An introduction: I'm a bookseller of many decades, the main used book-buyer at a new/used book shop. I love our community of readers. Since a teenager I've been practicing Soto Zen and Tibetan forms of meditation. I am a non-theistic Satanist. I'm also a musician and a magician.

Minutes ago today the Trump regime abruptly cancelled citizenship ceremonies for several immigrants in Boston.
THEY CANCELLED CITIZENSHIP CEREMONIES.
These immigrants followed every rule & did everything right—Trump banned them anyway. All are from Black & brown majority nations.
This Is Fascism.
