"After nearly five hours, he and his wife were released. They are now pursuing legal action.
"It's not about the immigrants," his sister, told NBC10 Boston. "It's coming to us Americans, and it's going to go after all of us."

Mañana voy a dar una charla de seguridad digital a niños de 5to y 6to grado... Es la segunda vez que la voy a hacer. Da un poco de susto.
Veremos qué tal resulta. Sobre todo porque la voy a dar dos veces a los grupos separados.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

LCpl Jesus Suarez del Solar died 22 years ago today from an unexploded U.S. cluster munition in Iraq. He was born in Tijuana & was not a U.S. citizen, but he gave his life in the service of this nation. I was fortunate to serve with him; you too are fortunate for such men.

Reminder: the First Amendment protects everyone who resides in our country. It doesn't matter if you have a green card or a visa or if you're undocumented. The Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed that any person residing in the United States, regardless of status, is entitled to 1A protections.

Kristi Noem in tight athleisure—white top, drawstring grey pants—in front of a prison cell packed with mostly shirtless men. Noem’s hair cascades out of her navy DHS cap. The men appear to be wearing loose white patient pants. Norm wears a heavy gold-and-silver watch. The men’s arms are at their sides or clasped in front, as if they’ve been told to stand at attention. Noem’s cap is pulled low, so we can’t really see her eyes; instead, her face appears comprised mainly of lips. The men’s heads have been shaved; there’s lighting on Noem but they’re in the murk, hard to distinguish from one another.
I showed my wife, a historian, the Kristi Noem video. She said “holy shit!” It’s a lot. A brief thread on bodies. It begins in the alt text below… 1/

I just checked in at the Atlanta airport and the kiosk wanted me to show a "passport or permanent residence card."
The airline rep who was helping me said "I don't know why it's doing this it's been doing it all morning."

Invasión a Ucrania: ¿se aproxima un "deal económico" de Trump?
La invasión de Rusia a Ucrania cumplió 3 años. La guerra está en una inercia y -es lo trágico de un enfrentamiento- dejó de ser noticia. El revulsivo que es Trump revivió el conflicto. Sacó del letargo el tema y puso a Europa a debatir su futuro sin los EUA, discusión necesaria desde hace tiempo. El 13 de febrero, el secretario de Defensa de los EUA, afirmó que “el realismo sobre el terreno” indica que no es posible volver a la situación pre-2014. Una dura afirmación, pero cierta. En esta realidad del poder entró la propuesta de Trump que es un “deal económico” con implicaciones políticas. El punto central de este corto artículo es que, si se quiere homenajear al pueblo de Ucrania, al inmenso costo que pagó y paga, a tres años de la agresión rusa a su territorio, no es simplemente tuitear o decir, “Слава Україні!” o afirmar que el apoyo a Ucrania no es porque gane frente a la invasión rusa, sino porque es un imperativo moral para afirmar el rechazo a la agresión del “putinismo”. Ya esto no es suficiente. Llegamos a la hora de la verdad: cañones o mantequilla si se quiere que Ucrania tenga poder para negociar frente a Rusia. Las dos no se pueden

Even in Death, Navalny Still Threatens the Putin Regime
The opposition leader’s posthumous memoir is a chronicle of a death foretold.
"Even the story of his near-murder, his tragi-farcical trials, and his ordeal in the penal colony is told with humor—and humanity." Navalny's refusal to knuckle under is permanent, now that he is dead, and is still a threat to Putin's regime.

I read Jonathan Alter’s biography of Jimmy Carter a few years ago. It was simply amazing how he never stopped going 100% in all that life offered: learning to downhill skill at 62, climbing Kilimanjaro at 64, picking up snorkeling at 90.
RIP.

The alleviation of women's abuse "is made less likely by the mandated subservience of women by Christian fundamentalists. What is especially disappointing...is the docile acceptance by so many strong Christian women of their subjugation & restricted role." - Jimmy Carter (RIP)

"The vast accumulations of knowledge—or at least of information—deposited by the nineteenth century have been responsible for an equally vast ignorance. When there is so much to be known, when there are so many fields of knowledge in which the same words are used with different meanings, when every one knows a little about a great many things, it becomes increasingly difficult for anyone to know whether he knows what he is talking about or not. And when we do not know, or when we do not know enough, we tend always to substitute emotions for thoughts."
A reminder that T. S. Eliot had the problems of today figured out 103 years ago in his essay and poetry collection "The Sacred Wood."
