"With a judicial finger in the constitutional dike, It is so ORDERED."
BREAKING: Federal judge orders Adrian Conejo Arias and his minor son, L.C.R., released.
"The Great Writ and release from detention are GRANTED."
"Civics lesson to the government: Administrative warrants issued by the executive branch to itself do not pass probable cause muster."

![Ultimately, Petitioners may, because of the arcane United States immigration system, return to
their home country, involuntarily or by self-deportation. But that result should occur through a more
orderly and humane policy than currently in place.

Real good paper on the origins of some icons of the American West.
"For non-Basque Americans, these narratives created an exotic worker that offered no racial threat; for Basque Americans, they represented a way to belong to the American landscape without having to become racialized others.”

Cheery was aware that Commander Vimes didn't like the phrase 'The innocent have nothing to fear', believing the innocent had everything to fear, mostly from the guilty but in the longer term even more from those who say things like 'The innocent have nothing to fear'.

A good news story: a year old male mountain lion walking around a San Francisco neighborhood was successful tranquilized and relocated to wilderness, in part because the neighborhood helped out and had the right attitude.

You do NOT have to "choose" between validating your pain & moving past it. Realistically "letting go" of pain-- that is, developing the tools & willingness to influence & shift our focus-- requires validation & radical acceptance before we can actually move on.

Dems managed to get a 2-week delay on the DHS bill, so CALL YOUR SENATORS AND YOUR REPRESENTATIVE EVERY DAY FOR THE NEXT 14 DAYS. Tell them you want ICE, CBP and all the rest of it defunded and dismantled. Tell them you will be voting against anyone who doesn't do this. This is our chance.

We report during rainy golden hour: we got to a high point expecting a rainbow that is not coming. We can wait a little bit longer if the rain does not get much heavier. In the meantime, we watch a flock of gulls shimmering in the distance, loud even from this far away.

Scotty wants no fanfare.
Scotty’s been on our maintenance team for 10+ yrs and he retires Friday. Multiple coworkers reached out to me last week about the mentor & example he has been.
i asked him for an interview—which he politely declined.

But Scotty you sure had fans.
