CW: protester being struck in the head by a pepper ball

Footage I took earlier of the moment Reverend David Black, a regular protester outside of the Broadview Detention Center, was shot in the head with a pepper ball by ICE agents on the roof of the facility.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

They're out here beating clergy too.
Alt text: A group of armed officers in camouflage uniforms and tactical gear confront a man dressed in black with a clerical collar. One officer sprays a chemical agent directly into the man’s face as he recoils, eyes shut tight and head turned from the spray. Other officers stand close by, heavily armed and wearing helmets, goggles, and protective gear. The man appears to be a pastor, as suggested by his attire. The scene is tense and chaotic, taking place on a city street.

ICE is a hostile occupying force that is a danger to everyone.
Alt text: A man in camouflage clothing and a face covering sits inside a gray Jeep, pointing a weapon out of the open driver-side window. The gun is aimed directly at the camera. The man wears gloves and a dark cap, and his eyes are visible above the mask. The vehicle’s door and side mirror are wet with raindrops.

Week 1 of stage managing (and doing lights for) A Doll’s House at @ronintheatreco has been so much fun! Such an amazing cast (Grogu included) and I can’t wait for our run at Stage Left.

Maybe it will help a _little_ if I and others like me start saying publicly for the record that we just don’t use ChatGPT.

Writing can be really hard — organizing a piece of writing can be especially hard — but I don’t use ChatGPT.

If you read my stuff you’re reading something an LLM can’t do.

Called it.
NEW: After cancelling nearly all projects on trans health, the Trump admin has now directed the NIH to study the negative consequences of transitioning. This will create "a distorted research ecosystem where only politically favorable findings are permitted to exist", , researcher Harry Barbee says.

I think one thing trans people need to be prepared for is for HHS/CDC/NIH to start putting out bogus nonsense about the effects of HRT. Just like Conservatives in the UK did, ideologically-driven "studies" will happen here, and it'll be very, very bad.

The Atlantic just published all of the messages from the signal chat.

archive.ph/ta6gH
A screenshot of a messaging group named "Houthi PC small group" with 19 members. The group was created one week ago, and a disappearing message time of one week is set. The image shows a message from Michael Waltz stating that they are establishing a principles group for coordination on Houthi-related matters over the next 72 hours. He mentions that his deputy, Alex Wong, is forming a "tiger team" at the deputies/agency Chief of Staff level to follow up on a Sit Room meeting from that morning. He adds that action items will be sent out later in the evening. A screenshot of a group chat where Michael Waltz informs the team that they should have a statement of conclusions with taskings based on presidential guidance. He discusses notification lists for allies and partners and mentions the Joint Staff will provide a sequence of events. JD Vance expresses concerns about the impact of the decision, citing economic risks and potential inconsistencies in messaging. Joe Kent adds that there is no urgency in the timeline and that Israel may act first. John Ratcliffe, from a CIA perspective, suggests that delaying the decision could help refine intelligence on Houthi leadership. A continuation of the group chat where Pete Hegseth acknowledges concerns but argues for decisive action to restore freedom of navigation and deterrence. He warns that waiting could lead to leaks or Israel taking preemptive action. Michael Waltz follows up with trade statistics, explaining that European navies lack the capability to counter Houthi threats and that the U.S. would need to intervene eventually. A screenshot of a group chat discussing the decision to reopen or keep sea lanes closed. Michael Waltz states that the U.S. is the only country with the capability to manage the situation and emphasizes the need for Europe to invest in its defense. JD Vance responds to Pete Hegseth, agreeing to proceed but expressing frustration over bailing out Europe. He also stresses the importance of tight messaging and minimizing risks to Saudi oil facilities. Pete Hegseth shares his frustration over European reliance on the U.S. but supports moving forward with the decision, noting that POTUS still retains 24 hours for a final decision. S.M. adds that while the president has given the green light, the U.S. should clarify its expectations from Egypt and Europe in return, suggesting that economic gains should be extracted for restoring freedom of navigation. Pete Hegseth agrees. ,
