Graham's distinction is the one that matters for clear-eyed accountability. Some of the Prairieland charges are ones any administration would have brought and rightly so. A police officer was shot in the neck. That demands prosecution. The question is not whether to prosecute - it is whether 50 to 100 year sentences served consecutively, for a crime that did not kill anyone and did not attempt to overthrow the government, are proportionate to sentences of 17 to 22 years for people who attacked the constitutional process of certifying a presidential election and then received full pardons. The judge who sentenced the Prairieland defendants called their conduct "an assault on democracy." That same phrase applies with more force to an armed mob that disrupted the peaceful transfer of power. The difference between the two outcomes is not the severity of the conduct. It is whose interests the violence served.

The difference between stiff sentences for anti-ICE activists in Texas and President Trump’s clemency for January 6 rioters raises uncomfortable questions about justice under this administration, @GrahamDavidA argues: theatlantic.com/newsletters/20…

Mobility. Sometimes the risk areas of math model and community line right up. But a lot of times - this extra step allows us to feature communities that might have objectively lower risk BUT would have significantly harder time responding or recovering from that risk.

My team builds wildfire models and “loss” starts with “losable” value and you end up sometimes prioritizing areas that have “more risk” cause the houses belong to millionaires. If client lets me; we show results overlaid on census, bls, any demo data we can find, including

Had missed this: After Katrina, DHS gave out $ based on property value - which meant, in function, richer (and whiter) parts of the city were flooded with federal cash and quickly rebuilt while some poor black parts of New Orleans STILL aren't rebuilt 20 years later. Trump has

There are some center-to-right wing accounts I follow that are more offended by the possibility that some public health sources are over-estimating the death count from Musk carelessly destroying US global health programs than by the core fact that Musk really did carelessly destroy US global health (and bragged about it relentlessly) in a way that clearly killed people. These people know who they are, and they're wrong.

Elon Musk bragged about feeding USAID into the "wood chipper" but now he pretends that whatever happens as a result isn't his fault. If DOGE had saved the federal government billions of dollars, you can be sure he would be taking credit for that. But somehow he's not

@NormOrnstein It’s not possible to ever undo logging, especially in old forests. They are doing irreversible damage to our environment and ecosystems.

It will take decades to undo the damage

The Trump administration will no longer provide public notice or consider public feedback when planning drilling and logging projects in federal forests.

@pinpulleddrmf @Armysmostok18B The hippiest dippiest officers I know are all long tabbers with some intel thrown in and esp intel that spent time with sof/socom. Also “coke to blows” is now my favorite typo (or maybe it wasn’t a typo????)

Jackson's framing in the dissent is the one worth holding. Green card holders are, by law, "as close to citizenship as one can get absent naturalization." They have gone through the process, paid the fees, established the ties, built the lives. The Immigration and Nationality Act was written with specific narrow exceptions for when that status could be revoked at the border. The 6-3 majority has now expanded those exceptions to include unproven allegations. You do not need a conviction. You need an indictment and a return flight. DHS can reclassify your status at the border, move you into removal proceedings, and let the conviction come later. Jackson called it a "massive blank check." The sequencing she describes - reclassify first, convict second - is not a procedural technicality. It is the architecture of a system in which legal status is only as secure as the government's current political interest in honoring it.

@estherzelda0514 @statesdj I grew up in Spanish Harlem and am aggressively liberal and I also aggressively agree that abolish the police DOES NOT PLAY WELL in working class minority areas. My neighbors and I, we hate incompetent police. We don’t want no cops we want functioning not racist cops.

The administration's legal architecture around this case is worth naming directly. Trump issued an executive order declaring antifa a "domestic terrorist organization" - a designation that does not exist under U.S. law. He then issued NSPM-7, expanding the definition of domestic

These sentences are a travesty and totally unjustified, but that's the point. Americans hate the fascist Trump regime, so the only way they can try to cling to power is brute force. NSPM-7 is a grave threat to all of us and more bullshit "terrorism" charges like these are coming. theguardian.com/us-news/2026/j…

In Texas you can rape a child for multiple years and the state will step in to issue a 30 day sentence. Oppose kidnapping and disappearing of neighbors and you get 50-100 years.

fuck the reflecting pool algae story, this is what the Trump administration is doing and it deserves to be front page news everywhere

My not a nice person opinion is that if a grown ass woman wants to free birth herself dead, we should stop hemming and hawing about it. There are women who want medical help and can’t get it - let’s save our energy for them.

Bathroom choice for dad's with young daughters can be tricky. You're trying to negotiate the potential reactions of other adults while handing business. The correct answer is to have a society that supports dads with daughters regardless of which they choose - especially when they are being respectful about it. Just wait for the kids to finish, and cut dad some slack, whether he chose the mens or womens. Neither is "wrong". No one should make it harder for the dad (or the daughters). Most of you all looking for conflict.
