I drink coffee and read a lot of books, pay more attention to politics than is good for my mental health, and some days I even get around to creating stuff.

This is what I imagine the mind of a 12 year old boy from the 1980s would look like if he had to write a paper entitled "What I Want to Be When I Grow Up". I seriously cannot believe this is the timeline I actually live in.

I'm going to start asking people this. And I'll add the "A" for Accessibility as well. I'm going make people explain exactly what they oppose and why, just like I started asking men who tell sexist jokes to explain to me why they're funny.

Trump is freeing the violent paramilitary wing of his movement from prison in order to:
1) demonstrate that violence committed in service of his objectives will go unpunished, and
2) facilitate future acts of violence in service of his regime.
