Meant to mention this last week, but if you have a young person in your life who’s into history or graphic novels or just good books, buy them George Takei’s “They Called Us Enemy.” My oldest couldn’t put it down.

In this day and age, living in a place that
- you like,
- you can afford,
- you can find a job,
- you have family/friends,
- you feel safe, and
- you *are* safe from natural disasters/bad laws/worse
is luxury and privilege. Almost no one gets to check all the boxes.
So maybe don’t be an asshole.

So the New Orleans attacker was an American and the Vegas Cybertruck driver was an American and yet despite those verifiable facts, MAGA and their melon-hued messiah are still out there blaming both of those tragic incidents on “the border”…

Something so disturbingly evil & dark about Putin.
Any politician who at this point still makes excuses for him or tries to appease him in any which way shares as dark a soul as Putin has. No political or economic gain, however small, excuses any form of cooperation with this individual.
