Great tyranny, lay thou thy basis sure,

ICE love to murder people whose last words are things like "I'm not mad at you" or "are you ok?"

Minnesotans are really setting the blueprint for fighting fascism. They are being shot dead in the street and still they come out to protect their people. They continue to document, to alert neighbors, to buy and drop off groceries. Everyday. May we all be so brave

Mr. Perry recommends a brisk walk, several excerpts of “Emma,” and a slice of cake (in moderation) to celebrate the publication of Jane Austen’s “Emma” on this day in 1815.
