Another very long day. One of the lessons I have learned is that it is not enough to simply do the work of fighting for democracy. Lawyers must show their work to the public and explain the stakes. That is why I started Democracy Docket. Help me grow it by subscribing today. demdock.com/4w6emld

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

Exclusive: Democrats press White House on still-secret AI framework
It’s the latest indication that Democrats are not giving up on a sustained push for answers from the administration.

NEW: Reports reveal Trump is letting Big Tech write its own AI rules. OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic said the rules were too strict. Trump made them voluntary. Then Musk and Zuckerberg said they were too harsh. Trump cut the 90-day review to 30 days. I’m pushing for guardrails.

Trump and Republicans handed YOUR tax dollars to Big Tech companies like Meta and Amazon. So how much of your money is subsidizing their data centers and AI spending? You deserve the truth. I'm pushing these companies – the same ones that are donating to Trump – for answers.

Thank you for leading the team that wrote the onboard software for the Apollo missions, guiding Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to a safe landing on the moon. Yours is an amazing legacy & everyone should know your name. Goodnight and godspeed, Margaret Hamilton. 🕯️

Love these photos of a gansey sweater over at Highland Threads. Such great knitting. A gansey is a type of fisherman sweater with identical front and back sides. Last photo shows one from Flamborough Marine, my favorite contemporary maker for this style. highlandthreads.co.uk/wick-museum

🚨BREAKING: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) over the past year investigated hundreds of nonprofits across the U.S. that help people register to vote, according to new records analyzed by Democracy Docket. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

ICE  probed hundreds of voter registration groups across the U.S.
The agency also contemplated deploying undercover agents to "initiate prosecutions" against the groups and "dismantle" them.

But a lot still needs to change in Killarney NP. There's plenty of evidence of heavy browsing of tree seedlings, and large bands of goats were present in and around the park. Designated one of the worst invasive species on Earth by the IUCN, there should be *no* goats at all in any national park.

I'm delighted to say that, after many years anguishing over the desperate state of Killarney NP, I'm seeing a partial ecological recovery, like this wild baby arbutus tree. Such positive signs can only mean one thing: the NPWS must finally be taking a more proactive approach to invasive sika deer.

25 years ago today, the U.S. launched its war in Afghanistan. Weeks earlier, Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against the 2001 Authorization of Military Force, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars. History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.

Reminds me of the French political cartoon by Charles-Joseph Traviès where King Louis-Philippe, in pear form, is weighing on his constituents with his body.
Mauvaise Charge, published in 1832, shows a doubling of the Pear metaphor, articulating the head and the ponderous body that weighs on the shoulders of the people. The explanation of the plate emphasizes that in the title the word “charge” signifies the burden borne by the people and the caricature as such.

Georgia’s economy is 40X larger than Lebanon’s, yet they have shorter life expectancy. That should break every one of our hearts. Republicans keep blocking Medicaid expansion while families go without care. Remember who made that choice when you vote. #RepublicanHealthcareCrisis
