To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

It broke my heart to write this poem, and I would give it back if I could reverse my brother's death or my mom's diagnosis. But it doesn't work like that. So I'm trying to open my hands to the joy of having a poem in @thenation.com. Thank you, Kaveh Akbar, et al.

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

In twelve days, New Yorkers will begin to cast their ballots and face a stark choice.

A choice between democracy and oligarchy. Between a city you can afford or more of the same. Between the hope of a brighter future or a broken past.

We will choose the future.

My kindergartener was repeating the step of her active shooter drill today. Apparently they’re supposed to look, listen, throw things at the shooter, then run away.

What a fucked up country we live in that we teach kindergartners to take on people with guns instead of regulating the fucking guns.

NHL weekend rankings: It’s too early to know anything, except maybe in Buffalo
It never makes sense to panic when you're two or three games in. Still, let's sort some teams after an eventful weekend.

Our government is engaged in child trafficking. They transported a kid across state lines, something even a parent is not allowed to do without the express permission of the other parent. Someone in the GOP needs to explain how this makes this country safe. 2/2

The thing that is most devastating to me about the ongoing evisceration of the public health infrastructure in the U.S right is how little awareness of what's going on the majority of people in the general public have and the impact this will have on their health and safety.

I admit it was more exciting in real life than it is in the photograph, but my first sighting of a porcupine in the wild, at a rest step off Rt 17 near Owego, NY today.
Photo of tall trees against a blue sky. Circled in purple is a large porcupine resting in a nook in one of the trees.

When you read Project 2025's sections on public health, the complete rage and vitriol just oozes off the page (along with a bunch of batshit loony ideas). It approaches nihilism, despite whatever else they might claim.
The De Facto Trump Administration Blueprint, Project 2025, Is Full of COVID-Related Insanity
Among the torrent of bullshit that is the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025–a blueprint for a second Trump administration–is this section on public health (pp. 451-452; boldface mine): Goal …

Attempting to “live with” (aka ignore) airborne viruses circulating at high levels *is a choice*.
