Both were farmers. One was an immigrant from Northern Ireland. The other worked for the Department of Agriculture in the mid 50s and later was in the Iowa House.

Boebert is such an embarrassment to Colorado

Here we go, Colorado! Other states have stopped this. Peaceful protest, attending town meetings, community engagement WORKS!

One thing I am loving about Claude Code is that it can re-introduce me to code projects that I last worked on months ago

The savage layoffs and editorial undermining at the Washington Post β€” like the "DOGE" massacres and the takeover of Twitter β€” are civic sabotage, pure and simple.

When government and democratic institutions are undermined, those who want unaccountable power are strengthened.

America: where you can sell a random β€œwellness” drink at CVS, claim it β€œmay” somehow β€œreinforce” your immune system, and literally call it β€œThe Flu Shot.”

Heading to Minneapolis for a week, and need a hotel for part of the trip. Pretty hard to find a hotel that is not supporting ICE. Ended up renting little house in my old neighborhood...

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

A photo of the man murdered by ICE today, just before the shooting. He’s standing and holding a phone in his right hand and holding his empty left hand to the sky and looking behind him at a woman running away while an ICE agent closes in on him from the front. On the ground behind the man is a woman that the victim will soon try to help, leading several ICE agents to attack him and pin him to the ground, before shooting him several times.

We’re supposed to believe this is a domestic terrorist attacking ICE with a gun

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.
