@ai6yr Sadly the 97yo Grand Canyon Lodge at the North Rim had burned and is gone as of today. (Designed by architect Gilbert Underwood in 1928. ) 50-80 structures destroyed in area.😢
Hopefully all visitors, parks workers and fire fighters are ok. #grandcanyon #wildfires #arizona

Jamie Garcia, murdered by ICE.

"My uncle Jaime was just a hard-working, innocent farmer. He was chased by ICE agents, and we were told he fell 30ft.

They took one of our family members. We need justice."

Listening to the July 3 episode of Behind the News. One question Im left with is given how private equity purchases of businesses are leveraged with outside loans - why is any entity loaning these deals money given how badly they perform? Maybe I will have to read Meagan Greenwell's book

For Linux users who want to remove DRMs from ebooks they've legally purchased, so as to read them on the ebook reader they've also legally purchased for their intended purpose: I've updated my setup to replace using #AdobeDigitalEditions through wine with the simple and marvelous libgourou library.

Florida Governor DeSantis refused to release names of people the state has forcibly interned in the Everglades, but today the Miami Herald released a list confirmed by DHS. https://archive.ph/2025.07.13-114542/https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/immigration/article310541770.html (archived version, no paywall).

Downtown L.A., June 2025. Protesters fill the streets after mass ICE raids tear through immigrant neighborhoods. LAPD fire over 600 rounds—rubber bullets, tear gas, bean bags. Marines patrol the city. And still, they call it peacekeeping. Still, they call it order.

A road cuts through what used to be a neighborhood. Concrete spills from gutted apartments. Wires hang loose like veins. A single building leans like it’s trying to stand. Three small figures walk down the middle—no destination.

Entire families buried beneath what was once home. Walls turned to dust. Lives turned to statistics.

And still, they say: this is defense. Still, they say: they seek peace. And those who bury their children are named the enemy.

@Deglassco I love all your threads, Dr. Glassco, but I think this one is special in the way it ties together the recurrent theme of “those the law binds but does not protect, and those the law protects but does not bind.” Also, the way the latter define themselves as the “good guys” to the point of absurd atrocities like “we had to destroy the village in order to save it.” Thank you for your clear vision and historical perspective.

@Deglassco

The sad fact is that we're a violent species, and as violent as things are at the moment they aren't a patch on the violence we have historically meted out against each other.
Don't misunderstand me, I know there are peaceful, kind humans out there, but violence wins out every single time and the sooner those of us in the "merciful" camp, per the attached quote, acknowledge this fact the better.

@Deglassco It is impossible that no one recognises these utter fuckers. Name and shame them. Also- why call to report a child playing with a probably fake gun?

@Deglassco they love to hide their crimes behind misuse of words, re-framing, and what-about-ism. Tools to distract, deny and deflect from the crime they commit.

and they are crimes. They will use words to try to avoid accountability in the pursuit of power.

Fuck those assholes. All of them. Fuck them all. :(
