I realize that we haven’t technically been at war with Italy since like 1943. But we damn near broke off diplomatic relations at the end of the second period, and I think UN peacekeepers might be on the ice before all’s said and done.

The truth is that hate is as insatiable as it is hollow.
The hope is that people will someday grow tired of the bitter taste of ashes in their mouths,the aching emptiness.
The fear is that when they finally do, ashes will be all that’s left.

So much of the right’s reactions to what blue states and communities are doing in response to the redistricting power grab, vindictive deportations and brutal ICE assaults boil down to the shocked whine of a preening bully who gets punched in the face: “It’s not fair if you fight back!”

I’m beginning to feel as if I’m due for a re-read of Tim O’Brien’s book “The Things They Carried.” If that gives you a sense of how things are going in my head these days.

Living in Minnesota right now feels like being in the emergency room. Literally everyone is suffering in different ways, even if it's "just" a badly twisted ankle rather than a kidney stone or a full-on heart attack. The staff are working as hard as they can but energy and resources are dwindling.

Every time I see a sign language interpreter physically inhabit the meaning of spoken words or music, I am reminded that expressing ideas and emotions in language can and should be a multi-sensory, full-body experience.

My biggest issue with language is that there are too many words for things, but almost none of them are the ones I need.

Perhaps it’s time to reconsider America’s longstanding tradition of refusing to hold powerful people accountable for crimes and misdeeds in the interest of “healing the nation.” You know, assuming that there’s still a nation and all.

One of my more low-key profound later-life realizations is that I’m not really a control freak—I just don’t like to be in situations where I’m treated like I don’t matter.

I have no interest in arguing or attempting to reason with people who have decided that the rights and lives of human beings they don’t like are an acceptable sacrifice for their own comfort and ideological satisfaction. There’s no common ground to be found there.
