#MSNBC O'Donnell notes that Comey's lawyer Patrick Fitzgerald is the most experienced prosecutor in the room. He could also note that the second most experienced prosecutor is the defendant, who spent years in New York Southern District and Virginia Eastern District US attorney offices...

Indeed! 😍

A spring evening, as the sun sets between cottonwood trees barely leaving out at the head of a trail meandering through a park. The trail is lined with plum bushes covered in white flowers. The sun's rays refract a little into spears of light with hints of rainbow colors.

How ‘Friend of Dorothy’ Became Code in the Gay Community In the 1980s, the U.S. Navy carried out a futile search for the “real” Dorothy.

Today I learned the US Navy spent years looking for Dorothy, the "leader of a vast ring of gay military in Chicago", thinking if they found her she would reveal the names of gay Navy personnel. Like antifa, she never existed.

One of my favorite memories is walking up one of the Flagstaff trails in Boulder, happening on a bunch of magpies drunker than sailors from eating overripe apples fallen from old apple trees

Too many people live in cities that have hermetically sealed their minds from nature. We don't know where our food, our air, our water, come from. We often end up believing that things like robots and AI will save us from extinction. This belief is hastening our extinction.

When nature fades from memory, it disappears from the world A story about bees, cultural extinction and the beauty of paying attention

"If today’s children enjoy only minimal interaction with the natural world, nature will not feature in the culture they produce—in their art, music, literature, poetry."

Since taking office, President Trump has used his cryptocurrency to accept billions of dollars from foreign entities. Here's our bombshell exposé of a land deal that Hunter Biden pursued in Romania in 2017.

LOL. That was an actual article. I had a serious WTF moment.

Maybe...but they're trying to reduce foreign worker supply simultaneously

If you can't find willing foreign worker slaves, you're SOL if you rely on foreign workers to harvest your crops

A cold rain starting

Generally LEOs and military personnel tend to be Republican because their social milieu is strongly hierarchical and command related. This does not encourage questioning power displays.

That would be fascinating

And the society accommodates itself by generating snitches and turncoats to impose despotism on everyone

Important farm labor update: Trump DOL is now planning to massively expand the H2A program.

Their logic? "Gee, all the farm workers are gone now. It's causing a food crisis. We just HAVE to run a crash-expansion of our slavery-prone H2A program."
