Extraordinary, powerful and heart-wrenching. Active duty Marine Colonel Zach Schmidt, speaking in his personal capacity, about Khalil, an Afghan national whose family helped U.S. forces in Afghanistan. Khalil was deported by the U.S. on Friday to a conflict zone.

Today’s front page of the dead tree version of The NY Times seems to be implying Native Americans are immigrants to the US. Editorial miss?
Color coded map of the US marking what immigrant group populates that area. Title is tracing the roots of a nation of immigrants. But Native Americans are listed

@standupforscience.net and Nobel Prize winner @pkrugman.bsky.social are kindred souls on the damage Trump is doing to science. paulkrugman.substack.com/p/maga-is-wi... All of us must not be complacent. It’s immoral. Economically foolish. And occasionally even illegal.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Apparently only children and very short people can protest now according to National Park Service rules. Letter given to the protesters of the longest protest, recently kicked out, of Lafayette Park.
News article about kicking out protesters in Layette Park. It says they took up more than the allotted 3 cubic feet.

Idea for an amicus brief: We list the powers in a chart let's say Louis XIV claimed for himself, and maybe the courts can just indicate with a checkmark which ones of those Trump doesn't have. Seems more efficient.

Good heads up especially for media: do not take a bunch if correlations by motivated actors seriously. If they don’t preregister their hypotheses and data, chances are the results are spurious and cherry picked

What's gone unsaid in all this talk about homeless people in DC is that so many in the Capital are veterans who are now having the military aimed back at them for the crime of being poor.

He has kept among us in times of peace Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution & unacknowledged by our laws.

To the NOAA scientist that was giving out flags back at the March protest, know that your gift is getting good use. Spent the day at the Unite For Veterans Rally today. America made a sacred promise to care for those that served. Veterans aren’t waste, fraud or abuse.

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

At a rally today it was noted that it took Hitler 53 to take over democracy. Today is day 53 of Trump’s 2nd presidency. I celebrated it with veterans. The right does not own patriotism.
