$ Billions spent on the wall. They paint it black so it’s too hot to touch, but on the American side, and now this. That wall is more propaganda than a barrier.
If you saw this anywhere else, you’d call it a gate or a fence.

Before the story ended with Trump cancelling the tariffs and sanctions on Colombia, their president did write and post the following long letter on X. Here’s the translation. I recommend you to read it. He mentions Panama Canal and much more.

It's not possible to constantly react to everything this administration says. By "flooding the zone with sh!t" they are trying to distract and exhaust us.

The poignant poetry of the pain of loss.
This is Los Angeles. You step outside and breathe in the ashes of your friends' homes while charred pages from someone's beloved books glide to your feet on poison winds.

Your periodic reminder that if you need to get out of your house FAST, do not bother trying to stuff your cats into carriers, just scoop them up in pillowcases. (You can drop said squirming rage sacks into carriers for added security if you have time.)

Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias.
He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was ProPublica reporter @josh-kaplan.bsky.social.

New York Times Editor’s note: “Jimmy Carter died on Dec. 29, 2024. Roughly a year before he entered hospice care, he wrote his final New York Times Opinion essay. In it, he looked back on the Capitol riot and explained why he was so worried about American democracy.”

I’d like to be considered for this show.
I'm once again asking for a show where a librarian, a bookseller, and a carpenter travel around helping people manage their out-of-control book collections. Discuss their sentimental value, their rarity, their histories, then build amazing book nooks and shelves and little libraries to organize them

A month later: Everyone has their favorite postmortem take:
Maybe we should admit MAGA is in fact an extremist third party, and should be treated as such. The overwhelming majority of folks polled are centrist. Conservatives need to look deep, decide if they are MAGA or Republicans.
