This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

There are three things that have made me hopeful despite myself since Trump's election:
1) The immortal science of Marxism-Leninism

everything this admin does falls into the "really stupid" bucket or the "insanely sinister" bucket. by default most stuff goes into the really stupid bucket. while putting a really stupid item in the insanely sinister bucket looks bad, putting an insanely sinister item in the stupid bucket is worse

Needless for a variety of reasons, not least of which is that Flanagan already made a Mrs. Carmody-style god-botherer the central villain of his Vampire Island show
