Today in history, 1960: Harper Lee publishes her first novel, To Kill a Mockingbird. Noted for its treatment of a child’s awakening to racism in the South, the book won the 1961 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. It was an immediate success, eventually selling more than 40 million copies.

So I’ve seen rumblings of folks saying they’ll dress as ICE to safely take immigrants following the legal process out safely, but I had a better idea this weekend that doesn’t carry the ‘impersonating a law enforcement officer’: dress as the priests Pope Leo is sending as a courthouse moral compass.

Woken up by my dog from a weird dream that reminded me of Flowers for Algernon, a title I genuinely haven’t thought of since I read it in HS.
Which naturally makes me want to read a HS summer read, The Hot Zone.
Off to Libby. Happy Saturday - stay cool, everyone.

An LAPD helicopter claimed to have ID'ed protesters from above and threatened to "come to your house."
The threat was greeted with extreme concern by civil liberties and digital privacy groups. It suggests the LAPD could be using facial recognition to identify and retaliate against protesters.

The practice, an expert warns, could lead to "reprisals and retribution by the police for your politics.”

My father was a career ATF agent, getting pretty high up by the end.
*Because of his dedication to gun laws and violence for his entire 20 years at the agency.* He was at the dedication of this last year.
Disgusting.

The Hidden Power of Alcohol: A Tool for Control!
I want to explore how alcohol dulls our minds, numbing our awareness and weakening our will— a state that leaves us more vulnerable to control and less likely to question the systems shaping our lives...

Apparently, previous administrations used Signal as a way to "notify someone that they should check for a classified message sent through other means."
This BS about other administrations using it, so nothing to see here is ridiculous.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

President Trump on Monday visited the Kennedy Center in Washington for the first time since he made himself the new chairman. He had harsh words for "Hamilton," which canceled a planned tour there after his takeover, but seemed excited about a long-planned "Les Misérables." nyti.ms/4bZfX2U
