NYT: The Border Is Invading America

By Jean Guerrero

"The U.S.-Mexico border is no longer just a line on a map; it is a roaming force drifting through our cities and ravaging schools, courthouses and workplaces. It has become unmoored from geography." @jeanguerre.bsky.social Gift link!

Left a perfectly good party at 10pm last night because I had to run in the morning. Is this how it happens? Am I a runner now?

Of course they are coming for the Blacksonian. We knew this would happen, but we also know there are some things you can't destroy.

Someone beloved brought this poem back to me today, decades after I first read it, and then said “let it fail again today.”

And so I am sharing with you.

Death did not arrive with black cloaks, scythes or skeletal pointing; no, it landed on the sill with a flutter and a #chirp.
"Come, beloved," it said, its eyes sparkling. "Your feathers are beautiful. Shake out your wings and soar with me in the heavens. This has always been your destiny."

Arsenal really beat Madrid home and away and truly were the better team. Can’t believe it. Incredible work from the boys. Huge credit to Arteta. I don’t think all our fans appreciate how solid he has made us.
