Since the Internet Archive has popped back into relevance tonight, just an FYI: It's one of a handful of tech nonprofits that have low-key become super important *in general* over the years, and perhaps especially this year.
I feel like there’s a story to be done on the under-recognized importance of tech nonprofits to modern journalism.
E.g.:
• Signal
• RECAP/Courtlistener
• Internet Archive/Wayback Machine
• Wikipedia/Wikimedia
See also: nonprofit outlets like AP, ProPublica, and RNS, obvi.

For those of you who torrent, here's the torrent link to the Internet Archive video. It is 1.38 GB so if you can, use the torrent to reduce their bandwidth costs and seed for the next day or two until any short term demand blows over.

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 because Nate Silver has 300K subscribers on Substack and Heather Cox Richardson has 2.7M. Mediocre men CAN'T STAND successful women, and even blame them for their own failures. Pathetic.

I'm sure all those Libertarian-Republicans are fine with the Fed government tracking their movements by air around the country.
SCOOP: The Trump administration is providing the names of all travelers passing through U.S. airports to immigration officials in search of people with deportation orders, a substantial expansion of government efforts to draw on data to hunt down immigrants.

This seems more accurate.

Seems like this gold card is a grift to create a list of people that Trump can continue to blackmail every 30/60/90 days to stay in the country otherwise he'll send ICE a-calling. Want to stay here longer AFTER you've paid $1 million, better buy Trump-coin every month.
An insane political move. One of the recurring complaints about immigration in the U.S. is that those seeking asylum jump the line. This is line-jumping — but for rich people, not those in need.

As people made their way into a naturalization ceremony, ICE officials stopped 38 of the 100 applicants and told them they wouldn't be leaving with U.S. citizenship. The immigrants — who passed every step in the naturalization process — needed only to take the oath of allegiance to become citizens.

Trump is obsessed with taking credit for everything. If things were going so well, we’d see the numbers—and he wouldn’t shut up about it.

I'm thinking we need a new ballroom architect with better vision... perhaps a 3 story jewel encrusted gold statue of our dear leader. It seems finding the needed funding is suddenly not a problem.
When Trump says that a huge corporate deal "could be a problem," you can sense that someone's beak is feeling a little dry right now.

"I think the role of all churches is to speak out on issues, that’s what the Gospel is about. How we treat the least among us is how we ultimately treat Christ."
Father Josoma said critics’ anger about the Nativity says more about people’s priorities than the installation itself.
