Getting the impression that ICE is gearing up for a pogrom in Springfield, Ohio, which was ground zero of Vance’s lies about Haitians during the campaign. Haitians lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. Reporters, lawyers, neighbors — please get ready.

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

I am laughing so hard.
Someone needs to make the vignettes from this old Catechism book into a gritty television drama.

A fun exercise in futility: trying to explain to my cat that if he keeps losing his toys, then we can't play with said toy anymore.

My husband was telling me about a judge that Trump was angry at with the tidbit that the judge "clerked with Scalia" and that tells you the kind of judge he is. When MAGA rejects those who clerked with Scalia of all people, you know they absolutely stand for nothing.

Too many (not all, but too many) people in the Hard Sciences still view folks in the Humanities & Social Sciences with a combination of disrespect, dismissal, and sometimes outright contempt. That's not cool and it's downright counterproductive, because these branches of knowledge *need* each other.

I'm so happy they've already closed school tomorrow. And we got the call as I was snuggled up with daughter on the couch. Her look of joy and excitement just warms my heart. I cherish every day I get to spend with her.

NEW: Minnesota BCA was denied access to the crime scene. They got a WARRANT and DHS STILL BLOCKED THEM. So DHS doesn’t need a warrant to enter your house, but an actual warrant to enter the crime scene is denied?

What's happening in Minnesota is one reason the Reconstruction Amendments banned insurrectionists from holding office. Unfortunately, the originalists on the Supreme Court interpreted the plain language of the amendment to mean its opposite.

This album. Just beautiful from start to finish. I still listen regularly because I think part of it lives in my soul.
Boys for Pele was released 30 years ago today. I checked it out from the local public library and shortly after bought a copy for myself. I was 17 years old. In hindsight, this album kickstarted the deconstruction of my faith. (A good thing) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boys_fo...
