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.

After years of delays and blocks by Speaker Johnson, the January 6 plaque honoring officers who defended the Capitol is finally installed.

4 a.m.. No ceremony. Just workers bolting it to the wall while DC slept.

Apparently the only safe way to acknowledge J6 in Trump’s Washington is in the dark.

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.

But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.

A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

Sun is shining on a creosote bush with yellow flowers and fuzzy white seed pods. The mountains and saguaro cactus are in the background.

Oh, heyyyy creosote! This beautiful bush caught my eye as it was embraced by the morning sun.

Please, stop signing bills.

After 10 days they become law by default.

So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.

That's $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

Thousands of lives lost.

People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Tan to sienna sedimentary formations rise to form mounds and plateaus in the near distance. Small high desert shrubs dot the surface of the expanse. White, puffy cumulus clouds enhance the brilliant blue sky. In the foreground, the orangish sand beckons onward. Small squat conifers, one alive and the other stark branched, frame sides of the composition.

Sunday thought: We will prevail Finding courage in a dark time

It’s been a hard week. If you’re feeling angry, you’re not alone. I see it in your comments. I’m struck by how you are fighting back against this tyranny, nonetheless.

You are giving me hope.

This made me laugh out loud. Thanks! P.S. he's a natural

When I first started out as a journalist I thought it paid to have a background in US history when covering America. Then I thought it would probably be better to be a constitutional lawyer with expertise in jurisprudence. Now I think it would be useful to be a psychiatrist.

The moment gas prices increase..

Happy Caturday. 🐱

Oh.

“We have agreed” — how nice of them! Surely they’re doing this work pro bono right?

July clouds New Mexico.

Like clockwork.

I have a resident curve-billed thrasher in my yard in ABQ. I call him Theodore. He's so fun to watch!

Huge slap in the face to democracy. Democratic Colorado governor, @colorado.gov, just publicly signaled clemency to Tina peters, convicted of election interference. If election crimes have no consequences, why would the next denier stop?

Bisbee, Arizona

The buildings whisper the town’s long memory.
Every line feels shaped by hands now gone.
The street curves like a gentle reminder.
The past walks softly beside you, drifting forward in its own quiet way.

The Secretary of War Crimes should have to blow into a breathalyzer to unlock his office door every morning.

Rep. Moskowitz can be seen wearing a "JUSTICE FOR CRICKET" pin as he questions Kristi Noem

Raskin tears Kristi Noem a new one: "Apparently when your blankie was left on one of the govt jets and not transported to the new one, your special govt employee, Corey Lewandowski, chivalrously stepped forward to fight the pilot -- mid air!"
