country mouse in city shoes.
At least one verified permanent resident has now been the target of ICE efforts. I will be willing to bet that they will next escalate with a move against the status of a naturalized citizen before end of March.

We’re really just gonna roll charles’ mug out on money this year and have him as one head of State, while he’s inviting Trump to a state dinner amidst his repeated talk of annexation & now Navarro pushing redrawing of borders?!? Not my king.

New via NYT — The CIA sent the White House an unclassified email listing all employees hired by the spy agency over the last two years to comply with an executive order to shrink the federal work force. One former agency officer called the reporting of names a “counterintelligence disaster.”

So many journalists spent the better part of the last year allowing for “both sides” and distancing of the Trump campaign from project2025, or not covering its content at all. Now it’s playing out page by page. If the ship is ever able to right itself, history will remember those journalists.

Many quick to dismiss Musk's beyond dog-whistle roman salute today as just an awkward gesture, some even placing it on his neurodivergence. Well here's a google image search of him waving to crowds over 15 years before today... that's not how he waves. Journalists need to call this what it was.

Somewhere out there there’s a scotus gambler who just hit a huge parlay bet for Alito to mention pornhub, gore Vidal, and Buckley jr in a question.

Terribly sad events in New Orleans. press conference sure didn’t help address security failures. Barriers that aren’t sufficiently spaced across entry points to be narrower than a car are useless. & Politicization from @senkennedy.bsky.social & governor Landry. Two profoundly unserious people.

freeland is going to learn a good lesson for her future prospects as she makes her play: It's never a good look to be the one holding the knife. If you don't have sufficient support among colleagues & party brass to have folks to do the shivving for you, then you don't have enough support.

New theory building article on education as a path to upward mobility from doctoral candidate Yunung Lee. Yunung pushes our thinking on upward mobility toward a more developmentally informed model. Feel fortunate to be a part of this one. doi.org/10.1002/rev3...

I hope before they settle down for a peaceful sleep that the multiverse versions of us who aren’t facing down 4 years of the likes of gaetz, Kennedy, gabbard, lynda McMahon, Hegseth, & company trying to collapse the republic at least sends out some appreciation vibes.
