Finally, someone called out my favorite obsession on TikTok. The White River should go north. King and Pierce Counties had a 100-year agreement to manage it. You will not be surprised that King never fulfilled their contractual obligations. 1/4 www.tiktok.com/t/ZTr3vNrEk/
Back in 1906 the flooding in Washington state was so intense that Tukwila was under 10’ of water, until White River accidentally changed course. #wa #history #explorewashington #trivia

Washington State leaders need to intervene here.
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.

Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.

"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.

"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

Sir Terry Pratchett is best understood as one of the most interesting, deeply ethical practical (I would say Pragmatist but I cede to actual experts) philosophers of the late 20th Century who just happened to work in deconstructed fantasy literature as his medium.

It’s not just that our tax code is the most regressive, it’s also highly localized. We rely on local revenue to fund basic services, so wealthy areas get more service and poor areas, where the needs are greatest, get left behind.

When I teaching the Holocaust I note the Holocaust museum’s definition of a concentration camp is a prison whose inmates are denied due process. These are by definition concentration camps.
These are concentration camps. No other way to describe them. Truly horrific, and none of it surprising in the least.
30 minutes. Some deportees described sexual assault. Detainee describes the guard sexually assaulting most detainees. Lights left on all day. Prisoners not given clean water.

Now the DHS tour. Nobody spoke to the detainees. Noem's video was in a different area of the prison.

If you like the hockey boys kissing show, you’ll love the good Jewish baseball boys kissing book.
"But as in any KD Casey book, the third party in the relationship is ‘baseball’, which here acts as a hard to please lover."

I was trying to think of a good summary of this book, but a pal did it for me. Breakout Year, an mm sports romance, is out in the world!

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

Once when we wanted to show the ineffectual dithering of The Good Place Committee, we had one of them say, "There are rules, procedures. This is The Good Place -- we can't just *do stuff.*" We almost didn't include it, because we thought it was a little on the nose.
WELKER: Massie and Khanna say they are looking at options including impeachment and contempt for DOJ officials. Would you support those steps?

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Once again a reminder: We can have trans rights, bodily autonomy, gender nonconformity, and freedom of expression, or we can have none of these things.

People say AI is a magic shortcut to creativity & success. I’ll tell you the real secret and it’s voraciously reading, being interested in everything, being diligent in the pursuit of learning, paying attention to the interior lives of others & keeping a heart open to the world.
