Here's @oliverdarcy.bsky.social with a point I should have given more thought to.
David Ellison keeps saying that the “editorial independence” of CBS News must be “maintained." Sounds good, right? But think about it. If you really wanted an independent newsroom would you choose a newbie to run it?
🧊✈️ SEATTLE: Women in chains descend in driving rain from an ICE-chartered Eastern 737 (tail: N917XA) at Boeing Field 👀

In 2015, Chinatown Tenants Union helped win the first rent freeze in 46 years.
Today, Deputy Mayor Julie Su is helping working-class families in Chinatown who are once again facing housing instability.

Secondly, if Mr Morrison had suspected the NPP was misleading, I think it probable that the last thing he would have done was refrain from speaking up in the hope of OCI being adopted without further delay or investigation. For, as a member of parliament and minister of many years standing, he would almost certainly have foreseen that, were he to do so, there would be a high chance of the deception soon being discovered and of his and his government’s subjection to the inevitably adverse political consequences that would follow. Rather than being a reason to suspect a dishonest failure to inquire, the fact that Mr Morrison did not make further inquiries appears more probably consistent with him not having perceived there was a need to do so.
"We don't believe Morrison would act dishonestly, because he was a member of parliament for many years" is a very funny argument. I'll give them that
Well things have gotten much much much much stupider
It's looking increasingly like these guys thought that if they could wreak more death and destruction than the other side then they would be respected as strong powerful men and they would "win" and that would make them big important heroes. Very possibly they had no rationale deeper than that.
The ICE detention center purchases appear to be money laundering:
the problem is that it's all so close to shore, if only they had some way to operate in the so-called littoral zone
This is clearly fine with the GOP.
BART’s future is dire. Its ridership cratered during the pandemic and remains less than half of what it once was. And the very future of the familiar white and blue trains, which have zipped around the Bay Area since 1972, is in doubt.

the great folk singer/songwriter Fred Small became a Unitarian minister later in life, and he was in a seminary class for career changers
the class began with the instructor solemnly warning the students that becoming a minister could mean an annual salary of $30,000 😱
Fred said, “$30,000? 🥳🥳🥳”
this is endless discourse...so I will just reiterate that *Newsom is not ahead in polls* and talking about him as if he's already the nominee helps him. don't do that. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/we-can-bea...
manufacturing may slow down as Iranian built components become harder to source/transport. If true, this could be good news for Ukraine. 💪🇺🇦✌️
An interesting point here is that the thinking is that Iran has maintained some component manufacturing of the Russian Shaheds in Iran, to make sure that Russia continues to pay the licensing fee for the right to make Shaheds.
For that reason, there is a chance that Russia's OWN Shahed
There's a new English language interview with Zelenskyy where he states his intelligence people have shown him evidence that some Shaheds used by Iran right now are manufactured in Russia. Iran helped them construct the plant for their Ukrainian war.

I was just thinking today about how it's probably incumbent on progressive Jewish officials at this point to publicly denounce ADL, and AJC too for that matter. We can't have a vacuum that allows casual observers to think these bigots represent us.
If NH House Republicans spent half as much time lowering property taxes as they spend obsessing over where trans people go to the bathroom, maybe our state wouldn’t be in the financial crisis we are in right now. #NHPolitics #NH01 #ProtectTransRights

Your long read for the week. We reviewed 20 years' worth of property records, permits, county council meeting minutes, assessor data, business records, land plats — and more — to track how a derelict Western Maryland farm became the site of an emerging ICE concentration camp.
I worked so hard trying to place a story about TPUSA and CRA and it was so long ago I literally don’t even remember it (pre election 24 was a lifetime ago).
(Reuters) - The U.S. Navy has refused near-daily requests from the shipping industry for military escorts through the Strait of Hormuz since the start of the war on Iran, saying the risk of attacks is too high for now, according to sources familiar ..
