At Boston Logan this morning, Terminal B, total time from entering the security line to my gate was 8 minutes. Only 2 travelers ahead of me.
Don’t buy into the politicized panic-mongering of DHS/TSA. Throttling security lines at some airports is pretty clearly a calculated choice.
Over five million people protested against the regime in June.
More than seven million people took to the streets in October.
March 28 will be even bigger, with nearly 3,000 events already on the No Kings Day map. Be part of the largest protest in American history: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

If you want to know #why the Trump admin attacked Iran, see who benefited from the subsequent leap in #oil prices.
Who bought stock contracts for oil stocks ahead of the strike? Who already owned oil stock? #followthemoney #corruption #epsteinwar
The fastest way to fail with a productivity tool? Turn everything on.
When stress hits, your brain defaults to habit — not new systems.
Start with one simple change.
Let it stick.
Then layer more.
Build incrementally, not intensely.

“Austin and his family had been swept 4km (2.5 miles) out to sea, in rough conditions, while kayaking and paddleboarding.
His mum asked him to take his kayak and find help”
Great story of #courage and #hope

Before any DHS funding, add real #accountability for #ICE. @raskin.house.gov has a bill for this www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...
The bill's text is crazy simple:
Section 1979 of the Revised Statutes (42 U.S.C. 1983) is amended by inserting “of the United States or” before “of any State”.
Amongst other things, this again highlights the core point about due process. It’s bad enough to be in a “show me your papers” situation, but your precious citizen/non-citizen, “legal”/“illegal” distinctions are meaningless when you can’t prove anything to authorities because they don’t give a shit.
Please read the article. I’ve never been prouder of a group of ordinary moms… #hope
As relevant as ever
I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.
But did you look at the judge's order?
It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept."

Nurses are pissed.
This is on the front page of the nursing subreddit, along with many discussions about it on several other posts.
Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at the VA hospital.
Dr. Dimitri Drekonja, a colleague of Pretti's, said Pretti was capable, competent and friendly. The kind of person who cared deeply about his work and his patients.
"He was a really great colleague and a really great friend."
According to Wikipedia, there are ~500k non federal police in US. They could protect themselves and us from #ice.
