Dear diary, roving gangs of thugs are tear-gassing the children and executing the adults, and the democratic party’s leadership is somehow NOT saying we should get rid of the gangs of thugs. Why is it such a scary idea that we could just not have roving gangs of thugs.

Congrats to everyone who covered the obviously bad faith, unprecedentedly illegal, & wildly unconstitutional data theft & dismantling of the federal government by a billionaire criminal Nazi & his henchmen as a legitimate process of “government efficiency.” Truly, well done.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.

It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

A fundamental difference btwn Judaism & Christianity is that while forgiving in order to be Christlike is central to Christian ethics, for Jews, REPAIR is far more important than forgiveness, forgiveness being an interpersonal option that one CAN exercise out of empathy, while repair is ESSENTIAL.

I've been sent video from the end of the ICE raid at the Zipps on 32nd and Shea.

It shows protesters -- on the sidewalk, impeding no one -- getting drive-by maced by an ICE agent from a truck as it rolls away down the road.

Hard to see how such tactics are justifiable.

Went to my local library this morning to do a bit of research for my current book project and my goodness such a life-affirming space! There was an adult being taught to read on the next table, children enjoying story time, countless people taking out books. So grateful for our libraries ❤️
