"No I am an anti-fascist."

LA has entered the chat. Fuck. Yes.
The federal government is sowing chaos so they can have an excuse to escalate.
That is not the way any civilized country behaves.

Such a haul! We're visiting Seattle and I've raided a couple of used book stores, as I do. Can you believe I got all of these for like $29 (plus tax, of course)? I've read a couple of these already, but they're due for a re-read (and to recommend to my kiddos). Score!

Scenes from our dystopia:
This weekend I went to a writer's conference. One of the sessions was on writing dystopian fiction. One of the presenters couldn't come because she is from another country and was concerned about being detained at the border due to her visa type. The irony is not lost.

The video from the town hall in Idaho is exactly what we’ve warned everyone about. Imagine being a grown man, so threatened by our rights that you openly mock and have her dragged out, violently while everyone stays seated. Oh, wait. They elected one just like him. Is this the great part yet?
