Every American should read this ACLU lawsuit about what is happening in Los Angeles and California. It is the stuff of dystopian nightmares. This is not immigration enforcement. It is positively stuffed with videos and articles documenting racial profiling on a scale unseen since Jim Crow.

The campaign against trans rights is also about stripping away everyone’s protections against discrimination, reviving, as Douglass put it “the moral blindness” of those who “persuade themselves that they are safe, though the rights of others may be struck down.”

The Attack on Trans Rights Won’t End There

Years ago @mcphee.com sold these little glow-in-the-dark puffer fish. I still have a bunch. I cut a little slit in the top of each so I can put them on a random christmas light here and there over the tree. Nobody notices unless they look close.

Watched "Totem" last night. I wonder how they made this film that captures crisscross family chaos, as if the filmmakers just showed up inside a real family. The story doesn't focus on the little girl all of the time, but the camera is like a kid, too -- a silent, observant one. Great movie.

There is an epidemic of loneliness and despair in America. Especially among youth.
📱, 💻 addiction, school fights, and physical health issues are a symptom - not the source.
We've created a world inhospitable to human connection without an automobile.
The answer is places built for people.
