@dfir Hi Dave, I approved your follow request, but I'm not here that much anymore. My account on the Appdot.net instance at @larand is my usual hangout. Probably more useful to follow me there. :-)
@Ronnie As someone who got his bachelor's degree at 35, it's never too late. Exciting!
After a lot of reflection, I’ll be mothballing this account indefinitely. You can follow me at @larand if you wish.

The lady who was murdered by the ICE agent had a 4 year old. That four year old lost his father last year. That four year old is now an orphan.

Think on that.

Who would have thought that the title of a 1946 East German film would resonate in 2026 America?

@digitalsnow Be my guest.
Stop calling ICE the American Gestapo. They’re the American SS, the equivalent of the Germans who signed up to be concentration camp guards. And should be ostracized as such.

Before I disappear for the weekend, this would be an excellent time to read this book by one of my former professors and mentors in history, the brilliant Fred Logevall, who is currently at Harvard.

@ai6yr I mean, Congress isn’t even involved in things like governing anymore.
