I wrote about how James Gunn’s Superman alters a load-bearing piece of the character’s mythology to tell a very different kind of immigrant story.
Conservatives Are Freaking Out About the New, “Woke” Superman. He’s Something Else Entirely.
Yes, the latest blockbuster makes Clark Kent an immigrant—but that’s not the twist.

KMOX reported there were 150+ protests at post office across the country!
My brother’s union called for a day of action to support USPS in the face of DOGE, so we froze our butts off in downtown St. Louis this morning.

It's not a scare tactic to use the word. It's descriptive.
People have been saying "call it fascism" lately and I just feel the general public may not have a clear picture of what fascism IS. It's not a scare tactic to use the word; it's descriptive.

The last time we tried to annex Canada, things went badly. I really would prefer not to get into a war with Canada. All of our NATO allies are bound to defend them by treaty

Canada as the 51st state? Trump thinks it would be a boon to his legacy. But it would also be a boon to Democrats, who would gain a lot more voters. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/u...
Canada as the 51st State? In Electoral Terms, Trump’s Idea Favors Democrats.
Bringing Canada into the United States, however farcical the prospect may seem, would alter the political map in a way likely to cost Republicans.

Hope is not audacious but kindness certainly is. We now live in times where treating people who are different with decency is an act of quiet rebellion.
Keep rebelling. The world is a big place and we all deserve a decent life in it.
