This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

Urgent care is such a racket. Here because I have some weird thing with my ear and it’s a $100 copay, four times what it would be to see my regular doctor who doesn’t have an appointment for another 10 days.

A stage full of symphony musicians, with the maestro shaking a solo violinist’s hand

A stage full of symphony musicians, with the maestro shaking a solo violinist’s hand

Going to the symphony in Austin is always an experience.

Last night, for example, an enthusiastic audience member gave a resounding β€œYEEHAW!” after one of the more intense movements in Strauss’s Also Sprach Zarathustra.

I am not joking! πŸ—£οΈπŸ€ πŸ˜‚

Peggy Noonan on Pete Hegseth: β€œStop talking like that! Don’t feed the stereotypes, don’t tempt the gods” referring to the way he brags about U.S.’ β€œlethality,” and makes statements like β€œwe’re playing for keeps,” and β€œwe’re punching them while they’re down.”

We’re going to lose HCMC and City core services while cops hand the City Council a crinkled note saying the dog ate their homework when asked to justify the insane overtime expenditures.

The data points coming out of MPD include a lot of talk about recruiting classes and overtime, but they seem to be hiding the ball when it comes to how many active patrol officers they have at the moment. Appears as if the overtime is as much due to attrition as it is to ICE.

A week ago, the ACLU got DHS officials to admit on record that there would be an additional 407 agents throughout March on top of the 150 CBP agents we would normally have here.

The idea that we are down to pre-surge levels is a lie that needs to be corrected for the country. We are still occupied.

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.
