A kid with a Gilbert U-238 Atomic Energy Lab kit, a real educational toy sold by the A.C. Gilbert Company in 1950–1951. The kit actually included low-level radioactive uranium ore samples (in those little jars), a Geiger counter (the metal box he's peering into), headphones for listening to the clicks, and other items like small mineral specimens.

Simply horrifying. The whole of DHS has got to be disbanded. We did just fine without them before.

DHS was only formed after 9/11. We were FINE before it and will be BETTER when it’s disbanded.

"What’s happening in Minnesota right now defies belief. News reports simply don’t do justice to the level of chaos and disruption and trauma the federal government is raining down upon our communities. …

Let’s be very, very clear" this long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it’s a campaign of organized brutality against the people of Minnesota by our own federal government."

For better or worse, just driving along familiar roads in SF’s East Bay—the Mission Hills area of Fremont, up to Pleasanton and San Ramon—gives me a feeling of being home that hasn’t lessened in three years of living in Florida.

Kristi Noem says people should be prepared to prove US citizenship:

"Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem advised reporters that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers may ask some Americans for proof of citizenship during enforcement operations"

"ICE is stealing and selling people’s things after brutalizing them."

And that is just a tiny detail, a throwaway line, in this catalog of brutality.

On this day in 2001 Wikipedia was first edited. That was 25 years ago. A cause for celebration.

Have you made an edit to Wikipedia? If not, today would be a good day to do so.

Alright in the light of morning more details are coming out.

It appears the initial ICE shooting incident occurred as ICE attempted to go door to door last night.

They came to a Spanish speaking household who refused to comply with illegal orders.

Instead the family called their local police for assistance.

Their side of that call was recorded and posted online this morning.

Update: Translated video attached

Corporate Dems like Schumer & Booker are pushing "strongly worded statements" demanding ICE "needs more training."

They're missing the point. The problem with badly trained Nazis is not that they're badly trained—it's that they're Nazis!

You don't train Nazis. You abolish them. ABOLISH ICE. NOW!

Schrödinger's Mask.

Aren't masks amazing? When it comes to disease, their use is an imminent threat to an officer's health and safety, but when it comes to accountability, their absence is an imminent threat to an officer's health and safety.

Who could have predicted this outcome except everybody:

LA County's mask ordinance is now in effect, but law enforcement and LA officials are declining to enforce it against ICE:

Happy 25th to #Wikipedia, the largest repository of knowledge in human history!

To celebrate, I wrote for @freedomofpress about how Wikipedia would not exist today without the robust free speech and press protections in the U.S., and that we need to sustain and expand them if we want to survive for another 25 years.
