Don't forget Gaza
I am not sure anything in the admin’s vast catalog of misconduct feels as prosecutable, as people-belong-in-jail, as the destruction of USAID.
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.

If the Dems who win in the 2026 midterms get squeamish about prosecuting this administration, we'll need to elect a bunch of new people running on Nuremberg shit for 2028. This isn't a joke. It's the law. It's justice. Biden let Trump back in the WH and this happened because Joe didn't do his job

the mantis shrimp has 16 types of color receptors.
humans have 3.
we see roughly 10 million colors and think that's impressive.

historical oil demand vs secnarios
On the second fossil fuel crisis of this decade (and likely to be worse than the last, fair to say), a few small thoughts

My pup's Dad detects blood sugar. Her brother is a Service dog for children with disabilities & my pup's a therapy dog.
Classrooms of children in Iran. Hundreds of people in Lebanon. The ongoing genocide in Gaza.
The message from our political and media class is clear: their lives are less valuable than others.
Every human being matters, and every human being deserves a life of peace.
