I'm not celebrating Bovino going under the bus because I think it means this is over.

I'm celebrating that we've entered the Shitheads Going Under the Bus era.

God I'm so pumped to trip more of them under it.

Remember, these people wear masks and are often wearing generic camo with some velcroed on labelling you could probably get from Amazon.

They pop out of rental car and duplicate license plates.

We do not really know who they are.

An underappreciated point which I think got forgotten from older discourse is that one of the primary reasons ice needs to be shut down and abolished is that they are indistinguishable from random vigilantes.

And that is why now we must all act to protect people.

A billionaire bought a legacy institution and immediately took it to hell… because that’s what they do

and we're (both women) just casually and loudly whaling on each other while smiling and laughing and sinking into lower and lower stances.

it's not for everyone -- we are big on consent in our dojo due to the wide range of people we train with -- but we're both good with heavy contact.

Imagine a paramilitary gang kills 2 observers over 2 weeks, then shows up at your home to say, "You, observer, we know where you live."

That's a death threat.

If it happened to me or a colleague when I was a human rights observer in N. Ireland, we would've lodged complaints with three govts.

I know things are bad, and it is late, but if you live in a cold place, please moisturize your hands before going to sleep. Cracked skin is really painful.

"The number of downloads...surged by 529% after Mr. Mamdani’s news conference"

"there had been 3,000 people on a waiting list to access a limited number of e-book copies"

"2,000 people applied for a library card over the weekend, roughly twice as many as had applied by this time last year"

A win!

More Hill Democrats want Kristi Noem out as DHS secretary A House impeachment resolution now has 140 cosponsors, nearly two-thirds of the caucus.

Asked about Bovino and Noem, a White House spokesperson referred to Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt's statement today that Noem has the president's "utmost confidence and trust."

So like... end of week? www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

one of my favorite parts of karate class is doing kotekitae (arm pounding) with my Sensei in front of new guys, because I know they think we're being soft/weak after we try to get them to turn down the power because they have no technique or control.

right? please think. there are far too few people and too little pomp and circumstance for it to have been a death this prominent and this mourned.

thanks for the thought. i'll pass.

This report is stunning but not surprising.

30 ICE agents were found to have been charged with a litany of crimes, inc:

Gunpoint sexual assault, child sex trafficking, aggravated assault, robbery, rape, torture, kidnapping, sexual abuse of a minor, and production of child sexual abuse materials.

There is a barrier between the protesters and the Springhill Suites Marriott in Maple Grove: a single piece of caution tape

No one seems inclined to go past it. This is more about making horrible people miserable in a perfectly legal way

Minneapolis is built different. It's a kind of cold that's difficult to describe except that it feels personal. It hungers for fingers and toes

I've been here 10 minutes and two people had offered whistles. When I explained that I'm press, I was offered a hand warmer

I'm in deep cover somewhere red at the moment. I can confirm: the right pretty uniformly believes that Pretti was going for his gun.

I think they call that "stolen valor."

There are months where decades happen…or something

Moral of the story is that the far right does not care about humans and that means they can’t predict anyone’s behavior.

- Chicago hates lCE so much they do a solidarity protest every time ICE agents so much as fart in another city

- Portland took a different tactic and did really weird things and it made the fash so deeply uncomfortable that they left

As a Canadian, what I've learned so far:

- Minnesotans are very nice and VERY organized
- Mainers are aggressively xenophobic but in a way that lCE will not like
- Philadelphians crave the blood of their enemies
- LA is ground zero for chaos tactics that never lose
- New Yorkers love gay hockey

that does look good, and so does that thai coconut chicken soup. one of my challenges is that my go-to is rice, lol. it's in my blood. I'm from New Orleans and descended from rice farmers, so I'm just like, "ooh, what can I put on/in rice?"

I sometimes forget that pasta and potatoes exist.

oooh, fun. we have a couple Korean markets near us where I can get ingredients (a little mini Hannam and an H-Mart).

I know there are a lot of people who felt viscerally uncomfortable hearing Palestinians talk about victims of bombings as martyrs, who instantly understood why Renee Good and Alex Pretti are martyrs. I’m not saying that to shame anyone; it’s just worth thinking about.

Andouille And Chicken Jambalaya This classic Creole dish is perfect for a crowd. Keep it warm on the stove and let your guests serve themselves as needed, that way you can enjoy the party too.

ooh, yes, Emeril's chicken and andouille jambalaya. I can go for that, and it looks super easy.

I love food, but making sure we get fed is feeling like a chore these days. looking for a bit of inspiration.
