"My silences had not protected me. Your silence will not protect you.” — Audre Lorde #Resist
We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.

Authoritarians want you to feel isolated and alone, to feel like their vision of the world is the only one.
That’s why taking part in public protests matters. You connect with other people like you and you show those numbers off to the world. It’s a great feeling. Try it!

Good news folks!
I was complaining to my son about the CDC guidance disappearing and he said “the internet is forever” and told me about the nonprofit archive.org.
You can just plug in popular web pages in their “wayback machine” and see what was on the pages in the past. 🤓

I read this book a few years ago during Trump’s trial reign and couldn’t agree more with @davidpepperoh.bsky.social.

A year ago, I wrote a review of Erik Larson's "In the Garden of Beasts," an account of the US Ambassador to Germany's tenure there in the early-mid 30s.
