I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

Watching these videos of ICE attacking children, I can’t help but think about how many of these men first practiced their violence in their own homes.

There's no daylight between the Gestapo and ICE. None. Murdering kidnapping, raping, child molestation, trafficking, beating innocent people. If you have a Rep who isn't calling to abolish immediately then they work for the Gestapo. Anyone who tells you that you're overreacting is one of them too

I often tell people online that these are my parents, and finally someone believed me! And then I found myself thinking, well, they sort of ARE my parents.

Congrats @rabihalameddine.bsky.social!! His books are phenomenal--so excited to read the new one. And check out his BlueSky if you haven't already; it's without question one of THE reasons to remain on this site.
In his wry, idiosyncratic novels, Rabih Alameddine, who won the National Book Award last month, has attempted to wrestle with the terrifying arbitrariness of fate, Lily Meyer writes:

Travel writer Rick Steves said he takes the verse ‘love thy neighbor’ seriously and paid more than $2 million to save the facility in Washington state.

This is the most coked up you can be without actually opening a restaurant during the presser
yeah I mean it’s genuinely sad that the “reasonable old school” Republican (who Dems eagerly and unanimously voted to confirm) is out here doing pressers blatantly geeked out coke and it’s not subtle
