Lander is such a G
The crime is not what we were doing protesting in the 10th floor elevator lobby of 26 Federal Plaza.

The crime is what ICE agents are doing on the other side of the door.
NEW: Brad Lander says he wants a trial, not a deal to drop his charge stemming from an arrest by ICE.

[1.2] And for the six days straight before that as well.
[1.3] Resting whips ass he said.
[1.4] It was all formless and empty
and always would be.
[1.5] And none of this ever happened to any of us.
[1.6] We were all resting too.

Did you accept the apology? says Connell.
She nods, looking down at her nails. Of course I did, she says. I don’t go in for grudges.
Luckily for me, he replies.

She wishes that she could have forgiven Rob, even if it meant nothing to him. When she thinks of him now, it’s always with his face hidden, turning away, behind his locker door, behind the rolled up window of his car. (1/2)

Dwelling on the sight of Connell’s face always gives Marianne a certain pleasure, which can be inflected with any number of feelings ... His appearance is like a favorite piece of music to her, sounding a little different each time she hears it.

“Why do you have to act so weird around her?
He frowned, still lying with his eyes shut, face turned to the ceiling. How I act with her is my normal personality, he said. Maybe I’m just a weird person.

“Marianne, he said.
He said this aloud without thinking about it. She looked up and saw him then. Her face was like a white flower. She put her arms around his neck and he held her tightly. He could smell the inside of her house on her clothes.” (1/2)

“Because of the white dress and because of the white china cup, he wants to say: You look like an angel. It’s not even something Helen would mind him saying, but he can’t talk like that in front of people anyway, saying whimsical affectionate things.”

“Marianne puts her hand to the door handle and then sees them inside. This all seems to happen very slowly, though it only takes a few seconds. She opens the door … and he feels a sort of enjoyably painful sensation in this throat.”

I’ve been an atheist since I was a teen, and this still messes me up. It doesn’t surprise me but it fills me with a visceral disgust and rage.

Growing up in a time when “selling out” was the most shameful thing you could do and then being forced to live through the 2020s feels like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

I went to St. Ignatius on Roosevelt and Racine; Little Village was like a second home.
Aguascalientes Carnicería y Taqueria released a statement expressing their rejection of ICE raids in Chicago after one of their own workers was taken 3 weeks ago.

Bovino and federal agents also entered Aguascalientes last week but were denied service.
