Aye on ALL of this.
Ending this operation is not enough.
We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.

Getting word that they shut down the El Paso airport because Secretary Duffy heard that there was someone wearing sweatpants on a flight to Houston.

This is great advice.
you ever unsure of what to do so you just reread Brigit Pegeen Kelly until the thing you’re waiting for happens

Damn Dean Young for the entire structure of this poem that leads us so carefully, so accumulatively, up up up towards the negation. Mysticism, absurdity, fable, tenderness: Young’s ensemble. Landing in that anaphora of three “And”s at the end. ⚡️Adding to subtract. Incredible 🥹 🫀

finally perfected this Old Fashioned drink I had at a bar that was great but not too sweet:
2.5 oz rye
.5 oz amaro
.25 oz honey simple syrup
5 dashes of orange bitters
5 dashes of walnut bitters
1 amaretto cherry
stir 30 times and garnish with a lemon peel
it's amazing

one of the things I’m realizing I love here vs the other place is that most skeets don’t have media, it’s just people talking/sharing thoughts. It’s just so… nice seeing people and not Media Content.

If as many people could quote this passage like they could quote his speech from the march on Washington, we would be in a very different place, politically and socially speaking.

This passage rings true as much today as the day it was written. And what does that say about the "progress" made to get to where we are today?
Confront white liberals when they advocate their negative peace or try to set the timetable for another person's freedom. Be antiracist. Be the accomplice.

Seems weird the two things they tell you about gift horses is "never look one in the mouth" and then the story of the Trojan horse, which is any why you should always look them in the mouth.
