Democrats are simultaneously beginning to refer to ICE and CBP agents as "poorly trained."

This message comes from leadership. They're trying to use it as a substitute for dismantling ICE and CBP and imprisoning their current employees. Don't fall for it; don't take any Dem seriously who uses it.

Undoing injustice A new Stanford center is uniting astronomers and data scientists to decipher the cosmos—and reinvent the future of discovery.

Thankful for the heroic work being done by Stanford’s Three Strikes Project, getting people out of prison who shouldn’t be there. If you need some good feels this week, click on this. (Don’t miss the short vid at the end!)

I invented a thing called Admin Night and I've come to recruit for it. Get hip to the tiny obligations grinding us down, isolating us and stealing our time! Wake up to the structural reasons why! Get shit done! Admin Night is fun and funny and helpful! Start your own!

The Post editorial page may be falling apart, but their coverage of administrative problems in Social Security has been excellent.
