The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

Thinking about how the Jonny Bravo type is no longer satire. The sentence needs a rewrite. But the idea is there.

We’ve got to use our voices and our bodies to protect our neighbors
“Short bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, said [Whitney Hu, a community activist and organizer with South Brooklyn Mutual Aid], ‘you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street.’”
As ICE Street Raids Ramp Up, New Yorkers Stock Up On Whistles
Taking a cue from Chicago, community groups have distributed thousands of whistles in recent weeks — a grassroots system people in other cities have adopted to help neighbors sound the alarm.

i just read something about grief from C.S. Lewis and his book, “A Grief Observed”
basically, when someone you love dies, it isn’t just them that you miss, but the parts of yourself that person brought out of you that can never be brought out again.
i feel that with my dad.

My grumpiest opinion has got to be that I am truly sick of people complaining about basic interactions with others around them. Oh the cashier said “hi” to you? Good. Idle chitchat with random people is actually social glue and an important ingredient in a properly functioning society.

Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power. If you have a rubber-stamp Congress & courts that deliver more power to the executive, suddenly you have an authoritarian state. It's here now."

Look I am just saying that if we simply threw women, Black folks, immigrants, LGBTQ people, Muslims and other minorities under the bus we could go back to discussing the class-based white people politics that I, a white male pundit, am most comfortable discussing. Is that so hard?

My main gripe with this is presuming that the federal government wants to avoid an accident. They are clearly trying to provoke one

Portland Mayor: ICE Facility Is a Disaster Waiting To Happen
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s visit to Portland was a taxpayer-funded whistle-stop tour to prop up a ludicrous fable of domestic terrorism.

Suburban white women: You have more power in this political moment than almost any other demographic. The ICE guys are terrified of you. The cops know better than to arrest you. Speak the truth the rest of us can't.

Every type of Portlander was represented today at the No Kings protest except for, ironically enough, portlanders that would consider themselves the “real” antifa. Just funny when considering the propaganda. Lots of retirees, tho. And plenty of kids
