I've learned to avoid the term "buried streams," which suggests that a stream is waiting under the surface, ready to emerge if only you dig down to it. No, it's gone. Often the hydrology's altered so much that there's no water to sustain flows. Better: piped stream, lost stream, ghost stream.

I spoke with Betty. She was very emotional and asked me to tell you that “she would love to give each one of you a great big hug.” We’re so close to changing her life. If you can give $5 or $10, it would be awesome. If not, I completely understand, but a repost is free. Thanks very much.
I’ve only posted one GFM, and it’s my intention never to post another. But this one is close to my heart. I know the family personally and have visited with them countless times. If you can help out, it would be great. If not, I completely understand - but a retweet is free.

i think the synthesis so far of the LA/DC/Chicago experiences is:
1) vulnerable people should hide and wait it out to whatever extent they can
2) other people should help them do that, financially and otherwise
3) other people should also get loud
4) not violent though

Greg Bovino is leading a rebel cavalry terrorizing America—and it's important to recognize that it's in retreat. While the trauma and terror Bovino’s raiders instill is real and damaging, it’s remarkable to note how ineffective the force has turned out to be. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/trump-bord...

Here's how Jim Comey mocks Pam Bondi's attempt to retroactively make Lindsey Halligan a magical pony on Halloween.

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
![On October 31, 2025—36 days after Ms. Halligan purported to secure the indictment, 31
days after the statute of limitations had expired, and 11 days after Mr. Comey had filed his motion
to dismiss—the Attorney General purported to “appoint Ms. Halligan to the additional position of
Special Attorney, as of September 22, 2025, and thereby ratify her employment as an attorney of
the Department of Justice from that date going forward.” ECF No. 137-1. But that action cannot
retroactively transform Ms. Halligan into an authorized government attorney on the day she
purported to secure the indictment. In Lucia, for instance, the Supreme Court found an
Appointments Clause violation and set aside an adjudication because the relevant official “heard
and decided [the petitioner’s] case without the kind of appointment the [Appointments] Clause
requires.” 585 U.S. at 251. It did not matter that the official’s “prior appointment[]” had been
“ratif[ied]” by a Head of Department after the adjudication had been completed and “[w]hile th[e]
case was on judicial review.” Id. at 252 n.6. If such a post hoc ratification of a prior invalid
appointment sufficed, then the government could moot every Appointments Clause challenge.
The government cites no authority suggesting that an invalid appointment can be excused
so long as the government allegedly “intended” to vest the relevant official “with the powers” of](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo/bafkreif47wlavvtkcmm3xbwy76l2owgnsxuxqkm4uc6vmjlkupk2l66uwy@jpeg)
