Thank you to everyone who has reached out with concern. Late last night, I woke up to my car, car port, and home engulfed in flames. I'm grateful for the quick response from Portland firefighters who prevented the fire from spreading even further.

Such a ridiculous setting for an Adam Silver interview. Knicks city dancers parading by. The game going on in a split screen. Great get, but why is this not during the half.

Streaming services are going after shared accounts like Micheal Corleone at the end of Godfather II. Prime, HBO, and Netflix shutting things down within a few weeks of each other. Damn.

While we wait for the 9th (and now 7th) Circuit to address the issue of guard deployment, I keep coming back to this. If Portland's "facts on the ground" are legally sufficient to deploy military on our streets, the days of whimsy as protest are over. Because why bother. 🧵 1/x
The coming national horror is that if Portland's *truly* minimal level of protest justifies federalizing and deploying troops, they can and will be federalized and deployed anywhere the President wants and whenever he wants.
My initial read on this argument: Judge Nelson is eager to disagree with his 9th Cir. colleagues that federalizing the NG is reviewable at all.
He's also eager to disagree with Judge Immergut that the Portland protests were small and under control.

If people just got comfortable saying disabled and disability and reckoned with these as neutral identity markers, without the implied pity and assumption that they’re some kind of punishment that remove a person’s possible contentment or humanity, we’d be better off. But instead we get ableism.

imo "violence aimed at elites from non-elites" is the category of violence most disfavored in elite discourse. and violence that flows from elites to non-elites is not conceived of as violence at all. and these ideas frame the entire elite conception of who charlie kirk was and what his murder means
I think there are a lot of answers that have already been floated around here, and I've even offered some myself, but I did want to sharpen the question a bit.
