Surprise! Neither dog nor snake were harmed. Both were pretty shocked though.

A year and a half ago, someone came into the ER room, where I was with my ill wife, to ask if I wanted to pay the enormous bill. We didn't even know what was wrong yet.

Whoa. @haleaziz.bsky.social has the scoop on a truly insane plan to use some military training ships for deportations, with people presumably shackled or locked in cells for days at a time as they transit to Central and South America. Each journey would be staggeringly expensive — and dangerous.

Journeys to destinations including El Salvador and Venezuela could take days and cost millions. Officials cautioned that discussions are still preliminary.

The whole third-country removal scheme is monstrous, but I think leaving people with no ID is low-key one of the worst aspects. You are made stateless. You can’t even get a money transfer from your family w/o ID, so you have to rely on strangers, who always take a cut and sometimes steal it all.

"The security officers were contracted through multinational private security company Prosegur" is not a sentence that should ever be associated with a U.S. election.

It’s always part of their asshole schtick. Wild out until someone mildly pushes back, then wail their faux outrage in hopes it causes negative fallout for their original target. They’re so obvious. The game is tired and they’re stupid.

I LOVE how @propublica.org dealt with official comment here, editorially and stylistically.

The Trump administration says none of this is happening.

"DHS is NOT arresting U.S. citizens by mistake." "There are no 'indiscriminate' stops." Allegations of "racial profiling are disgusting, reckless and categorically FALSE." "The pattern is NOT of law enforcement using force." "ICE does not zip tie or restrain children."

But that is precisely what is happening, and at a far larger scale than previously reported.

Earlier this week, I agreed to interviews with two USA Today journalists. They wrote fantastic articles about the Cornell case that I'm proud to have been a part of. What I did not know is that their employer considers interviews to proprietary and opens up recordings to be used by any journalist.

Neiman Marcus closed its downtown Dallas flagship on Wednesday. The store played a notable role in the history of desegregation in Dallas. Previously, Black shoppers across the US could enter department stores, but they weren't allowed to try on clothes without adhering to certain conditions. 🧵

There were dead birds washed up near the lighthouse I visited today. They looked vulnerable and poignant, no different in their way from a shipwreck victim from a century ago. The bodies fragile and too harshly treated by the light, but also beautiful and somehow remembered by wave and wind and rock
