As awful as it is, it does seem like ICE, used to raiding anonymous Home Depots and farm worker buses, may not have considered the full political dimensions of conducting masked authoritarian-style abductions across the street from cafes and offices holding half the working journalists in America.
NEW: Wearing masks, no ID, unmarked & blacked out cars, refusing to say what agency they’re from and using profanity with any press & public nearby.

This was at 14th & R in Washington DC, this morning (Sunday).

What the hell is happening to the US?

ANDOR is a stunning achievement (not just for Star Wars, but film/television in general). Tony Gilroy, Diego Luna, and company have crafted the definitive commentary on modern society and politics. The best Star Wars show of all time.

I don’t think Trump cars about tariffs and only cars about the market and putting us into a recession. He wants us to quickly go there so he can blame the prior administration for causing it.

Then he and his “republican” cohorts can “be the saviors” to swoop in and to save the day.

I see that the left think they got victory points on the protests this weekend. I do see it as a positive sign, but as long at the Democratic Party is not a United front, then it will not mater. We need strong leadership to bring the left together like Trump did for the right.

When did human language emerge?
Humans’ unique language capacity was present at least 135,000 years ago, according to a survey of genomic evidence. As such, language might have entered social use 100,000 years ago.

So you are saying essentially that if he is not prepared to quit that government job, he needs to go.

Gerber: Yeah, I think it's time.
Top Tesla investor Ross Gerber has issued Musk an ultimatum: If he is not prepared to quit his government job, he must step down as CEO.

He should stop meddling in our government and screwing the American people out of their jobs and benefits and go back to building his coffins on wheels.

Things are a big mess around Saturn.

A new study has identified 128 more moons around the planet, bringing the total to 274. And a whole group of Saturn's moons seem to be shattered bits from a collision in the (astronomically) recent past. 🧪🔭

🌟 Last night I took more images of supernova 2025efa in PGC 44317 (220 million light-years), again from the backyard. Data analysis using ASTAP shows the Type Ia supernova has increased in brightness by a factor of 3.3 over the past 3 days and is now at mag. 16.3V. 🔭 🧪
