Children's book author @jamesponti.bsky.social is one of the good guys, a genuinely wonderful human.

If you missed his touching Father's Day-themed essay in People over the weekend, consider starting the week off with it. You won't be disappointed.

I’m so glad papers like the Berkshire Eagle still exist. this reporter covered every detail of these arrests, including quashing a rumor that the building’s maintainance guy called ICE on these men (he didn’t). support your local journalists!
Masked, armed ICE agents arrest two men in Great Barrington apartment building as witnesses taunt, shoot video
The arrests this morning in Great Barrington were witnessed and videotaped by multiple bystanders in The Triplex Cinema parking lot. Tenants of the building say ICE has surveilled the building

I knew this would happen, but it's still surreal to hear another nation's leader talk to us in a televised address the way US presidents have historically spoken to the citizens of countries led by dictators and despots.
Trudeau: "I want to speak first directly to the American people. We don't want this. We want to work with you as a friend and ally. We don't want to see you hurt either. But your government has chosen to do this to you. As of this morning, markets are down and inflation is set to rise dramatically."

I can't think of a faster way to undermine the country than simultaneously firing government workers, cutting scientific research, rolling back protections on public health & environment, & cutting essential services. It's like the US was defeated in war and is being occupied by a hostile enemy.

I am so sick of this shit. It’s a Sieg Heil. It’s a Nazi salute. Anyone who sees it knows. It’s ridiculous that legal departments presumably won’t let media call it what it is. Bannon made “a provocative gesture that resembled the salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally”? Fuck off.

Footage from last year is now resurfacing of Trump promising to “end inflation” starting on “day one.”

— Egg prices are up.
— Gas prices are up.
— He is promising tariffs that will raise prices even more.
