Retired Army Sgt. Brian Wofford spoke to me this morning at the Oklahoma City #NoKings protest. Didn’t expect him to be carrying his DD214 so I asked some warmup questions like when he got out and whether his injury was service-related.
He paused while describing the car bomb in Iraq to say this:

As a kid, I was walking through O’Hare during the filming of Home Alone 2. At one point, Macaulay Caulkin was walking right alongside me in the terminal for a couple minutes. I was completely oblivious to this. Until we got to the gate, and my entire family freaked out at me for not noticing.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

Donald Trump deployed more than 700 active U.S. Marines — men and women trained in foreign combat, not domestic law enforcement.
We honor their service and bravery. But we do not want our streets militarized by our own Armed Forces. Not in L.A. Not in California. Not anywhere.

To be effective, our opposition to today's abuses must run alongside a clear picture of what we are actually for - and how everyday life could be better with different leadership.

Hey Democrats, wake the f—k up
The Democrats have neither the ability nor the will to fight back against President Donald Trump, SFGATE columnist Drew Magary writes.

Somebody yelled at me for posting about Ganymede instead of /the state of things/ last night.
I know we’re (almost) all on the same page here, but a Bluesky without cute cats, science facts, and dumb jokes would be bad for everyone.

We’re going to norm ourselves straight into idiocracy.
No better quote from Merrick Garland summarizes why he was the wrong man for the job than this from his farewell speech.
From start to finish, he brought norms to a Trump fight and democracy suffered.

Insert “Entire Bay Area Region” for “Town”. It is incredible how a place with so many people who claim to be innovators can also be full of the worst NIMBYs in human existence.
Town: Our doctors, nurses, teachers etc. can no longer afford to live in our community, we’re proposing to make it easier to build more housing.
Residents: NO!
—1 year later—
Residents: Why’s my favorite restaurant closing? Why do I wait 5 hours at the hospital?
Town: 😐
Residents: NO!
