When they add an amendment repealing the 22nd, that's when I really start to worry.

Guesses on how long til one of our governing boards moves to bring back Silent Sam?

Der Sanierungsbedarf ist umfangreicher als gedacht Das ehemalige Kaufhaus Grom in der Unteren Marktstraße 1 in Bad Kissingen befindet sich momentan in einer umfassenden Sanierung. Doch bei den Umbauarbeiten ergaben sich einige Schwierigkeiten.

Is there a kind person in #Germany who'd be able to email or message me this newspaper article from a couple of years ago?
Seems well-nigh inaccessible from the US of A.
Thanks.

Such an immense treat to talk to Brian Niiya of @denshoproject.bsky.social about mixed-race families in and around the US WWII concentration camps. Video recording of the event is now live! www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4hr...

Epstein Files: DOJ Official Todd Blanche Says He’ll Meet With Ghislaine Maxwell “If Ghislane Maxwell has information about anyone who has committed crimes against victims, the FBI and the DOJ will hear what she has to say,” the deputy attorney general said.

My God. They're going to do a deal with her.
There's no bottom.

are you totally certain about f**k? 😉

Hard to believe it's been 56 fucking years.

Trump’s mysterious makeup-covered hand and swollen ankles explained by White House Press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump noticed “mild swelling” in his lower legs and was evaluated by the White House medical unit.

Cover-up cover-up.

They're not even trying to hide it now.

Join the online event about mixed families in and around the US concentration camps for Japanese Americans tomorrow: densho.org/events/toget...

They're not even bothering to pretend at this point.

It was not until embarrassingly late in life that I figured out how someone named named Brenda Renetti could be both the king AND the queen of the prom.

Prediction in WMM v Trump, based on listening to the oral argument just now: 2-1 for the government, though Judge Oldham might want to rest on more extensive grounds than Judge Southwick.

And I'm feeling pretty sick about the prospects at SCOTUS.

Left: Ole Miss Chancellor John Davis Williams, NOT forced out by the President in 1962 for resisting racial integration.

Right: UVA president Jim Ryan, forced out by the President in 2025 for supporting diversity.

Oral argument's this afternoon in WMM v Trump, the Alien Enemies Act case in the Fifth Circuit likely to go to the Supreme Court.

I filed this amicus curiae brief urging the court not to repeat the mistake in the WWII Japanese American cases of taking a gov't claim about "invasion" at face value.

I also asked *her* for advice about what *I* should do w/my fears for the future in my country, whose leadership & civil liberties issues I described for her.

She ended up suggesting I leave the country - or if I can't, start building my own hiding place.

But that's another story.

She was willing to open a window for a little while.

I reminded her of a thought from her diary.
