I don’t think we should have ceded control quite so quickly and without so much as a fight.

It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in the great stories. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy. How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad happened.

And word is some of the survivors of the Brown Uni shooting also survived mass shootings at their high schools. :/
The government has banned a “woke font” to keep us safe from...something? 🤔

Sometimes, spending 5 hours getting the aesthetic of your graphs just right and trouble shooting dodges, geom_text in the strip plot but with alpha=0.7 background (not changing the actual font of the text), manual colors, and adding in axis breaks is just

Betcha didn't have money on the Catholic Church being the only institution with the spine to stand up to fascism this time round.
BREAKING: At Pope Leo XIV’s urging, U.S. Catholic bishops just delivered the strongest rebuke of a sitting president in Church history — condemning Trump-Vance raids as “inhumane” and “dehumanizing” in a 216–5 vote.
NEW: At Pope Leo’s Urging, Bishops Issue Historic Rebuke of Trump’s Raids
Nearly all U.S. Catholic bishops united in Baltimore to denounce the Trump administration’s “inhumane” deportation campaign — a near-unanimous, unprecedented moral stand against a sitting president.
