I found this terribly sad. A young woman with her life ahead of her, and she becomes one of the last American victims of the Long War.

Trump wants to DOUBLE Argentina's bailout to $40 billion to save his political ally.
Yet he is doing nothing to prevent 15 million Americans from losing their health care and 20 million from seeing a doubling in their premiums.
Is this what Trump means by America first?

I feel pretty comfortable opining on this. In Matthew 25, Jesus tells his disciples that mistreating any person is the same as mistreating God.
"... I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not give me clothing, sick and in prison and you did not visit me."
"... I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not give me clothing, sick and in prison and you did not visit me."
I generally refrain from calling things unchristian because Christian theology is very much not my department. But JD Vance implying that hospitals should refuse emergency medical care to immigrants is not at all consonant with what I understand Christianity’s whole thing to be.

NEW: ICE agents violently arrested a man in a busy Hyattsville, MD intersection this week, at one point brandishing guns and pointing them at bystanders.

Someone once said NextDoor is the social network for dogs if they could type. It’s always “what’s that noise?” and “who’s that stranger?” which is exactly what I imagine my dogs would text other neighborhood dogs.

Code ownership makes good sense in the Desert. There’s no other way to prevent externalities, people breaking other peoples’ stuff. In the Forest, a team would rather take a hit than make sloppy changes to unfamiliar code. But also other teams are glad to help. #ForestAndDesert
