There are so many fucked up things with the current administration that it's hard to focus on one but this recent move is basically a death sentence for the planet. I've been involved with more boots on the ground actions over the years than I can count and this really bums me out.

Oh, man. Every time I turn on cable news, it’s the worst day ever. They arrested Don Lemon, and now Catherine O’Hara died?

Every day he's in the White House blustering & buffooning, corroding & corrupting our country, I want you to remember we could have had her. If we weren't divided by silly partisan infighting. If we weren't afraid to nominate a woman again. If we believed in ourselves. Let’s get it together for 2028
This is still one of my favorite photos ever taken.

The television from this era will always be unreal. May it pass into a strange, sorrowful memory that guides us to a brighter future.

The sickest thing about these ICE thugs is that they're all making huge federal salaries with Cadillac benefits, while the workers who build and clean houses that they're paid to terrorize are struggling to get by. Every ICE terrorist deserves to be separated from their families and locked up.

Well, I say try!
I say: Laugh at the kings or they'll make you cry!

End family separation forever in this country. It's not immigration policy. It's state-sponsored terrorism. Always has been, always will be.
