Some reporter just pronounced it "Roth's Child." Irks me every time. It's Roth Schild, German for Red Shield. One of the many things I just need to get over. Like "chaise lounge."

Visualizing the four-dimensional is not difficult, because we can feel the passage of time. But visualizing five-dimensionals is like trying to imagine how it would be to be truly happy.

Gentle reminder that EVERYONE shot by ICE or the police is innocent. Every single one. Cops aren't Judge Dredd. A person is innocent until proven guilty IN A COURT, so until a person is found guilty by a judge or jury, they're innocent. They're ALL innocent.

I wish they'd make a movie about a Mob Boss who gets elected President.

Trump’s Unauthorized Wars and the Illegal Seizure of Venezuela’s President Text SIGN PZWETF to 50409 — I am writing to demand that Congress immediately reassert its constitutional authority over war and peace in response to President Trump’s escalating and unauthorized military aggression. President Trump was elected after promising to end America’s involvement in foreign wars and pursue an “America First” foreign policy rooted in restraint. Instead, his administration has launched or threatened military action across multiple regions—without congressional authorization, without transparency, and without a coherent strategy. U.S. forces have conducted airstrikes in Nigeria. The administration has bombed Iranian nuclear processing facilities and publicly threatened direct military intervention in Iran’s internal protests, declaring the United States “locked and loaded.” Those threats prompted warnings from Iranian leaders that U.S. troops in the region could be targeted in retaliation. At the same time, U.S. military assets have been staged for potential land wars in Venezuela and Colombia. Most alarming, the Trump regime has now publicly asserted that it has taken custody of Venezuela’s sitting president, Nicolás Maduro, and his wife following what it described as a large-scale military operation. Venezuelan authorities dispute this account and have demanded proof of life, while reporting explosions, low-flying aircraft over Caracas, widespread power outages, and strikes affecting both civilian and military sites. Venezuela has declared a state of emergency and ordered national mobilization in response, while neighboring countries have begun taking military and humanitarian precautions amid fears of regional escalation. If the regime's claim is accurate, the forcible seizure of a foreign head of state by U.S. forces constitutes an unauthorized use of force and an act of war under international law. No president has the authority to abduct a foreign leader, conduct regime-change operations, or initiate hostilities without explicit authorization from Congress. None of these actions were preceded by a declaration of war or a specific Authorization for Use of Military Force. They violate Article I of the Constitution and the War Powers Resolution, which exists precisely to prevent presidents from dragging the nation into war through secrecy, impulse, or distraction. This is not a collection of isolated incidents. It is a pattern of reckless and undisciplined warmongering that places U.S. service members in immediate danger. Even limited military operations involve grave risk; those risks multiply when missiles are fired, aircraft fly combat missions, and adversaries are provoked into retaliation. If the United States has seized Venezuela’s president—or even appears to have done so—every American soldier, sailor, pilot, and diplomat in the region becomes a potential target. Congress cannot abdicate its responsibilities. I urge you to: 1. Demand immediate public explanations and classified briefings from the White House and Department of Defense on all recent and ongoing military actions. 2. Convene oversight hearings to examine legal justification, civilian harm, strategic objectives, and escalation risks related to operations in Venezuela, Iran, Nigeria, and the broader region. 3. Invoke the War Powers Resolution to require the immediate cessation of hostilities absent explicit congressional authorization. 4. Use Congress’s power of the purse to block funding for any unauthorized military action. 5. If hearings establish that the president has willfully violated the Constitution or federal law, initiate impeachment proceedings as required by your oath of office. No president may wage war by decree or seize foreign leaders under cover of chaos. Congress must defend the Constitution, protect U.S. service members, and stop this dangerous slide into permanent, unauthorized war.

I'm reading The Stone Door currently. It has some amazing imagery, of course; but also some great quotes. A bit hard to follow, at times.
