One teen told ICE officers he lived with his dad down the block, but that his dad was deaf. They didn’t try to contact the father before deeming the boy “unaccompanied” and detaining him. “They’re kidnapping people’s kids,” a former Biden official told us. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Abdelaziz was an FBI informant until the Bureau dropped him because they suspected he was a double agent. Looks like Ka$h (far right) has forgiven and forgotten.

Thiel's reputation for contrarianism is well founded. Forever the chess player, he revels in trying to outthink the competition, in devising the unexpected move—the seemingly absurd but devastating maneuver that no one sees coming.

"Peter doesn't have any problem with that." A devoted J.R.R. Tolkien fan from an early age, Thiel is equally enamored with Kirill Eskov's The Last Ringbearer, a retelling of The Lord of the Rings in which Sauron is a beleaguered victim and the elves are bellicosely bent on world domination. "Gandalf's the crazy person who wants to start a war," Thiel explains, "and Mordor is this technological civilization based on reason and science.

Perhaps the most striking of many things in @doctorow.pluralistic.net 's compulsively-readable "Enshittification" (2025) is this gloriously-ironic factoid from the Orwell estate, requesting that copies of Nineteen Eighty-Four be sucked from owners' machines into a memory hole. 💩 #MinistryOfTruth

"When Amazon created its Kindle ebook platform, it included a facility that allowed it to reach into customers' devices and delete or replace the books they had paid for. Two years later, the George Orwell estste demanded that Amazon use this facility to delete certain copies of Nineteen Eighty-Four from its customers' Kindles without telling them."

I have to keep saying this. Trans rights are very unpopular on face but extremely sensitive to persuasion and question wording. In other words very few people care deeply about them, one way or another. Electorally, there is no advantage or penalty for Democrats to take one way or another.

It’s not “third-country deportation,” it’s an extraordinary rendition, complete with torture and enforced silence by the “host” country’s thugs. And it’s a direct consequence of never imposing punishment on the CIA for doing this during the War on Terror.

Governor of Utah, vetoing a bill against trans girls in sports: "Four kids and only one of them playing girls sports. That’s what all of this is about. Four kids who are just trying to find some friends and feel like they are a part of something."

Finally, there is one more important reason for this veto. I must admit, I am not an expert on transgenderism. I struggle to understand so much of it and the science is conflicting. When in doubt however, I always try to err on the side of kindness, mercy and compassion. I also try to get proximate and I am learning so much from our transgender community. They are great kids who face enormous struggles. Here are the numbers that have most impacted my decision: 75,000, 4, 1, 86 and 56.

75,000 high school kids participating in high school sports in Utah.
4 transgender kids playing high school sports in Utah.
1 transgender student playing girls sports.
86% of trans youth reporting suicidality.
56% of trans youth having attempted suicide.
Four kids and only one of them playing girls sports. That’s what all of this is about. Four kids who aren’t dominating or winning trophies or taking scholarships. Four kids who are just trying to find some friends and feel like they are a part of something. Four kids trying to get through each day. Rarely has so much fear and anger been directed at so few. I don’t understand what they are going through or why they feel the way they do. But I want them to live. And all the research shows that even a little acceptance and connection can reduce suicidality significantly. For that reason, as much as any other, I have taken this action in the hope that we can continue to work together and find a better way. If a veto override occurs, I hope we can work to find ways to show these four kids that we love them and they have a place in our state.
