This morning, the package delivery person not only carefully placed my package at my front door, she carried up the Sunday paper from the front lawn, too! I'm ready to nominate her for a peace prize.
How is it that packages always seem to arrive the one time I leave the house?

@kashana.blacksky.app I'm bleary-eyed after four hours of sleep, trying to catch up on last night's posts. Yours are giving me life, and I cannot wait for my son to finally wake up so I can share them.

Graduate seminar did a deep dive on Thomas Paine’s Common Sense yesterday. At the line, “in America the law is king,” they (14 students from 6 countries) burst out laughing. I've been doing this for 35 years and this is the first time that was a laugh line.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.
She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.
This is not about immigration enforcement.
It's about terrorizing Americans.

This is all just being said out loud now on the air on Fox “News”, instead of away from the cameras like before. That’s what’s changed. They’re testing the response and normalizing the idea at the same time.

Okay, this whole thing is obscene, but I'm gonna need y'all to start referring to Hegseth as "SOW."
Thank you very much.

Signage around the Department of Defense offices were quickly changed to “Department of War” to match President Donald Trump’s rebrand of the organization, including Secretary Pete Hegseth’s nameplate.

Reminds me of when we had a Ukranian refugee join us at work, he sat in his new class and immediately 3/4 boys ran over and started talking to him. They had all learned some Ukranian phrases that might be useful and really looked after him. Nobody asked them, they were just wonderful kids!/1

If Fox News is questioning Russian interference in elections, they'd do well to look back at some of their old coverage. This from 2016 (I don't know why it says 2017...)

World War II ended with Russian troops using tanks and rifles to negotiate their way into Berlin, a bullet negotiating its way into Hitler's skull, and an atomic bomb negotiating its way onto Hiroshima. But it did not end with Churchill and FDR negotiating to give Hitler big chunks of Poland.
JD Vance: "This is how wars ultimately get settled. If you go back to World War 2, if you go back to every major conflict in human history, they all end with some kind of negotiation."
