I can’t stop listening to Flea’s new jazz song!
Surprisingly, this is the first protest song I’ve heard in our new tumultuous era - hopefully more musical acts get inspired by what Flea does here:

Book of the week - Iran's Grand Strategy: A political history, by @valinasr.bsky.social. Great overview of the history and politics of Iran's grand strategy, with very useful emphasis on elements of continuity and change over time. One of the best books on Iran I've read.

We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.
She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

JD Vance and Peter Thiel are running a sustained operation out of the White House designed to acquire Greenland, either voluntarily or by force. Thiel has laid out plans for what he intends to do with the island nation in past writings. It doesn't entail the consent of the Greenlanders for anything.

Two things are true:
1. Immigration judges are not, well, judges. they are members of the executive branch. you do not receive the kind of process you associate with courts from them.
2. This framing will encourage ppl to apply who will make things worse.

DOJ is now recruiting for immigration judges by calling them “deportation judges.”
