Thoughts on Politics
“US Lawmakers Move to Kill the FBI’s Warrantless Wiretap Access”
I wish we insisted that our congressmembers treat the fourth amendment as being as important as the first or second.
“Ring’s Founder Knows You Hated That Super Bowl Ad”
People are worried about a vast network of cameras and AI tech that can find anything, anywhere. My cameras are mine, and so are the recordings they produce. If a neighbor loses their dog, I’ll be happy to help, but I’m not giving anyone the footage of everything that happens on my street.
“San Carlos Weighs in on ECR ‘Road Diet’ Plans”
Protected bike lanes on a major artery like El Camino would really open up riding over longer distances on the Peninsula.
“This Whistle Fights Fascists”
While it’s sad that this is necessary, I love that people are using the tech they have at home to help any way they can.
“I Grew up with Alex Pretti”
A touching tribute to someone struck down so needlessly.
“Monsters”
What’s happening in Minnesota is disgusting and un-American. The people running the government are, as Krugman’s post points out, monsters. Perhaps worst of all are the craven enablers.
“Hegseth’s Appalling Vengeance Campaign”
Hegseth’s actions are absolutely despicable.
“Why the Supreme Court Is Giving ICE So Much Power”
I thought that the Trump administration was simply not enforcing existing laws and protections, but it turns out that there is more of a legal basis than I understood. This is an article well worth reading.
“Indiana GOP Rejects Trump’s Map in Major Blow to His Gerrymandering Push”
It’s heartening to see there are GOP members who can hold the line.
“Trump’s Own Mortgages Match His Description of Mortgage Fraud, Records Reveal”
Of course he did the thing he accuses others of doing.
“The Ex-President Whom Trump Plans to Pardon Flooded America with Cocaine”
Absolutely disgusting, even for Trump.
