Schools all over the state of Illinois had reports of active shooters called in to the local police departments at the same time. The school I teach at was included. We were in lock down, police surrounded the building, searched, nothing was found. This whole situation is so fucked up. I'm sorry. I hope you and your students aren't too shaken up by the experience.

What kills me about Feinstein is I feel her legacy will end up being that she held on too long when she has such an impressive and interesting career and life.
I recently learned about her surviving the Harvey Milk assassination and being an early huge advocate for LGBTQ rights. Instead she's spending her sunset years in a very public decline that has serious implications for the public she so loves.

'The judge overseeing Dominion Voting Systems’ lawsuit against Fox News said on Wednesday that he was imposing a sanction on the network and would very likely start an investigation into whether Fox’s legal team had deliberately withheld evidence, scolding the lawyers for not being “straightforward” with him. The rebuke came after lawyers for Dominion, which is suing for defamation, revealed a number of instances in which Fox’s lawyers had not turned over evidence in a timely manner. That evidence included recordings of the Fox News host Maria Bartiromo talking with former President Donald J. Trump’s lawyers, Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani, which Dominion said had been turned over only a week ago.' nyti.ms/402te3k

It’s kind of similar to RGB holding out for too long, and now we see what that has done to the SCOTUS. I know it’s not exactly the same because they thought Hillary would win and be able to appoint, but imagine what could have been if Obama had been able to appoint a judge and RGB could have basked in the years of retirement knowing the difference she made, rather than the dark reality that came. I might be teary eyed now.

Aren't she and Mitch part of the Gang of Eight, too? Mitch is. She isn't anymore bc she isn't Intel chair, Mark Warner is Honestly, that's a relief, if the reports about her mental state are even partially true.

this is so important. When Portugal decriminalized opioids, they also opened harm reduction centers to provide those already addicted ways to stay safe. They also provided addiction day centers for recovering addicts to have somewhere to go to be with others who understand their struggles which really helped too. But overall, we can't prison people out of addiction. Even alternative courts like drug courts can still be punitive and seen as such. Harm reduction efforts should always be supported. This, and I’ll also add the importance of housing first initiatives as well.

Jesus Christ. I'm betting the girl child married at 12 that he supposedly knows (I fucking hope he's lying) was in a situation where she had no choice in the matter. This isn't the Middle Ages. There's no reason whatsoever for anyone that age to be married.

There's no reason whatsoever for anyone that age to be married. Parental permission is not enough. There is absolutely no reason. None. Anyone who thinks a 12 year old is old enough to get married is a fucking pedophile. Yeah, I said it.

I’d like her permanently removed from the committee, but I guess this is something.

I’m seeing lots of calls on IG for Feinstein to resign.

This WaPo article is BANANAS. Teenagers dish on a gun/paramilitary enthusiast intel Discord server administered by the likely document leaker, known to them as OG. 😳 Gifted article: wapo.st/3zVj5LiETA: The leaker appears to have been a 20-something flexing to his online teenage friends by sharing confidential documents obtained at a military base (WaPo speculates the Pentagon).

The Feinstein stuff finally made the news. And origami you said it perfectly. She is an icon of SF and CA politics. I don’t know why she feels she has to hang on to this position. Especially knowing that Newsom can pick her replacement and would probably weigh her input heavily. It’s part of why I feel she might not have full command of her decision making skills. Which just bums me out.

Reading that WaPo article it made me think about our HIH community and if one of our regulars started dropping Nat Sec Intelligence to show off. It’s just really something, and a dynamic with SM that wasn’t the case a generation ago.

CA Capitol in Sacramento evacuated due to a credible threat this morning. Senate was in session and has been relocated. Yikes.

Also, a suspect in the stabbing death of the Cash App CEO Bob Lee was arrested overnight. It appears the have been a targeted attack by a man also in tech and Lee was in a car with the suspect prior to the stabbing.
This story went wild here as an example of the dangerous streets of SF because that is a hot topic in the media. I’m sure just as many stories will be run to counteract that now that more is known. /s
