This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in most American cities.

Back when I was a car blogger in the early 2000s I went to an event for dealership owners in a big tent in a parking lot and Kid Rock performed and no one got out of their seats and it was so embarrassing but now everyone’s seen it so at least I’m not alone anymore.

In which we visit Madrid, hang out with friends, eat tapas, and do a medium amount of walking.
Greetings from Madrid!
Making ourselves comfortable on the train I spent last week at a tradeshow in Barcelona, (hopefully) drumming up some business for my freelancing venture. Yesterday, Kristian and Lilian took the train to meet me. Today, we all took the train to Madrid to see some friends and be tourists. I've said it before and I'll say it a bazillion times again...

The Disguise booth was great AV fun. I loved the pairing of tactile buttons and knobs with high tech displays.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Fun fact: the french word for "to protest" is "manifester." As in,"je vais manifester cette glace" (I am going to protest this ice). It really brings new meaning to the term "I'm manifesting it."
Manifesting
Fun fact: the french word for "to protest" is "manifester." As in,"je vais manifester cette glace" (I am going to protest this ice). My first whiff of tear gas It really brings new meaning to the term "I'm manifesting it." One of the reasons we picked France as our european country of choice is that they have a healthy culture of political discourse and protest.

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.
This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

It’s hard to overstate how freakish it is for law enforcement who just shot someone to be shuffled off to other assignments with no investigative period at all.

Alexis Pretti n'a pas brandi d'arme. Le fait d'avoir une arme sur soi est constitutionnel aux USA, et il ne l'a pas brandie ni n'a cherché à la prendre
Bovino ment, comme pour Renee Good, mais ce gros sac à merde nazi ne doit pas oublier que tout le monde a vu les images

I'm looking for witnesses/victims of DHS retaliating against people who were recording their agents (ICE, Border Patrol, FPS, etc.) in Southern California.
This is for LA Press Club v. Noem case, but victim does NOT need to be press/journalist. Everyone has right to record. We're fighting for all.

But when I asked an organizer what they wanted to see out of press coverage, they told me they wanted people to see the beautiful things they are building here, and not just the worst stories of the worst of ICE's crimes.
What people are doing here is beautiful. It's a tragic beauty, but a real one

Funemployed
For the first time in my adult life, I don't have a full-time job. Perks of unemployment: lunches out with my favorite daughter We always knew that our move to France might mean that I couldn't stay on at my job. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to work things out with them. So, I'm going to freelance while I plug away at my french paperwork.
