LOVE ALWAYS WINS.
-5°F in Minneapolis tonight.
At the site where feds killed Alex Pretti, the air still smells faintly of tear gas. Hundreds of people still here behind some impromptu barricades.
Message spray painted on the road reads, "fuck ICE, love always wins."

Let me just say it again: he can’t cancel the midterms. Elections are administered by states.
He can’t do it. Stop telling people he can do it.
Telling people their votes don’t matter based on absolutely false fantasizing by the demented sociopath is doing the work of voter suppression for him.

Perhaps, in all this darkness/oppression, the world could somehow find itself experiencing not an autocratic ascent but "a new birth of freedom;" and "that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth" but rise while autocrats stumble and fall. Imagine.

Honestly at this point I cannot say which is more likely: him getting impeached and actually removed from office, or the US going to war with Europe over Greenland.

Gonna need eyes on SIDESHOW soon. Just putting feelers out there.
Current LL:
A miraculous headless chicken turns a dirt-poor farmer into a sideshow sensation, but when fame and fortune slip away, he must decide how far he’ll go to stay in the spotlight, and what he’s willing to lose.

Grandma was watching the news about the ICE shooting that happened today.
Grandma: “What does ICE stand for?”
Me: “Immigration and Customs Enforcement. They—”
Grandma: “Oh, so they’re Nazis.”
If Holocaust survivors can tell, so should everyone else.

Me, upon waking my husband: Good morning! We are at war with Venezuela. Well, maybe “war” isn’t the right word for it. We just bombed the capital and kidnapped the president.
It sounds insane because it IS insane.

Before we moved most of our town offices (to the site of an abandoned mental institution), our town hall was also home to a second-run movie theater. (It’s still a movie theater, it’s just not functioning as town hall anymore.)

Someone got my credit card information and used it to buy themselves $300 gift cards each to West Elm and Quince. But they were nice enough to send the receipts to my email so I was alerted right away.
West Elm canceled the gift card immediately. Quince is still reviewing.
