That's a good corrido title

When I visited the village, one elderly resident β€” who had never set foot in Ingram β€” estimated some 20 or 30 people in the village were recent deportees from the town. β€œEl Charger negro,” he said, with a knowing nod.

But the weight of what Alexander was doing started to settle on him late last year. He said he gets flashbacks about a specific traffic stop, when he handed ICE the husband of a woman he knew. It was between Christmas and New Year’s. She was less than 2 weeks postpartum.

Early this year, I visited Ingram, a TX town of ~1,900, to check out a tip. The area was starting to recover from its worst flood in a century. But as Latino workers drove to jobsites to help rebuild, the tipster said, a cop in a black Dodge Charger kept stopping them ... 🧡

The only way to stop this is with strong privacy laws. Putting the onus on the consumer via a maze of settings and opt-outs is not the way. Some suggested using a smart TV unit and disconnecting the TV from the Internet. That's just moving the point of data collection from one device to another.

Just finished John Carpenter's "They Live" (1988) for the first time. This and "Sinners" (2025) should be categorized as documentaries

How many movies are there about the end of the world? Can you name a few? How many movies are there about the end of capitalism? Why is that? Here's another one. Heaven is a huge part of evangelical Christianity. In heaven, everyone gets a mansion. Streets are made of gold. Why no movies on that?

Funny thing about ingroups: The rules can change faster than you can grab your passport.

(Bloomberg Gift Link). So it's just a shell game then. They don't have an overarching strategy to help individuals directly. "President Donald Trump will amend the tariffs to add new ones to replace the exclusions so that the overall tariff impact is unchanged, a US official said."

User Interfaces have gotten better. It didn’t happen overnight, but using a computer or device in the 90’s and 2000’s was usually a slow, frustrating β€œwhat-were-they-thinking-when-they-designed-this” experience

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

This Matt dude is so obviously an op. Couldn't be more transparent. "Yeah, you should totally go swim with the alligators," said the alligator pretending to be a crocodile

A helpfully clear exchange here Hasan: "So your argument is that [Minnesota ICE protesters] should stay at home because immigration is a salient issue for Donald Trump. Opposing ICE is only going to help Trump. Wait until we win the election in 2028." Yglesias: "Yes that is what I would have said"

Saw ANOTHER person say my indictment was the best thing to happen to my campaign. Let me be clear: It severely limited what I could say, where I could go, and what I could do. I had to worry about prison AND legal fees for myself AND my (amazing) field director. Political prosecutions aren’t fun.

How to defeat tech billionaire power? Look at Solano County. When billionaires invaded their community with plans to build a "tech utopia," Democrats AND Republicans banded together to fight back. In a triumph of local democracy, they stopped the project...for now. 🎁 www.wsj.com/us-news/sili...

America needs to follow suit and replace all these mugs of former slaveowners on the currency with hedgehogs. If not now, when? If not here, where? The time is now and the place is here.

JD Vance on H-1B recipients: "It's one thing if you were to bring in a person like Elon Musk. I think 99% of American citizens look at somebody like Elon Musk and say, 'if that person wants to come in and build something great in the US, we support that.' But if you're bringing in an accountant... "

Wrongly indicted, charges dropped, and now we learn prosecutors allegedly knew the Reflecting Pool renovation was failing and they charged David Hearn anyway. I hope he sues their asses off.

I'm not an expert, but there's something happening in the U.S. bond market and it's having global repercussions. Could be a sign of things to come.
