I didn’t see anything about protests in Boston today but I did just see someone getting off the T with a sign, so there must have been something on the Common. Please note it is extremely cold here today. But people went out.

24 hours ago, journalists were wondering aloud what "deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty" could possibly mean
Hard to watch US TV media discussing how the US might occupy and run a foreign country as if it’s a perfectly normal political development.

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

Hi, I'm prolonged labor!
I'd say I was "never having been born in the first place due to my mom having been ridiculously premature" except, neonatology not having been invented yet, she just muscled straight through that one.

In 2026 I want all of the decent people to remember one thing.
You aren’t meant to be this disciplined, this self-sacrificing to survive. The environment is supposed to support good living. We can have that. You are not a failure. That is politics.
That is all.

So, librarians, do you have a contingency plan for when these goons enter your facility? You might not be able to block access to a public building, but how are you alerting your patrons? Do you have a plan to get them out safely? Because you should.

We are *all* Real America in the same way a naturalized citizen who took his oath five seconds ago is exactly as much of a citizen as someone whose ancestors came over on the Mayflower.
Another good practice for the New Year would be for all the non-fascists in America who want to opine about politics to really begin believing that urban America is Real America & that its denizens are The Authentic People. Get some self-respect & drop the volkish nationalist view that they're not
And I think liberals should stop taking the bait and ceding ground on immigration.
Immigration is good. Multiculturalism is good. Free trade is good. Stop being embarrassed to say so.
