In Paris, a young woman pauses from her work to look out the window—a symbol of transition. To convey her contemplative mood, the artist creates a contrast between her strong, rigid arm and the undulating, sagging outline of her back.
Henri Toulouse-Lautrec, "The Laundress" (1889)

a breath has left;
a country is dying;
and a man laid his face
on its pavement today
as though he were listening
to a patient's heart—

The dying patient is our country,
a part of all of us also died with Alex

We are past the "Authoritarianism is coming" stage, after one year into Trump's second term we are all now living in a facist state, no different than Russia, N Korea, Iran or even Nazi Germany. Wake up people "Authoritarianism is already here!".

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.
Shhh. Republicans are trying to repeal Obamacare again. Sort of.
They’re not branding it an Obamacare repeal this time around, but congressional Republicans are pursuing cuts to programs that are part of the 15-year-old health-care law.

Trump and Musk are about to give refugee status to 60 white South Africans — who do not need it — while Trump locks up and deports refugees here who face genuine dangers in other countries.
This is the sick global apartheid policy being adopted by this lawless administration.

Trump shut out refugees but is making White South Africans an exception
About 60 Afrikaners are set to be routed through Virginia next week, documents show, in a notable exception to President Donald Trump’s suspension of refugee admissions.

It's surreal to me, not as an immigrant but a human, that the "send people back where they came from" is a burning issue in 2025. From dawn of civilisation people have travelled, not just to invade and conquer, but to grow, create new cultures. It's how the world's been shaped for 2 million years!

Before folks overreact to headlines about the judge’s ruling in the Khalil case, please note that (1) it was an immigration judge (IJ), not a federal district court; and (2) the IJ had no power to consider Khalil’s constitutional objections.
This particular decision was a fait accompli.

Apropos of nothing: Kamala Harris predicted this exact moment happening:
“Understand that part of Trump’s plan is to put in place a national sales tax of at least 20% on everyday goods and necessities.”
She warned us over & over again & she was so right.
