Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

This is awesome. Print is such a good way to get around a bunch of distribution (and surveillance!) mechanisms that seem otherwise mandatory in this very gross economy. It is really nice to see it spelled out like this.

It works great for us, and it'll work great for other places!
404 Media is making a print zine! About the surveillance technologies used by ICE. 16 pages, riso printed. Shipping early January. Features reworked versions of our best reporting and a few new things. We're very excited! And hope to do more if people like it:

Trump’s sham Pardon Attorney, Ed Martin, announced a mass pardon of at least 77 people involved in efforts to overthrow the 2020 election results. This is another unprecedented and extremely dangerous use of the pardon power. Please watch and share. youtube.com/shorts/cHkqw...

A tour de force that grew increasingly insane with every twist. I felt genuinely bad for the people who think these TV screens will heal them -- and who are funding MAGA media in the process.

About 1300 (I heard from organizers) patriots showed up in Newport, Oregon (pop 10K) for No Kings rally. Gorgeous fall day, huge support from those driving by on US 101 through town. @indivisible-oregon.bsky.social @wyden.senate.gov @merkley.senate.gov @repvalhoyle.bsky.social

Oregon has been the national leader on vote-by-mail for decades. Now Donald Trump thinks he can undermine our elections for his own benefit. Hell no.
Trump administration sues Oregon to force it to turn over full information about every state voter
"I look forward to seeing them in court," Oregon's secretary of state said.

Enjoyed this interview!
One of several takeaways: Constructive scientific criticism is a form of respect i.e. indicates your science matters!
Geneticist Mary-Claire King has had a remarkable career. She changed how we understand hereditary cancer, helped reunite families after Argentina’s dictatorship, and upended conventional wisdom about our evolutionary origins.

Literally, can we all just accept that Donald is the one creating the deep state and that the accusations he spouts are really him revealing what he’s doing!
