The beauty but profundity of Tom Stoppard's Arcadia, captured in a letter from an audience member. I saw the same production, and it slew me in a way no other theater experience ever has.

This war-crime framing is driving me crazy. There is no war. They don’t even know who they’re killing. It’s murder.

Recurring anxious thought about how professionalization of journalism is a relatively recent phenomenon in the US, and for much of our history reporting has been filled with rumors and heresy, and there's nothing that inherently ensures advantage (or even survival) for the former over the latter

I am ready to go beyond implication and say after reading the facts here that one of the most recognizable people working in the White House almost certainly had ICE arrest her nephew's mother as a favor to her brother
This article heavily implies that ICE is being used in a custody dispute to help Karoline Leavitt's brother get his son and have the mother locked up in ICE detention
"A woman with a family connection to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Revere, Massachusetts."

Being among the first interrogated and ultimately fired by DOGE, I certainly felt we were facing the business end of a right-wing conspiracy theory 🧵
DOGE was not a money-saving effort. It was an effort to chase down and prove right-wing conspiracy theories. They went after USAID to prove conspiracy theories about foreign aid. Then they went after SSA to, again, pursue conspiracy theories about Dems paying "illegals" to vote. 1/2
All DOGE accomplished was purging critical government staff, handing private data to outsiders, and sentencing thousands in developing countries to death by gutting USAID.
I don’t say this lightly: if there were any justice in this world, the people responsible for this devastation would be in jail
