No longer lawyering; concentrating on connecting our community, dispensing whistles and encouraging alertness in Colorado. El Brazo de Onofre will be setting things right.

On a broader note, Al Aqsa Mosque has been closed by the Israelis since the start of the war. Laylat-al-Qadr is coming up in a few days (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_o...), with Eid right after. I wonder how other Muslim nations will react if it's still closed since theyre already issuing statements.

I think people are overrating the odds the ayatollah is a purely rational utility maximizer and underrating the odds the guy is rather upset about his father, wife, and daughter being incinerated and wants his pound of flesh.

I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasn’t gotten around to doing anything about it yet.

Spain permanently withdraws ambassador as rift with Israel deepens Spain permanently withdrew its ambassador to Israel on Tuesday as a ​diplomatic standoff worsened between the two countries β€Œover Spain's opposition to the U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran.

Spain just made a diplomatic snub to Israel permanent. Madrid formally ended its ambassador's posting to Israel, confirming that the role is being scrapped.

Judge Orders Colorado to Stop Throwing Prisoners in Solitary for Refusing to Work - Bolts Years after voters amended the state's constitution to ban forced labor in prison, a court ruling could finally make Colorado change how prison guards "compel and coerce" work.

When Nadia Reed refused to work while incarcerated in Colorado, she was punished.

She was put in solitary, not allowed to talk to her family, handcuffed, shackled, & moved to a more punitive part of the prison where she was sexually assaulted.

A judge ruled Colorado has to change its policies.

After a series of fatal strikes involving civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, Congress directed the Pentagon to reduce civilian casualties as part of a 2019 law. During the Biden administration, the Defense Department created the Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response initiative.

The civilian mitigation teams – cut by 90% by Hegseth – work with military commanders on target planning, and making sure that targets are actually military sites. The teams help come up with "no strike" lists, including religious and cultural sites and schools

I knew that the Department of War shot a missile into a school & killed 175 civilians, mostly children.

This is learned today:

Secretary of War Hegseth had cut the teams assigned to prevent such tragedies by 90%.

I asked President Trump about the FBI reportedly seizing election records in Arizona. He said they must have done that because it was a β€œrigged” election. I pointed out to him that his own AG said there was not measurable voter fraud to overturn that election. Then he called me a rotten reporter.

Elon Musk is now worth $845 billion.

Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025.

Meanwhile, nearly a quarter of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high.

See the problem here?
