New— An American citizen boarding flight from Boston to Lisbon just now told me after showing boarding pass, every passenger stopped on jetway by two ICE agents demanding to take their photo. When passenger asked why, ICE threatened to detain them. If they said no photo, couldn't board/TBD detained.

I don’t know if I coined it, but I say it a lot these days: fundamentally, venality cannot understand virtue. They will always be surprised and baffled by basic human decency, because they lack it entirely.

Alice Coltrane on John: “But he would sit there and the quiet was strong. It didn't make you feel isolated, but part of. I identified with it right away. And it was a kind of silence that you don't want to disturb. You don't interrupt with, ‘Oh, would you like some tea?’ You respect it.”

yes. this is one of the major weaknesses of an administration helmed by an indifferent and doddering old man and run by vicious ideologues. they are totally unresponsive to public conditions. also a sign that they are isolated from those republicans who are worried about elections
the Millers in the administration are operating on the idea that "politics" is actually irrelevant now that they control key levers of power. the show is not about getting people on board, but getting the public to feel a collapse of order. not sure how that gets them to dictatorship though.

This is actually important: Trump (as far as anyone can tell) doesn't believe that *anything* is on the level. He doesn't as much oppose democracy and the rule of law as believe that they've always been a fairy tale that only foolish dupes fall for.
Norwegian PM Støre says Trump repeatedly raises—complains about, pleads for, and demands—the Nobel Peace Prize every time they meet. Støre gives same answer each time: decision is made independently by Norwegian Nobel Committee, with no role for Norwegian gov—a concept Trump appears unable to grasp.
