's eye. An extremely tight crop of the pika's eye, emphasizing their reflection of an early morning mountain scene.

But it can still be concerning in terms of the costs during the attempted Ausschaltung (if I'm meeting your metaphor on its terms*), right? Either way, I so hope our better angels and principles can reappear.

Attorney General Pam Bondi says that the "Subway Slinger" who chucked a sandwich at a federal agent in DC the other night is actually a DOJ employee. She describes him as an "example of the deep state."
