Got this really cool, ghostly picture by accident the other day in Dillon Beach, CA. It is a Heermann's gull with both it's shadow and reflection.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.

They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.

France also gave us this land as American soil.

Some pretty stunning answers here from DHS Deputy Secretary Troy Edgar in today's interview with NPR's Michel Martin, in which Edgar equates pro-Palestinian protests with terrorist activity and can't point to any crime committed by Mahmoud Khalil: npr.org/2025/03/13/n...

I've been thinking a lot about that bumper sticker which says "everything looks like a conspiracy theory when you don't understand how anything works" and folks it's pretty obvious to me that the people in power right now have absolutely no desire to understand how anything works.

Socialism is what they called public power. 

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Starting this week, we’ll all pay more at the store because of the Trump tariffs, even while he’s finalizing a multi-trillion-dollar tax cut for the wealthy.

All the bluster is meant to get us talking about literally anything else.

You may have encountered the so-called "see-say sequence" before:

1, 11, 21, 1211, 111221, 312211, 13112221, ...

where each term "describes" the sequence of digits in the previous term.

For example, 111221 consists of "3 1's, 2 2's, and 1 1."

I learned something new about it today.

Former Blackwater CEO Erik Prince wants the Trump administration to let private military contractors take over mass deportations.

None of this is about making America safe. It's about using human suffering to enrich the border-industrial complex.
The Truth About the U.S. Border | Robert Reich
The full story about immigration you aren't getting from politicians and the media. Watch More: The Military-Industrial Drain ►► https://youtu.be/OnR84h7t5kI A desperate combination of factors are driving migrants and asylum seekers to our southern border, from Central America in particular: deep economic inequality, corruption, and high rates of poverty, as well as violence and instability tied to historic U.S. support for brutal authoritarian regimes, right-wing paramilitary groups, and corporate interests in Latin America. In other words, the United States is very much part of the root of this problem. Some politicians want you to believe the way to address this humanitarian tragedy is to double down on border security and build walls to deter people from coming. They’re wrong. Several administrations have tried this approach. It's failed every time. Our bloated spending on the border-industrial complex has done nothing but increase human suffering without dealing with the root causes of...
