Chuck Schumer again says that in 2026 Senate Dems will be focused on “affordability.” He is a disgrace as Senate minority leader. The Trump executive branch is occupying a U.S. city, rounding up people on the basis of their skin color, shooting at and killing citizens for peacefully protesting and observing. That’s the imperative focus.

XScreenSaver 6.14 is out now, including iOS (soon) and Android. A whopping eighteen new savers this time! As I mentioned last month, I wrote a new XScreenSaver module that is API-compatible with Shadertoy, which means that I am now able to pull demos written that way into the XScreenSaver fold. These 18 savers are the first of that batch...

This captures something important that I've been struggling to articulate all year; these MFers went after universities and science funding because those institutions make claims to truth based on more than "the party says so."

Now we're at the logical conclusion:

I genuinely think the Icelandic government should reject this proposed ambassador outright. It's impractical to have an ambassador who jokes about invading the host country. Generally not considered to be good diplomatic practice.

People are fed up, and there's a general understanding that the time for peaceful protest is over. Don't get me wrong, they were important to do, to show dissent to the power and to show ourselves that there's a lot of us. But now it's just getting to a point where they "make the violent revolution inevitable" (quoting JFK).

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.

"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. …

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:

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:
