“If everybody always lies to you, the consequence is not that you believe the lies, but rather that nobody believes anything any longer… And a people that no longer can believe anything cannot make up its mind…And with such a people you can then do what you please.”

The President’s immediate SM reaction to this event was to call her a terrorist and state she had left the officer on the brink of death after running over him.
Video showed that this was entirely bogus.
You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

I started the year reading my Christmas books: loved Sarah Perry’s account of her father-in-law’s decline and death; hoovered up Zadie Smith’s latest essays; enjoying Damian Barr’s The Two Roberts very much.
