“What do you mean they can deport abandoned children?” “What do you mean you can be refugee for being a persecuted white South African but not a persecuted woman?” “What do you mean being abducted and enslaved by terrorists makes you deportable terrorist?” Immigration law is worse than you think.

Incredibly funny to find this text—sent while Caitlin Clark was going giga viral during Women’s NCAA March Madness—and do your due diligence, but check only the NBA and Men’s NCAA game schedule. It’s one of the most Republican ways to crater your public profile ever devised

Who shared something recently about “digital blackface”? Since I read it, I keep seeing digital blackface by us white people. And it is horrendous. It makes white people who post gifs of black people look like ignorant bigots. White folks please don’t post gifs of black people.

Just a reminder that these are the words of my mother, a PhD in Special Ed., when explaining why my father tried to kill me, aged 9, over an autism diagnosis no one in the family world fully explain to me: "We didn't think you'd be functional." It doesnt stop at idiot, they can be eugenicists too.

When I emailed my city council member about Rose Avenue, I got a very boiler plate response from their assistant. I asked my partner to reach out (as I have asked y’all as well) and the response back was so polite, kind, empathetic, and from the councilwoman directly. It didn't happen to him.

Tonight in Saint Paul MN the sun sets before 7 pm at 6:58 pm for the first pre-7-pm sunset since Saturday March 7 2026, the last sunset before we changed the clocks to daylight savings time for the summer. From here the early sunset keeps getting earlier rapidly until it is setting at 4:31 pm Dec 6

Well, today in Saint Paul astronomical twilight started at 5:28 am. At 6:03 am nautical dawn will start. At 6:37 am civil dawn will start & you will be able to see to walk your doggies. And watch the sun come up, which will happen today at 7:06 am. The sun will set tonight at 7 pm on the money.

I feel much better this morning! So probably a quick virus, at least. That Rolling Stone editorial revealing the writer’s narrow perspective about how we all should know the song by now … thank god it has traction here for the xth day: …that means ICE didn’t publicly mangle anyone probably?

Okay so I've built a new Atlas, this time it lets you explore the conversations on Bluesky over the past 7 days graphically. It should update every ~6 hours and help you navigate the information environment that exists on here. I've learned a LOT about what people do here today... atlas.jazco.dev

Feeling better today. Marginally. But already showered & gonna get housework done here then help my parents in their house then head home to get myself fed & in bed by 9. Or that’s the plan. I read a great essay about ai & the rationalists behind it (I will give the link later here) & it …

2026 was a huge year for expansion of our transit system and next year is going to be even bigger! Gold line, Green line, G line and more. So lucky to be in a city where our public transit system is being invested in.

My brother is at my parents’ house right now; so they are okay. When I wake up from this nap I will decide whether to drag myself in & out of the shower & go help there a bit, or call & tell them I am sparing them my contagion.

I just read up on him & his challenger. The republican candidate is ewwww even more than most, taking all the normal horrible positions but also this: “Firearms: Lahn supports constitutional carry. Lahn supports loosening gun regulations to allow permit holders to carry firearms on school property.”
