This year, I have challenged myself to read more. Instead of committing to reading a number of books every month, I set a simple target of trying to read at least 10 pages per day.
It’s not much but with a busy schedule, I wanted a manageable goal.
Here is what I’ve been reading:

According to the US Coast Guard, the year prior to Trump changing our policy to summary execution, only 21% of the vessels interdicted by them off the coast of Venezuela suspected of trafficking drugs had drugs on board. The other 79% had nothing. But now we just kill them all.

Rich Lowry is a bigoted piece of shit whose existence makes America a worse place. He's vapid patrician gentility used to mask gutter racism. He's a Brooks Brothers pocket square used to wipe Nick Fuentes' ass.

Our immigration policy is now based on what Stephen Miller assumes are the inherent racial qualities of each group: Chinese people and Asians are untrustworthy and suspicious; Latinos are criminals and drug smugglers; black people are stupid and lazy; white people are hard-working and virtuous.

There are specific reasons Trumpists want war on Venezuela, but there‘s a generic one: they crave power to make war on anyone, any time, for completely fabricated reasons, and then to use the guise of war to increase violence and repression everywhere, including home.

The federal government is making open threats of genocidal violence now from its social media platforms.
This is a literal turner diary or siege level Neo Nazi call to action and is an attempt to foment violence against anyone who is not white, male and Christian.

it is interesting, all family trees have that one ancestor they're really ashamed of, and now we're seeing the making of those ancestors in realtime. three, four, five generations down the road these will be the people everyone wishes they didn't have blood-ties to and skims over their lives.
DOJ is now recruiting for immigration judges by calling them “deportation judges.”

At a recent gathering of Rogers Park volunteers, we heard from a neighbor who choked up telling us about their dad turning around and going home when he heard whistles up the street. "One of you may have saved his life that day." It all matters, it really does.
One thing that is tough about rapid response/patrols, besides constantly being threatened by armed secret police, is that for the most part they see the defeats. There are exceptions, but you’ll never know how many people were saved by slowing feds down, whistles, community alerts, etc.
