I teach, I write, I occasionally abuse a ukulele. Recently referred to as "radical left faculty." I post about gardening and sports culture and my tragic love of the Buffalo Bills. Detroit Red Wings fan. There will be cat photos. She/Her. Opinions my own.

These US military mobilizations combined w/federal law enforcement deployments in LA, now in DC, & potentially elsewhere aren't intended to fix anything. They're intended to normalize Trump & his team's authoritarianism & give Stephen Miller the tinglies. 15/

Newsom: "He doesn't play by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in the rules. As a consequence, we need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done.

yet we can’t fund public schools
Last night, I got home a few mins before 9pm. By the time I was outside to walk the dog at 9:05, there were a dozen federal agents and local cops on the stairs and lawn of the house directly across the street from me.

They chose “fuck them poor people” w/ a big side of “especially the brown ones” as their policy. Masks off, cool. Now the job of every opposition-minded person in the USA is to make sure those affected understand & vote accordingly. Like their life depends on it. Winning comes down to COMMUNICATION

Wow! France gifted her to us, and now they’ve captured what so many Americans are feeling on Independence Day. The values the Statue of Liberty stood for are no more.
