In the beginning there was chance. I don't have faith, I have standards: corroborated evidence. Systems that require self-sacrifice to sustain them are already broken. Be kind to yourself.

My fellow humans, meet ¯\(ツ)/¯ <--- Chance

¯\(ツ)/¯ is the bedrock structure needed for the universe as we see it today. Yep...I'm claiming that.

AND she's a terrible human being. If she does this when there are rules in place (that she's clearly ignoring), what does she do when no one is watching?

Don't even want to think about it.

Ty for sharing.

Totally supported by the evidence. These people cannot be responsible with their funding. Totally within the scope of Congress to provide oversight. Don't let this one get away.

Supporting articles of impeachment from the junior branch of the Legislature against several members of this administration is the most patriotic thing I can think of to do. Prayers and statements don't do anything.

Tincher v. Noem now includes first-hand evidence of a fatal federal shooting. When force precedes verified threat and documentation trails the act, the constitutional sequence fails. Courts must intervene to halt enforcement that outruns due process.

I think it's more "listen to your nervous system; the Golden Rule is the best we got and that's what it says to do."

Whatever the reason, I agree with the conclusion. Doesn't matter how we got here, we're here.

Thank you for being brave. I'm sure it's not easy.

Remember when the people who push back at you are at their loudest...they're still completely incoherent. Their volume won't change that fact.

This tragedy — another American killed — shows that existing oversight is insufficient. Senators have a responsibility to ensure constitutional limits are respected. Please use your oversight and funding authorities to demand transparency, records, and accountability before more lives are lost.

When corroborated harm persists, the Senate’s duty is oversight.
That means hearings, records, conditions — and appropriations control if needed.
Authorization pauses until constitutional limits are restored.

Stay sane and healthy out there.

None of us are going to make it out alive anyway. We may as well enjoy the ride and do what we can to leave things in better condition than we found them.

@ssrn.bsky.social The people have spoken. My "learn along with me" series isn't popping. No problem, means less work for the good people at SSRN because I will collapse the rest of my series into classic research papers.

Can confirm. It's pretty terrible. So glad I had a spine and learned to reject early, but not everyone has that...and it shouldn't be an issue to begin with.

It is NOT too much to demand competence from your member of Congress. Anyone who's bitching is just being unprofessional. Full stop. An incoherent position for anyone getting paid to do a gig.

Glad the persistence has paid off. That's why I keep sharing my work into the silence. Eventually, intelligent people will pick it up. Until then...I wait and keep the work honest. Just like you all. Ty for the professional example and inspiration to keep going.

Enforcement without legal predicates isn’t enforcement — it’s unlawful force. The Constitution requires reasonable suspicion, warrants, and accountability. This lawsuit asks the courts to restore those limits.

100% agree.

Treating people how they want to be treated (the platinum rule) is far superior to the golden rule anyway. So this approach is consistent.

Well said.
