Right now, I feel powerless. I feel I’ve done what I can so far, and I’ll continue to do what I can. I just hope that at the end of all this, America actually has the political courage to bring the criminals of the Trump administration to justice

The predatory behavior of the Trump Administration makes me very angry. I’m going to be furious if no one goes to jail for this and all the rest

It’s one of those textbooks that kind of makes you feel like a genius reading it because the flow is so smooth

Sakurai and Napolitano is on the short list of books to make the first trip to Germany with me when I move this month

The most popular song on the album is “Brick” by the band which is quite good. “Evaporated” is a great song about depression and feeling adrift in life (I listened to it a lot—for obvious reasons—when I stopped taking classes). “Selfless, Cold, and Composed” is still a favorite

My other one was Casino Peasant

Kudos if you are able to guess the context. No, I was not dressed up as a turtle

The analogy to gitmo is quite close though. And probably not a coincidence

It’s a recurring theme in history that governments in countries where civil society is influential prefer to commit their worst human rights abuses abroad (when they can). Partly to be less visible, b also on the dubious (to say the least) legal grounds that they are not resp. if outside the country

I don’t know the answer for certain. Maybe I do somethings, but not enough. I suppose I’ll have to accept some responsibility—it may be ascribed to me as an American whether I deserve it or not. I feel very angry and disgusted and sorry for what is happening in the US right now

I know the point isn’t about how this make me feel (per se), but I am ambivalent about what responsibility I must accept for all of this. What shame should I personally feel for the crimes of movement I have voted against and opposed at every opportunity?
