I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that.

The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one.

This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

Any person in uniform wearing a mask and refusing to be properly and reliably identified should be assumed to be the same kind of murderer we’ve seen in Minnesota.
Shooters were dressed like law enforcement and this is exactly why I’m pissed about ice officers wearing masks, driving unmarked cars and not being identifiable when they terrorize communities

To me, casually mentioning that you use chatGPT is like casually mentioning that you had Chick-fil-A for lunch or shop at Hobby Lobby- I will just low key mentally dismiss anything you have to say forever.

So this week we’ve had a man impersonating an ICE agent tie up a woman and steal $1000; a man impersonating a police officer assassinate a top Democratic politician & her husband (and shoot another Democrat & his wife); and a man impersonating a king hold a military parade for his birthday

i really like doing these symmetrical geometric designs a lot, figuring out how to fill the space and balance the sections from the corners and the center. i tried to challenge myself a little with weird shapes and more detail, and i think it turned out well. i’m calling it Guarded

my favorite thing about tricksters is they’re also often very difficult or impossible to truly kill, which means that when the godly war of the apocalypse comes, the only ones left in the end will be the Impossibly Powerful Chaos Gremlins and their Eternal Shenanigans
This is everything to me

if you lived through the lead up to the iraq war then you know that this is the most delusional thing anyone has ever said
VP lecturing "the Europeans" again:

"...if the Europeans had been a little more independent, and a little more willing to stand up, then maybe we could have saved the entire world from the strategic disaster that was the American-led invasion of Iraq."

Yes, pity Paris and Berlin were so pro-war...

On top of everything, we should be deeply troubled by the government’s arbitrary designation of someone as a terrorist without providing any evidence in public (and then backing it up by citing El Salvador’s president’s arbitrary designation of him as a terrorist)

it’s “cause we say it it’s true”
Leavitt: "Abrego Garcia was a foreign terrorist. He is an MS-13 gang member. He was engaged in human trafficking." (The White House hasn't provided evidence for any of these claims ... )

These are not detainments—they are kidnappings.

These are not deportations—they are human trafficking.

These are not detention centers—they are concentration camps.

Language matters.

This is fascism.

We've seen videos like this before, but usually when you see a tearful wife pleading with the kidnappers who have taken her husband, she's not talking to the U.S. president
Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

I wish this was mentioned more often in news reports & on bsky:

The most famous act of defiance by a president against the Supreme Court was when Andrew Jackson forcibly removed thousands of Indigenous people, a murderous display now known as the Trail of Tears

It is legally impossible to deport citizens. This is not deportation. Removing citizens to foreign prisons, knowing to a certainty that they will be subjected to treatment that violates the U.S. constitution, doesn’t deserve any label that connotes legal legitimacy.

One of the reasons Obama reneging on his promise to close it drove a wedge between a much younger me and the Democratic Party.

It was - is - so obviously evil, so obviously unethical, so obviously illegal, so obviously wrong. It's a violation of every principle we claim as a nation.
People almost 25 years ago who said "Guantanamo being allowed to exist will inevitably lead to death camps in South America" were viewed as alarmists the entire time, especially during the 12 years of democrat presidencies.
