I was in my first formation flight yesterday! The Canadian Aviation Museum fleet (with @flightchops.bsky.social in his RV-14) did a flyover for a charity & I rode in the back of the Chipmunk (@peacewind.aero was in the back of the Harvard). I even got some stick time. More difficult than it looks!

Ryan Walters, the Oklahoma schools chief who wants bibles in the classroom and Christianity taught to kids, just got caught watching adult content.

On his work computer.

During a Board of Education meeting.

Read that again.

The internet comes for trump today for drowning dozens of kids in TX because he wrecked the National Weather Service.

In a different time, another place that might matter.
Not in America 2025.

We did nothing after Sandy Hook.
Sacrificing our children means nothing in America.
It's who we are.

There is nothing to celebrate in America today, which is burning by self-immolation, locked in an orgy of unrestrained racism, misogyny and end-stage capitalism.

Today, I value my EU citizenship like never before, its principles & privileges, like living freely across the EU. It is now invaluable.

In 2023, ICE's budget was $8.5B + 22k employees

2024: $9.6B

2025: $25.9B

trump's Big Bill of Fascism adds:
$8B for more agents
$30B for admin + "bonuses"
$75B for ICE over 4yrs.

If bill passes, ICE gets 120B in 2026

That's why I'm leaving the US.

It is now a police state hellscape.

A 6 year-old.

With leukemia.

Grabbed at Immigration Court.

Who has since missed medical appointments.

And who wet himself when an ICE agent showed him the gun in his waistband...and wasn't offered a change of clothes for hours.

Monstrous.

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida.

If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

Lander was accompanying an undocumented person out of a hearing, walking arm-in-arm to protect him from being snatched.

When masked ICE agents grabbed the guy anyway, Lander refused to let go until he was shown a warrant. Instead of showing him the warrant, they cuffed him and dragged him away.

This is awful in southern Nevada. It’s important desert tortoise habitat, and encourages sprawl.

It’s also going to be hard to get water for these areas. Groundwater is over allocated in these areas.

Being an hour outside Las Vegas isn’t going to useful in any way for low-income workers.
