Screen shot of NYTimes online front page with tiny headline about Emergency powers circled in red. Red text on yellow saying "Unconstitutional invasion of us cities way down here!!! WTF NY Times." Another text saying "But at least I know where to find a tree house with rustic vibe" referring to NYT headline near top saying "6 Tree Houses You can Rent for Glamour With a Rustic Vibe"
The New York Times minimizing the unconstitutional assault on US cities so much that it didn't appear on the "front page" even on my big screen monitor. Had to export a pdf to capture the tiny headline. Truly atrocious. Does any major US news org care at all?

Worth a watch from Jake Grumbach. I sure hope someone pushes an anti-corruption position in the US. I dunno whether politics will pan out, but we really need it. https://bsky.app/profile/perrybaconjr.bsky.social/post/3lzt5j2fp4c2i

Shelves with kosher wine, grape juice, and matzo in the store display. I think there’s some honey on the top shelf.
Having just been in New York, the Rosh Hashanah display at my local #seattle grocery featuring *Matzah* made me feel out of place. Do they get points for trying? Shanah Tovah all. #roshhashanah

Photo of sidewalk & trees & parking lot with 9 cars plugged into chargers
Ashland #OR has free #EV chargers in city owned parking lot - just plug in. 4hr limit. 9 x 9 kw chargers. Power ~8¢/kwh here so probably < $10/hr cost to city. People seem to love it. #Seattle has some neighborhood chargers, but still have to pay via ChargePoint app.

Letter from WA Gov:
Dear Attorney General Bondi:
I am in receipt of your letter dated August 13, 2025, which purports to notify me that Washington State "has been identified" as a "so-called sanctuary jurisdiction" — on grounds that your letter makes no effort whatsoever to explain.
You refer to unidentified "policies and practices" within Washington State that violate federal law-again, without any explanation. You baselessly invoke federal obstruction, conspiracy, and harboring statutes that carry criminal penalties with prison time. You even threaten that state officials "operating under the color of law, using their official position to obstruct federal immigration enforcement efforts and facilitating or inducing illegal immigration may be subject to criminal charges."
You are hereby notified that Washington State will not be bullied or intimidated by threats and legally baseless accusations.
In the America that I love and have taught my children to revere, we resolve our differences peacefully through public discourse and, if necessary, through the courts—not by threatening political opponents with imprisonment.
You take a different approach. You threaten me, police officers, state troopers, sheriffs, judges, and other officials with prison time.
Why? Because our state legislature passed a bipartisan law that appropriately and lawfully limits the diversion of our state and local resources to federal immigration enforcement.
... (See attached pdf for full letter)

Nice to see my governor pushing back on Bondi:

For #seattle folks. Last night thanks to the 2024 Experimental Education Unit auction we hosted a dinner by Paju. Highly recommend that place which used to be in our neighborhood. Dinner availability apparently much better now that they moved to SLU. And Bill, the chef/owner is lovely.

But Kalev, Kelly & Dobbin 2006 found that diversity training aimed at individuals had *negative* effects on hiring of Black men and women as managers (other approaches were effective) maybe due to backlash. Many programs both “whitewashed the problem of bias” (2009 p. 232) & were ineffective […]

Screenshot from Dobbin 2009: Current diversity measures face little overt opposition in corporate America, in large part because the human resources profession has done such a good job of framing them as promoting efficiency, of depicting the problem as one of outdated personnel systems rather than as one of prejudice, and of making the case that the workforce is in the midst of becoming dramatically more diverse. [These successes suggest that corporate diversity programs will continue to flourish even in the absence of new legislation.](red highlight)

Senator Padilla being handcuffed on the ground by 3 men.
NYT Logo by Sonia A. Rao: Senator Alex Padilla of California abruptly interrupted the news conference by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. He yelled out that he had "questions for the secretary," and was promptly escorted out by security.
Don't forget that the NYT first described this as being "escorted out". NYT defaults to pro-admin frame as usual.

From “Welcome to the Wretched” García Hernández 2024. p 115:
But there's also an ideological commitment. Karp is a unique character. He's the company's CEO, a workaholic with a law degree and a Ph.D. in social theory who studied under the influential German philosopher Jürgen Habermas
Wait, the CEO of Palantir studied under Habermas? (Apparently they had a falling out). #sociology

Quote from García Hernández 2019 "Migrating to Prison", itself citing Dan Baum, Legalize It All: How to Win the War on Drugs , Harper’s (April 2016), https://harpers.org/archive/2016/04/legalize-it-all/. : “The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people,” the disgraced Nixon official John Ehrlichman told a reporter years later. “We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”
Sometimes you read something that takes your breath away: “We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily […]
