Avid taco and opera fan. Chiles rule. Trains are awesome. Also snarky and has a potty mouth. Euskal Herria zoragarria da! ¡El País Vasco es fantástico!
The mayor of NYC could also unleash daily sanitation, building & restaurant inspections on all Trump properties & see to it that the streets in front of them are dug up for noisy underground repairs taking months or years to complete so he's got at least an arrow or two of retaliation in his quiver

She was able to obtain permission to view the execution, so she flew to Oklahoma City and woke up at 4am last Thursday to drive the two hours to the penitentiary in McAlester. She and others close to Wood then waited in a “gathering zone” in the predawn hours, where “very nice, friendly” staff from the Department of Corrections made small talk while offering them “chips and crackers and coffee.” They expected to be loaded into a van about an hour before the 10am execution, but nothing was happening. “I just kind of obsessively was refreshing my phone and trying to get in the mental headspace of ‘You’re here—you’ve got to do your job.’” Then, at 9:58, a message popped onto everyone’s phones: the governor had stopped the execution. Said Schulberg: “To experience that level of relief, and to see other people experiencing that level of relief—it was the most intense happiness I’ve ever felt in my life. I was like, this is ecstasy. Like, I’m never going to feel this happy again.” Schulberg’s decision to go to Oklahoma for the execution hadn’t come easily. Her brother and mother advised her not to. “You’re never going to be able to unsee this,” her brother told her. But when it was over, her brother said, “Your willingness to witness the worst thing ever meant that you got to see the most wonderful thing ever.”
In today's Laurels/Darts, I interview Jessica Schulberg, the Huffpost reporter who has extensively covered an unjust Oklahoma death-penalty case.
She was at the penitentiary when the the convict was spared -- exactly 2 minutes before he was scheduled to die.

Two things are true:
1. Immigration judges are not, well, judges. they are members of the executive branch. you do not receive the kind of process you associate with courts from them.
2. This framing will encourage ppl to apply who will make things worse.
A stupid email asking me to chat with its AI
As soon as there is a new administration, I’m going to start reporting emails like this to the DOJ as hate crimes against me, a human.

They had misidentified the intern.
