A federal judge in NY has blocked any effort by the Trump administration to deport Mahmoud Khalil – whose arrest and imminent deportation Trump celebrated on Turth Social today — until further proceedings play out. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
This is a bigger scandal than people realize.
It really makes it look as though this entire meeting was a setup by Trump that was planned in advance.
If you watch the video it is clear that they are deliberately and almost derangedly blindsiding Zelenskyy. Now we know who the audience was.
Putin.
Beginning the rail part of my journey soon, once I get to Atlanta. Frustrating that the only passenger train options are northeast to DC or southwest to New Orleans. Very likely the latter, and then further west.

Typical road food, y'know?

Having gotten up at 4:45 this morning, this looks like paradise. Thank you, @laquintahotels for the early check-in and the free airport shuttle. Made myself some tea and going to veg on this kind bed for a bit. Nice that the fitness center is directly across the hall. #americross2025 #knoxville
When you pack for weeks away on the road, those heavier clothes feel a lot heavier when you gain 25° in the space of two hours.
First flight since I can't remember when. Pray for me!

The ONLY permitted service to Monomoy.
Picked up this morning (and I was concerned it wouldn't get processed before any personnel changes at USFWS).
Then filed my taxes. Just a couple more tasks to go before the weekend.
Sharing is caring.
Sounds like a typical Date Night to me.
Looks like something familiar, but I can't place it.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:
DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.
ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.
REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".
It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.
EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.
Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)
Here is the oath all executive branch employees take. It is to support and defend the Constitution, not to “implement the president’s agenda.” If the two purposes diverge, the Constitution prevails.
“I’ve been working seven days a goddamn week since COVID, and I come in, and—where is everybody else?”
Not getting paid nearly as much as you.

Granted, it was a long trip.
Good morning. Making espresso with only milk and sugar. No muffins to grill in butter, as would be appropriate.
HOLY CRAP. FREE.

This is what I meant. Not that some hackers were going to charge $5k to my Citibank.
dillying is a gateway to dallying
Since a bunch of teens without any security clearance now have a copy of my all tax returns along with bank account numbers, credit scores mean NOTHING now.
Any loans or credit accounts opened in my name? No, I didn't. Prove it.
Father-Daughter road trip, she made friends with my familiar.
Reader’s Digest Feb 2025 issue featuring my tweet from Feb 2, 2024: it’s ok not have a valentine on Valentines Day. I didn’t have a groundhog on Groundhog’s day
I guess an old tweet from a year ago made it into the February 2025 issue of Reader’s Digest? My HS German teacher just emailed to let me know… 🤣
Reasons to Live Through the Apocalypse Sunrises. People you have still to meet and laugh with. Songs about love, peace, anger, and revolution. Walks in the woods. The smile you exchange with a stranger when you experience beauty accidentally together. Butterflies. Seeing your grandparents again. The moon in all her forms, whether half or full. Dogs. Birthdays and half-birthdays. That feeling of floating in love. Watching birds eat from bird feeders. The waves of happiness that follow the end of sadness. Brown eyes. Watching a boat cross an empty sea. Sunsets. Dipping your feet in the river. Balconies. Cake. The wind in your face when you roll the car window down on an open highway. Falling asleep to the sound of a steady heartbeat. Warm cups of tea on cold days. Hugs. Night skies. Art museums. Books filled with everything you do not yet know. Long conversations. Long-lost friends. Poetry.
I wrote this on one of the darkest days of my life. It gave me an anchor to hold onto.
