Not loving how the 250th is giving “Stones at Altamont” vibes

I’ve lived in D.C. for nearly 20 years, and I have never seen this kind of Lord of the Flies panic on the National Mall.

Schumer really wants his book tour to go off like Altamont.
donmoyn.bsky.social Don Moynihan @donmoyn.bsky.social · Mar 16
Trump removed $400 million from a university in Schumer's state. Schumer reiterates Trump's argument (its about antisemitism) and then says he does not know where the cuts were being made. He also said Khalil should be deported if he broke the law, he doesn't know.
C'mon man. How do you not know?
The Trump administration just announced it’s pulling $400 million in funding from Columbia University, giving the reason as “relentless violence, intimidation and antisemitic harassment.” I’m wondering what you make of that. Schumer: Columbia did not do enough. I criticized them. And believe me, I believe in free speech, I believe in the right to protest, as you read in my book. I started my career protesting the Vietnam War. I say to some people, “If I were your age, I’d be protesting something or other.” So I get that, and I love it, and it’s about America. But when it shades over to violence and antisemitism, the colleges had to do something, and a lot of them didn’t do enough. They shrugged their shoulders, looked the other way. Columbia among them. So what did they do? They took away $400 million. I’m trying to find out what they took away. Are they taking away money from cancer research, or Alzheimer’s? What is the $400 million? It could be hurting all students. Students who go there who have nothing to do with the protest, students who might have protested peacefully, or Jewish students who were victims of some of those protests. So I think we have to see. My worry is that this $400 million was just done in typical Trump fashion: indiscriminately, without looking at its effect. What do you make of what happened last weekend when ICE arrested Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia graduate who is Palestinian, an activist and a green-card holder, who was one of the few participants in last year’s campus protests to identify himself publicly. Apparently Trump has made good on his campaign pledge and is set to deport him because of his participation. Schumer: I don’t know all the details yet. They’re trying to come out, and there’ll be a court case which will determine it. If he broke the law, he should be deported. If he didn’t break the law and just peacefully protested, he should not be deported. It’s plain and simple.

St Brigid's Day heralds the beginning of the first spring flowers, and one of the very best places to see the lovely snowdrops is Altamont Gardens in County Carlow.

This shot of the Darrieus wind turbines in Altamont Pass is such a vibe of a lost world.

Cool to see 19 new wind turbines generate as much electricity as 400 (!) old turbines in CA's Altamont Pass. The U.S. could more than double its onshore wind capacity with no new land via repowering, per a Stanford study: www.quittingcarbonmedia.com/a-repowered-... via @justingerdes.bsky.social
A repowered California wind farm rises in a birthplace of the industry
Quitting Carbon recently toured Brookfield Renewable U.S.' Mulqueeney Ranch Wind Repowering Project in Northern California's Altamont Pass, one of the sites where today's wind power industry was born.

“Genocide Altamont” shouldn’t even make any sense as a phrase but of course it’s something America is doing

"Private Security"

Hmmm...

That's what the Hells Angels were dubbed at the Rock Concert at Altamont in 1969

Yeah, I'm that old

It’s so funny that George Lucas was one of the cameramen on Gimmie Shelter at Altamont. Imagining him seeing the hells angels kill a guy and then going home and writing “Space Bikers” into a notebook and underlining it twice.

I still think the events that transpired at the 1969 Altamont Speedway Free Festival need a mini series.
What about you? 🤔
