THANK YOU, jesus christ. This country is so obsessed with performing anti-crime, but it seems like now is a great opportunity to refuse to entertain that impulse. Find another way to say that people don't deserve to be yanked out of their lives and put in hell.

I think of this as giving my brain something to do so it will let me do a task. It is a working dog brain and needs its own job.

From many states away, I am so fucking proud of our friends in MN.

Living in the woods is a lesson in how much everything does matter.

As they yanked her out, she said she's disabled and was on her way to an appointment. They continued manhandling her and couldn't care less.

I've been wishing Ryan Coogler would make this movie.

I appreciate Tommy pushing back here, but Rahm displayed his core rot by using the word "permissive" in public. Too permissive. He genuinely thinks it's not disgusting to talk about people's rights and dignity as a question of what he and the party will allow. That's fundamentalist shit.

What a wise and delightful take, thank you.

Re the moon: in which state is it a better ally? Full or New? Waxing or Waning? Rising or Setting? Thank you.

Including an MIT philosophy prof's vague comments on the "problem" of a "pendulum swing" is a wild choice. First, what? Second, I'm not actually trying to get into the Meaning of Identity with a stranger; it's just extremely dangerous for people to be outed all over the place.

Keep up the good fight here. Blue state libs easily fall prey to reductive stories about enemies. Our friends in the south - queer, immigrant, union, etc - have their backs against the wall; they deserve our respect. Defeating fascism anywhere requires recognizing comrades everywhere.
