Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.

Whatever's happening geomagnetically right now, I can't get a straight signal of our regular Michigan public station, but I'm getting the CBC radio station out of Windsor crystal clear.
We're listening to classical soprano Inuk artist Deantha Edmunds' episode of "This Is My Music."
It's lovely.

I saw two salties in the river today. One upbound, one down.
The river was super glassy this morning so the reflection of the earlier boat was really incredible moving along side it.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

This is far worse than anyone expected.
Trump's HUD plan would cut *two-thirds* of permanent housing and push as many as 170,000 formerly homeless people back onto the street—redirecting funds to work mandates, forced treatment, and encampment sweeps.
All as mass internment camps are being built.

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

It didn’t go far enough. It never went far enough.
Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.
So much work remains to be done.

Here's your chance to do something about the people being starved and beaten in Broadview ICE custody.

The Democrats, writes our columnist Jamelle Bouie, “need to fortify the American political system against future attempts to play dictator and lay out a project of genuine democratic renewal. None of this is possible without a willingness to use power rather than just hold it.”

Every time I see it, it gets worse...
Trump: Take a look at this if you want to see detail. Most people do a sign and paint it on the wall. So that's half inch thick bronze. Carved. By a very talented person. And it's brass. It's pure brass.

We put diverse faces and bodies on our covers, explored everything from sustainability in fashion to the fight for abortion rights, and sought to empower and elevate people changing the game across industries. We tell stories that no one else does, because we understand the power of being seen.

I just got my clothes ready for tomorrow because I have to be on a steel boat on the river when the real feel is supposed to be 28F & wind gusts 22mph.
Yeah. The winter coat that is too warm unless it's <34F, two pairs of pants, watch cap and hood, etc. JHC it's going to be cold on the water.
