ANNE APPLEBAUM: "Regarding Russia, the quantity of Patriot air-defense missiles, that has been used in just the last few days [in the Middle East] would have been enough to protect Ukrainian cities from the devastating blows to the electricity system over the past couple of months.

The United States has made a choice: it doesn't want to protect Ukraine or help Ukraine survive the war. Instead, we've decided to use that same capacity for this war of choice, one with an unclear outcome, against Iran. And the Europeans have seen that. The Ukrainians have seen it."

New from me: Legal immigrants are now getting tickets for not carrying their papers under a decades-old law. You can be cited if you're a permanent resident, international student, on a work visa, etc. Happening in southwest AZ but could spread inland https://t.co/ZldwTekEfs

New from me: How the tech and tactics from the war in Ukraine is inspiring a new approach to surveillance at the U.S.-Mexico border. Reporting from Ukraine with visuals by @PNickCurran, support from @IWMF, and many others.

[AZCIR || @azcir.bsky.social @ArizCIR]

Drones “battle-tested” in Ukraine are now being piloted at the U.S.-Mexico border, where the boundaries between local police and military operations are becoming increasingly blurred.

This is the most important story I write for The Oaklandside, sadly, every year: Those who die from traffic violence. In 2023, 33 died while driving, biking, and walking. All had interesting, complicated, full lives and histories people should know about:

@NotoriousECG I definitely will have to ask for my title to change to reporter/climber at Berkeleyside 😛

[Ally Markovich @allymarkovich]

@NotoriousECG had me on @TheBayKQED (one of my favorite shows) to talk about how I came to listen to the deep stories of Indian Rock and Mortar Rock, and how other climbers and visitors could engage with present-day Ohlone narratives there, too.
