I think headways on the blue line should be better than 15 minutes. Like, in general, but especially during rush hour.

The first train that arrived was entirely full. Shocker!!!

Senator, all due respect to Asian Carp haters, for whom I'm sure this is a big deal, I think the fact that he threatened to annex Canada again merits a mention.

I have jury duty today.

On the way to the courthouse, I swung by @stevevladeck.bsky.social’s office at Georgetown Law. Picking which prop from his office to bring to jury duty was really hard! I narrowed it down to these two.

Think I’ll get selected?!

'Everything gone': Venezuelan family says they lost their home and jobs after being detained for 2 months Adriana Laya and Miguel Alberto Caicedo thought their worst nightmare was over when they were released with their two children from a detention center in Dilley, Texas.

Even when an unlawfully detained family is released from ICE detention, the nightmare does not end. Many families, like Laya and Caicedo's, have their lives destroyed by DHS while they strive to navigate our complicated asylum system.

Apropos of nothing, when we invaded Iraq gas prices rose precipitously, and they never came back down to prewar levels, ever.

Please get on the doors or phonebank for Nick if you haven't yet. The establishment is doing everything they can to make sure the incumbent keeps her seat. Lawn signs on every corner, streaming attack ads, mailers every day.

They've got money, we've got people.

bluesky being immediately negatively polarized into going with skeets because we were asked not to was the first sign that we were going to make it as a posting site

This ad shows her getting attacked by ICE as she protested.
I was there.
I saw what happened.
It was worse than these clips show, and her bravery was obvious.

After tear gas and pepper balls, after getting thrown to the ground, when the gas cleared she sat at that very spot, and started knitting.

This is an escalation by DHS.

Six US Citizens and permanent residents are now home after being held over 30 hours at O’Hare, transferred to Broadview, and moved across state lines.

Community pressure got them home. So many more do not have that support.
