Unfucking real.

SHOCK NYT REPORT: DHS now admits the man ICE killed in Houston wasn't even their target. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a 35-year U.S. resident, was just driving to work when agents — with no body cameras — shot him dead searching for two other men who weren't even in the van. Gift link in reply.

I don't go into the ocean. Because I live in Oregon*. * if you know you know, and it's not because of sharks, it's because the water is cold enough it literally hurts.

I know it's just feeding the algorithm and what not, but I have to admit that I am addicted to watching videos of these "Sovereign Citizen" meatballs getting pulled over in traffic stops and end up going to jail. It is amusing (in a spectacle sort of way) for me.

That we celebrate the signing of the Declaration of Independence today, given that one of the grievances explicitly spelled out in that document, was the King was obstructing immigration into what was to become the United States… is irony writ large.

Grievance #7 in July4th festivus document: "He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands."

Over the past few days I've seen a huge amount of "World Cup Fans See A Side of America" videos on YouTube all with the same performative narrative about how "shocked" they are at how awesome the U.S. Maybe it's my cynical side, but it strikes me a fake engagement performance slop. Thoughts?

NEWS: 29-year-old Democratic Socialist Melat Kiros will defeat 15-term incumbent Rep. Diana DeGette in the Democratic primary for CO-01. Kiros, a first-time candidate and former attorney, dominated the Denver assembly and tapped into anti-incumbent sentiment.

This country was one person's vote away this morning from putting any birthright citizen in danger of being deported tomorrow. We are so much closer to the abyss than we think. Man oh man.
