It is good to be deaf in a deafening time
With the sky gone colorless, while the dead
Thunder breaks, a cracked dish, out of the mind.

Of voices polished and revised by history,
The martial note, words framed in capitals.

Land in their eyes, unquiet ancestors
(On fences yellow signs clang in the wind)
Unstirred by suns drying the brown weeds
Above them now in parched and caking land.

Signboards commemorate their resting place.
The graveless of another century
Came and were conquered; now their bones
Are dust where idiot highways run.

“Can presidents unleash the armed forces on their own people based on facts that they contrive?” Stephen Vladeck asks in a guest essay. “The text of the relevant statutes doesn’t answer that question. But our constitutional ideals, to say nothing of common sense, should.”

Monstrous.

"federal agents detained nearly every resident of the 130-unit building—including children and babies—placing them in zip ties and separating them by race into vans for more than two hours early Tuesday morning."

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Yeah, this came up recently —> www.lawdork.com/p/judge-bloc...
1 Although TROs — because they are meant to be temporary in nature — are not generally appealable, higher courts can hear appeals if the TRO is acts like a preliminary injunction and DOJ has regularly been claiming that orders against the Trump administration fit that exception and appellate courts have largely gone along with that even if the court ultimately does not side with DOJ in the matter on appeal.

Last week, new WaPo opinion editor Adam O'Neal quietly carried out another purge of staffers, cutting editors and major names like Marc Fisher and David Hoffman, among others.

Meanwhile, he welcomed three conservatives to the section.

Adam O’Neal says he’s bringing “intellectual diversity” to The Washington Post’s opinion pages—but the moves he’s making behind the scenes tell a different story.

Plus, these so-called “lie detector” tests are so frequently unreliable or wrong that the devices’ results aren’t even admissible in a court of law.

We started reporting this trying to get a follow on the revelation last week that Trump / Hegseth were waging a new escalated war on leakers and whistleblowers, expecting some of the similar doom and gloom we get often— instead we got a bunch of government personnel laughing at fascists bumbling.

Caltrans has released a cross section for the ultimate (raised viaduct) version of SR-37.

Now maybe I'm just being paranoid, but if you were building a road that you planned to keep at 4 lanes wide, I don't think it would look like this.
Cross section of 114' wide bridge structure with each direction having a 12' outside shoulder and a 10' inside shoulder.
