It's official. Nearly 7 million people. Today is the single largest day of protest in American history. Americans from all corners of the country are standing up and saying #NoKings. This is what peaceful, patriotic protest looks like.

This is so chilling.
"A plane removing a tail number is the equivalent of a car removing a license plate. With the tail number, civilians, journalists, and immigration organizations alike can keep an eye on which deportation flights are leaving, and to where."

ICE Is Going to Sinister Lengths to Avoid Accountability

The story that ignited my hunger for more stories.
The story that inspired the most mail The New Yorker had ever received in response to a work of fiction—and caused some readers to cancel their subscriptions.
“The Lottery,” by Shirley Jackson
Fiction, from 1948: “The people had done it so many times that they only half listened to the directions; most of them were quiet, wetting their lips, not looking around.”

Don’t forget, Chauvin’s state crimes can’t be pardoned - and that’s the longer of the two sentences. Also don’t forget the people who support that murderer.

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything,

Understand this. This is how these things happen— and not just in 1930 - 40s Germany — but in Argentina, Brazil, Guatemala, Lebanon etc etc etc. We need to protect immigrants and our other vulnerable neighbours. This is indeed the moral moment.
