Your hand opens and closes, opens and closes. If it were always a fist or always stretched open, you would be paralyzed. Your deepest presence is in every small contracting and expanding, the two as beautifully balanced and coordinated as birds' wings

Everything looks burned up, I'm too scared to look around
Don't feel like going on, but come on, make a joyful sound

They're going to keep shooting nurses and poets, parents and neighbors dead in the streets, and every single time they do it they will concoct a lie to justify what they've done.
The fact that people know this, and still stand up to them, scares them absolutely shitless.

The scylla of everyone treating every news story like they just started paying attention and acting naive and brand new
The charybdis of pointing out nothing is new and acting jaded and above it to the point of denying new contexts and realities to stay safely embedded in left ideologies

And I’m not gonna sit here and pretend that Tucker Carlson hasn’t spent years calling my people animals. He doesn’t believe in ‘the individual’. Otherwise he wouldn’t be demonising trans people.
Again, this is not complicated.

I defy you to find me a more useless venal and cowardly group of people than the modern Democratic Party. The fact that this is the raft we all have to cling to as this country descends into fascism is fucking galling. Schumer doesn't need to be primaried he needs to be pilloried.

Calling the Democrats “cowards” suggests that they're scared to do what's right when they show no fervent interest in being an opposition. They're largely colluders, not cowards. Many want their base to think they're cowards to maintain investment in the idea that they can be pushed to do better.

CHARLIE BROWN: The deal agreed upon today contains major concessions. Lucy, for example, has agreed to give me two attempts at kicking the football tomorrow. But to me? What matters most is that I can at last continue with my important work on the pitcher's mound

I'm not super familiar with the rules of American football ( @jamesstout.bsky.social is our Sports Correspondent) but I'm getting the impression that it's possible for the loser of a football game to be the president of the United States, which is interesting.

Please be conscious if you protest this weekend that there are feds at the protest. They look like you and they sound like you, not like Steve Buscemi in that one clip with the skateboard. Thinking you can spot them is self delusion. Nobody you haven’t met needs to know your last name.
