My thoughts today are with the security people and police officers who defended the Capitol on January 6 and have been treated with such distain since by the GOP. For them and the Democratic leadership who lived through such chaos and no doubt continue to carry the scars within. We will not forget.

I remember when they were saying they were powerless to return a man they illegally sent to an El Salvador gulag because it would violate that country's national sovereignty.

Centuries-old trees aren't just wood—they're massive carbon sinks, storing CO₂ that would otherwise fuel climate change. A single ancient tree can hold tons of carbon for hundreds of years. Yet we're burning them for short-term profit. This isn't development. 🌳🔥 #Deforestation

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Someday there will be a 🎥 made about the bombing of narcotraffickers. Seth Rogen will play the new employee arguing with the establishment about the validity of the strikes. He has a mental breakdown when they decide to target rowboats in the Pacific.

Demented internet broke down today. About the same time, BART also failed in San Francisco. A train made a pop and stopped. Are they related? Let's hope it was only a coincidence. It's been breaking on its own without any help from the internet.
