If it were just Americans inflicting themselves with imagined trauma and crippling paranoia it would be bad and sad enough but the fact that a lot of the social media influencers spinning up the propaganda are literally apathetic twenty-somethings out for a few bucks just makes it worse somehow

On the other hand I think it would be very funny to retitle literary fiction light novel style. “Oh No! This Author Stand-In is Unhappily Married”

So proud of New Yorkers who trapped hundreds of ICE goons in a federal garage and stopped a big roundup of Canal Street vendors.
(For those who don’t know, Canal Street in Chinatown is known for mainly African vendors of knock off swank goods. It’s where ladies from Long Island buy their “Prãda.”)

Federal immigration enforcement officials called off a planned raid on Canal Street today shortly before it was slated to begin.
New Yorkers who heard about the raid showed up at the garage where the feds had gathered, and as federal agents tried to leave, the NYPD cleared the way for them.

And I don't know if the answer is: everyone is too traumatized to do work and we need to reinvent society. Or if it's more like: generations are losing their cognitive abilities and willpower due to destructive technologies. Or: we all have post-viral brain damage. Or: all of the above.

WHOA. Trump says he will pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez, who once said that he wanted to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” He had people killed as part of his narco-trafficking ring, which he at times operated directly out of his presidential office.

Sarah Beckstrom's ex-boyfriend told NBC News she dreamed of becoming an FBI special agent.
She didn't want to deploy to D.C.
"She hated it. She cried about it."
But she started visiting monuments and museums and started enjoying it.
May she rest in peace.
