After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

I was a sensitive kid. I loved cats. I had OCD, undiagnosed.
When I was 9, a fraternity brother tortured a cat to death in my hometown. The details even now are beyond imagination. archive.is/xdmUL
I was traumatized for years from reading the news story.
The torturer? Now the head of the NRA.

I really am just trying to model that it's ok to say things.
We should be using our voices and we should not be looking away.
And the more of us that say things, the faster things change.

This is what 9300m looks like in the deep sea. Small, free-moving bristle worms swim through dense fields of slender tube worms. The bristle worms are only a few centimeters long, while the tube worms grow tubes up to 30cm, creating a crowded, living landscape on the deep seafloor.

Do we really think that a Canadian government that can't find the moral clarity to act against a child abuse platform will resist a multi-pronged American assault on Canadian sovereignty?

Expect to see a surge of proud ignorance and proplawganda about what you can say about ICE agent Jonathan Ross, identified by local media as the person who shot and killed Renee Good.
In particular, expect a repeat of Rittenhouse-era “accusing him of murder is defamation” rhetoric.
It’s not.
